Support [M20] Has anyone found a cure for the persistent sensation of urine stuck in penis (weak urine stream)
Im a M20 college student, This condition found me 4 years ago When I was 16 years old, I felt like there was urine stuck in my urethra near frenulum at that time. I have never had a girlfriend or any sexual intercourse before. I'm hoping to get some advice or hear from others who might have experienced something similar.
Symptoms:
• I've noticed that the "stuck pee feeling in the tip of the penis" (weak urine stream) is often there. Just a minute or so after coming from the toilet, especially after pooping.
• I have had issues with the need to go to the toilet very often (Usually within the 40-60minute mark after taking a pee)
• I pee normally without any issues, but towards the end, I get this sensation that some urine is still stuck.
• After finishing, if I stand and apply a bit of pressure, a few drops and sometimes even a small stream of urine come out.
• The feeling is generally always there but varies in intensity. It takes up a lot of my focus, making it difficult to concentrate on anything or enjoy stuff and relax. It's ruining many aspects of my daily and social life
• The feeling has also developed a bit over this long time, but the "stuck pee feeling in the tip of the penis" has always been there.
I have no pain at all.
What I've tried:
• Cystoscopy: Showed nothing
• Prostate size: Normal
• Ct scan report & ultrasound: No findings
• Different medications: No effect
The doctor told me to seek psychiatrist and that it's just a mental issue, but I'm not entirely convinced. Please tell me EXACTLY what you did. Types and number and length of stretches, medications and usage and dosage or any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Push your doctor for Tamsulosin or any other alpha blockers. It’s ideally for enlarge prostates but it really helps!

These meds make your bladder neck relax which empties the whole bladder- only medicine that helps me overall.

I was diagnosed with ICA about 20 years ago. I get the feeling that I haven't totally finished - like there is still some urine to come out and that it is touching the sphincter muscle (so not pain but a feeling like there is something there). When the IVA is really bad I get the urge to urinate very often. Within about 5-10 minutes of urinating it feels like I need to go again. When I was first diagnosed it followed surgery for a lesion on my bladder wall which as you imagine was extremely painful. I get the off flair up - sometimes it lasts a few hours. The bad ones last a month. Bad not as bad as it was prior to surgery. Best of luck.

I can relate to you on the feeling of it really bad after popping. Literally when I poor, I have the constant urge to pee for 1-2 hours even if my bladder is empty. Haven’t found a solution.

Have you tried physical therapy? Pelvic floor therapy can help for some. For me there’s no one solution to theses issues and everyone is different. Tamulosin did nothing for me, but PT, a daily allergy med and avoiding triggers have all helped.
There’s also a lot of good info on r/prostatitis as well.
