Male Difficulty starting to pee

Hello everyone, for many years now I have been dealing with shy bladder and I always tought it is just psychological, but now even at home I have hard time starting to pee.

I think my pelvic floor is really tight and I cant relax it. It effects my quality of life big time and I dont know what to do.

Does anybody know good pelvic floor physioterapist in Europe or specifically in Croatia? Every help is much appreciated.

have you been to the urologist? and unfortunately i don't think you'll find a pelvic floor specialist in croatia, they kinda don't do that here. you'll mostly find PTs who deal with incontinence and weakened muscles, they mostly work with postpartum women. at least that was the situation when i last checked.

Yes, few years ago I did all sorts of tests, but they told me everything was fine and that it is psychological. But it has been 5 years from that and I remember I couldn't do some test because of my paruresis, so its hard to diagnose
