This may sound a little weird but...

After going pee, normally a guy can just shake a few times, and put it away. I don't know why but for the last month or so, every time I go to the bathroom, its like I can't get all of the pee to come out. Its hard to explain... but I'll try. Think of a straw full of water now plug one end and hold it perfectly sideways, its like the "straw" just won't drain. If I just put it away, it will all drain down my leg (GROSS!! ) I have to kind of squeeze from the back all the way forward a few times to get at least most of it out, but even that don't always work.

Is this normal? Like I said, its only been doing this for a month or so. What would cause this? Should I go to the doctor?

What is your age? Have you had a prostate exam recently?

I'm 23... almost 24. I have never had a prostate exam. Honestly I don't even know what exactly it is...

Are you sexually active? If so, you may want to get checked for an STD.

The prostate is a sex gland in men. It is about the size of a walnut, and surrounds the neck of the bladder and urethra -- the tube that carries urine from the bladder. It is partly muscular and partly glandular, with ducts opening into the prostatic portion of the urethra. It is made up of three lobes: a center lobe with one lobe on each side.
The prostate gland secretes a slightly alkaline fluid that forms part of the seminal fluid, a fluid that carries sperm.

When enlarged can cause a problem similar to what you are describing.




You should probably make a doctor's appointment to check for STDs and/or an enlarged prostate. Though you are fairly young for proatate enlargement, it should not be ruled out without an exam.

Yes I am sexually active. Is it weird that it don't do it all the time? It hasn't done it at all since I made this post. (I have a small bladder so I go several times a day)

Just wanted to comment that Doctors are finding this to sort of thing becoming more and more common with those around the ages of 15 and 25. They are not sure what it is whether it is from drinking too much soda or aggravating the prostate from sitting down for prolong amounts of time. You are not alone.
