Hi
I've had a fear now for a long time of not being able to urinate. It happened in May this year after a medication reacted badly with another medication which meant i had to have a catheta for a week which is awful.
In the following 2 months i had again, twice, once after starting citalopram whilst still on the medication, and once whilst on the normal medication.
Eventually the doctors realized it was the medication i was on which was the problem, even though i had been on it for over 4 years. i stopped taking it and it went back to normal, and have never had it since.
But every so often, i get intense fear that something isn't right and it takes too long to pee, that i'm going to get urine retention again, i've had this fear on and off ever since.
Yesterday i was going to the toilet fine, i went to tesco and went to the toilet. Before i went to the toilet, my manhood just felt a little bit sensetiv eon the shaft if i pushed it with fingers, so when i went to the toilet at tesco i had this in the back of my mind i had a little bit of difficulty starting and maintaing the flow, just a tiny bit, but i had this fear of urine retention in the back of my mind so maybe i was concentrating on it too much.
I got home and started worrying and obsessing over it and timing how long it takes, and the same this morning, right up till now. I am going okay, it doesn't sting, its normal colour, good flow, but its taking me about 4-5 seconds to start, i am very anxious about it and i'm trying not to think about it, but if it takes longer than 2 seconds i start worrying which maybe makes it worse?
Can anxiety, and actually thinking about going to the toilet make it take longer for anything to happen? I'm getting paranoid again, and getting really depressed and worried about going to the toilet again :(
I've had tests in the past, end of August in fact, and everything is fine, bladder normal, prostate normal size, nothing inflamed, no blood in urine, i empty the bladder fine, and its all been fine. I'm just getting myself into a state now that its not okay and i have something seriously wrong with me :(
Is it just anxiety thats the issue? can anybody relate?
Please anybody?
thankyou
