very odd(and yuk) thing to ask but i need help

[wotcanisay]

sorry about this am a guy i need to ask this
how long is it meant to take to start to pee

it takes me 4-5 seconds for the urine to start to come out is this normal

[biscuitlover]

It takes my husband about the same time to pee, i always thought this was normal!

[Onwards & Upwards]

I would imagine it depends on how tense you are!? But then I don't have a "winkie" so what would I know! Ha ha! :blush:

[Rachel W]

I am a woman too, but I know that when my boyfriend goes it takes a while I am sure (you know the habit of guys just barging in and using the bathroom when you are trying to use the sink or something!)...

[Anxious_gal]

a few seconds seems normal, how fast I can pee depends on how relaxed I am!

i can't wait to monday when i can see my doctor i think i have prostate cancer

[Peter_Scott]

OP prostate cancer at your age is almost unheard of so put that one out of your mind. It is most likely anxiety, but the prostate or track can get infected even at your age, but see your doctor if you are worried as it is easy to treat, Peter

[wotcanisay]

thank you, peter.
i just can't get what if out my mind.
if i go to my doctor what thing's his he likely to do?

[Peter_Scott]

OP, I would give yourself a bit of time to see if things improve. The doctor will most likely think you have nothing to worry about and do nothing. But then again if he does and he suspects your prostate he will most likely do the following. A rectal finger exam in his office, this is not painful but can be uncomfortable, he uses a gloved finger to feel your prostate, it should be firm and smooth. If is not he will draw bloods, including PSA, this will indicate if more tests need doing or you need referring to a hospital specialist, it is only then you may start worrying.

I am by no means medical but I have had the tests mentioned, because like you I have health anxiety, personally I think you will be fine and it will pass,

Peter

thank you
the way i past water has always been odd(but now i can't stop thinking about it)
from what i can tell i not past any blood
i had blood test done in march so am sure if something was a miss it would have show up

when i was young i was badly beated up and was punched in my private area a good 4 or 5 times

[wotcanisay]

:( sorry just can't get my head of it

[wotcanisay]

one thing i should have added i drink a lot of coke about 4 littles

[Peter_Scott]

OP imho you would be best off to see your doctor I think it is the only way to put your mind at rest. Make sure you tell them exactly what you are worried about, if you are like many of us we go with a list of symptoms and hope the doc will put two and two together, much better just to tell them what is on your mind and ask them to test you (simple test for PC) then you can rest easy.

You mentioned that you may have injured yourself when you where young, you would not have injured your prostrate as it is situated well out of harms way and even the hardest blow would not have done any harm, so you can forget that one.

Try to flood your mind with something that takes up all your thoughts that you do not have the time to worry about this, it may just do the trick, Peter

I am a woman, but I did go through a phase of worrying about 'hesitiency' when urinating (I am a urine worry freak!) and I honestly think that peeing is one of those things that is sooooo affected by stress, once you start to think about how long it takes you to go, it WILL take you longer and longer because you have to unconsiously relax certainmuscles in order to release the urine and once you become conscious of them that process can't happen as quickly. I hope you get the reassurance you need from your doctor and from here.

[wotcanisay]

thank you cat and peter.

think i go to doctors on monday, just hope i get one i like.
just can't get my mind off it. when try do something, my mind saying what if.
