when i pee something weird happens

[xfer]

ok so

like most people, i wake up, get out of bed, and pee immediately.

then i get into the shower.

then i do all my toiletry stuff, go to my room, get dressed, and go to work.

but over the past month or two, things have been different.

i wake up

get out of bed

pee

get in the shower

get out of the shower

pee again

brush my teeth, etc, and continue as normal.

so, i don't get it. the first time i pee, i seem to be completely done. satiated and all that. but once i get out of the shower, i have to go again!

wtg. does this mean i have bladder cancer or something? or am i just aging?

 

[minxnim]

it could be 1:100 harmless things. don't worry about it.

 

[azal]

I do that..but it's because I need to drink a cup of coffee as soon as I wake up so that I can actually shower myself correctly.



maybe you shower with your mouth open and drink alot of water.



or maybe, yeah, bladder cancer.

 

[xfer]

haha i was wondering who would suggest that i was drinking the shower water.

ok, i'm not really worried so much. but confused. like, does the pee re-create in my bladder during my ten-minute shower? or am i for some reason unable to empty the bladder completely?

 

[minxnim]

probably the transitional tissue which senses and makes you feel like you have to pee dulls out a little because there's more pee in there than usual. so it says 'no more pee' when it usually does but there's really a little left in there.

you probably drink a little more fluids than you used to or else you're sodium balance is slightly off.

 

[xfer]

aha, that sounds like a good explanation!

actually, yeah, i started drinking a lot more water, especially at night now.

this thread is now closed.

 

[azal]

I also pee while showering.

 

[xfer]

at least you won't have athlete's foot? nevertheless, gross.

it wouldn't hurt to get a prostate exam. my brother was under thirty when he developed prostate problems.

 

[xfer]

i don't really have the desire to play prison-guard-and-inmate with my doctor, though. unless it's reallllly necessary.

 

[minxnim]

alex dont you get a physical once a year anyway? i mean, if not, you should. but i wouldnt worry.

it's the extra water at night.

 

[xfer]

i do, but it usually doesn't involve long probing fingers!

 

[lizard]

prostate exams generally only become part of an annual physical after age 40, or if certain symptoms are reported. it is kind of invasive but considering the potential damage...

 

[azal]

greg will give you a prostate exam for free.

WITH HIS TONGUE

 

[minxnim]

you'd have incessant frequent needs to pee and probably a lot of urgency and maybe even a little leakage if you had prostate problems at your age alex. i wouldnt worry about it.

 

[xfer]

[lizard]

xfer don't worry "leakage" need not interfere with your leading a relatively normal life.

Where "relatively normal" includes possible diaper rash.
