I need to try this cranberry juice though.
Or just ride it out.
don't masturbate empty stomach or after large intake of water, especially empty stomach. Well sometimes even this don't work. but it does reduce the probability.
After going through this problem a few times, body starts to give weird feelings or rather instincts, as in will it be painful later or not, try to get them right it will reduce it to as good as zero as long as you have control.
Just wanted to add my experience :
30 yo old male, healthy, very mildly overweight, 6ft 200lb.
Straight, sexually active from late teens-current, no current or former stds (tested twice), no uti history.
Current drinker and marijuana smoker ('socially') very mild use between 18-22 of party drugs, ex cigarette smoker 16-26yo, no known allergies or notable health issues currently or in the past.
Average unremarkable genitals and I typically last 4-10 mins, averaging 6 mins. Sex or masturbate nearly daily from puberty.
recall this beginning at around 21 yo.
I was sexually active with two female partners prior to this, the onset of the 'condition' (known to me as 'painful piss' or PP - 'uhoh babe, painful piss, noooooooooooo') was approximately 1 year into my sexually active realtionship with female #2 and has continued more or less the same in frequency and duration to this day.
It is very strongly linked to alcohol consumption. I have experienced it a handful of times sober over my life. I have experienced (rarely) after use of codiene. I do not recall any other link that I could ever identify and trust me - I've looked.
I've experimented with my wife to great extent and never got to solid of link beyond 'alcohol'. (bj, sex, masturbate, full bladder, empty bladder, very drunk, tipsy, beer, spirits, wine, mixed etc etc seriously if you can think of it I have tried it multiple times drunk to try get a 'baseline' thousands of experience and no clue)
It is not a guarantee, but the best i have is : the longer I drink prior to sex the slightly more likely PP is, but anywhere from 4 standard drinks on leaves me at a 50/50 if I ejaculate, it is a very small percentage more likely from masturbation.. No amount of water or mixing of beverage types changes the duration or severity, and has no noticable effect on likelyhood.
My 'symptoms' are - somehow a foreboding sense of it happening within 5 seconds of ejac. I for some reason squeeze semen out as forcefully as possible from the base of the tip as some from of an instinctive prevention tactic after ejav, I sincerely doubt it helps or hinders. Peeing before, after, during, 1 hr before or after etc etc changes nothing. The overwhelming strong urge to pee originates quickly some between the tip and halfway on my penis, which stays semi erect for the duration of my PP.
The urge is location based and is somehow melded with the pain. The pain is somehow the urge at the same time. it is sharp and cutting like an acidic burn and is bizaarely entirely consuming of your thoughts but not above approximately 5-6 on my pain scale... I have some very serious laceration experience (80 stitches) to judge against my '10' for pain.
Urinating provides instant relief that ranges from mild to major, and is not relative to hydration. yellow or clear and from consuming water or alchol is irrelavant to the level or relief. The relief is incredibly short lived and I believe the pain is worse after, but only due to comparison. It leaves you desperately needing to perform a piss you are terrified of. It can last anywhere from 30 mins to 3 hours.
I cannot come up with a solution beyond ibuprofen and crouching on haunches in a warm shower pissing (sorry honey XD) every single dribble out til pain subsides. Stronger pain relief is unaffective (tramadol, codiene), as are the 20000 other stupid things I have tried (including right up to irrigating my urethra with a syringe and saline once!). Pressure between your balls and arsehole provide temporary relief (similar to squeezing muscle between thumb and forefinger for headachea) but it is mild relief, not at all lasting, painful in it own way after a few minutes.
There is no solid predictor except for 4 standard drinks and ejaculation. There is no remedy I have discovered beyond hot water, bladder emptying and ibuprofen with patience.
Please dont say std or infection. Tested for both multiple times in aust medical system. First occurred during long term relations with a girl, that while it is possible she cheated on me, no std's were found when we got worried and tested BOTH of us. My best guess is some bizaare thing like a 'air lock' backfeed or vacuum somewhere in plumbing, a direct chemical or allergic reaction from something in alcohol, or some muscle cramping or spasming of some sort related to depressant like alcohol.
n.b. I noticed in a post in this thread a guy mentioned an occasional 'ghost pain' in the ball/ arsehole area that happens very occasionally for a few minutes then goes away, no sex, no erection, no peeing. just boom, all of a sudden mild phantom pain then boom nothing. Yes I have experiences this maybe 8 times in my life
