Hello to the NG ;)

Please take a moment to read my story, and feel free to offer opinion,
advice, guidance etc

I'm 30, have never smoked, drink alcohol perhaps once every 3 weeks,
workout 4 times a week (both CV and weights, plus I play sports once
per week). My diet, is in my opinion, pretty damn good - I consume a
lot of fresh fish, chicken, vegetables and fruit. I avoid anything
"sweet" or "stodgy" like the plague and I drink a lot of green tea and
white tea.I also take daily omega 3-6-9 supplements and 3 grams of
arginine. I am not depressed nor stressed and very rarely have any
trouble sleeping.

Sounds good? well........

For around the last year, I've been experiencing problems with my
"equipment". Firstly, let me say my libido is still the same as before
(pretty high, though I was never a nympho!!). The main issue for me is
that I havent had a normal "happened for no reason" erection throughout
the day during this period, and very rarely over this period have I
woke in the morning with an erection. I have woken in the night (say
once per week) with an erection, and some mornings (maybe twice a week)
I have a "semi".

I am however, able to get a full, hard erection with my partner or by
myself. I have however noticed that it doesn't "stay" unless the
stimulation is constant.

I have also noticed that I often feel as though I need to urinate. This
can be as quickly as 30 minutes after my last urination. What is
strange with this issue though is that the feeling that I need to
urinate is always located right at the very bottom of my abdomen (just
above my pubic bone). When I do urinate, the volume is normal and the
stream is strong. However, the last, say, 5% always seems to get
"stuck" inside me and just trickles out very, very slowly. If I want to
stop the trickle I have to "push" the urine out with a squueze of my PC
muscle. On a few occasions, I have zipped up thinking I was finished
and a little bit (about 2%) has left me and obviously "wetted" my
underwear. I find this concerning. I do not wake up in the night
needing to urinate, but every morning when I do wake, the need to
urinate is "immense" and my bladder feels incredibly full (especially
just above the pubic bone). This happens whether or not I take a drink
before bed.

Now, I've tried Viagra well, "kamagra" to be precise, a few times (both
by myself and with my partner) and have to say, it works incredibly
well for me. It has always given me a seriously hard erection that just
"stays" even without manual stimulation. I can also report that for me,
it seems to far outperform the reported few hours "life", and can
"work" with me for up to 2 full days after taking it (strange in
itself!!).

I have also found that when I've taken Viagra before sleep, I always
wake in the night and in morning with a full erection (even if I've
ejaculated before going to sleep). I find this excellent as it feels
"like it should"!!

I am struggling to understand my lack of "natural" erections in the day
and mornings and this strange desire to urinate often.

Please advise me !

thank you all
Spike

They may be unrelated. The urination issue could be a low-level, chronic
prostatitis. That could be from a bacterial infection. Pressing on the
midline, just above the pubic bone often causes some discomfort. A digital
rectal palpation of the prostate will elicited that urge to urinate. When I
was about your age I had a few episodes of prostatitis that my physician
says were the result of being "seeded" from sinus infections. The symptoms
were similar to what you report. You are a bit young to be having prostate
enlargement.

I don't want to sound like the folks who tell you to expect to fall apart as
you grow older, but I don't think it is abnormal to stop having spontaneous
daytime erection once you are thirty-something.

I would get a prostate exam and have a urinalysis done as a first step. If
you do have an infection, make sure your physician keeps you on antibiotic
for a good while. It often takes at least 30 days to treat prostatitis.

Great advice! I'd emphasize that you aren't in your teens or early 20's
anymore and requiring stimulation to get or maintain an erection is
within the bell shaped curve.

If you make it past your physician to a Urologist, they can take a very
quick, non-invasive ultrasound of your bladder to see how much urine you
are retaining. You'll get the results as a pretty accurate percentage
and you'll be told what's normal.

I agree with Mr. Softy. I had a similar problem when I was 32, except
I did not have that much pain, just the dribbling problem and the need
for frequent urination, which I sometimes could not stop.

The medicine took about one week to cure the symptoms, so I took the
medicine about three weeks and quit. Two weeks later the symptoms
returned, and I was put back on the medicine and continued for two
months.

No re-occurrence until I was 59 and that one was very mild, cause I
sought help immediately. At 32, I was told that I had a prostate the
size of a normal 60 year old. Now at 66, the Uro says it is normal sized.

Get to a Uro, cause if left untreated, it will probably get worse. I
feel that denial caused me to delay seeking treatment, which greatly
compounded my problem.
