Urination Frequency

[Ligers]

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum, and to much of the terminology involved.

I've always had an issue of frequent urination (about every 80 minutes). I'd use porn typically twice a day, more on weekends (5+ a day), but have recently begun abstaining from PMO.

I'm on day 6 of a reboot now. To be honest I feel reasonable enough mood-wise, zero morning wood, and very little libido.....however I'm taking a long-term view that this will improve.

My biggest problem is having to piss so often! I need to go every half hour or so.

I'm curious if this is a common issue for people, and if it subsides for most people over time? Additionally should I also expect semen leakage in faeces and urine to reduce?

I'm concerned that I may have done irreparable damage to my body functions and these issues could be permanent. I'd like to get the views of you guys in advance of seeing a doctor about it (I realise how that sounds).

I would see a doctor.  This could be a problem unrelated to porn-use.  Possibly an over-active bladder or a urinary tract infection.

Regarding urgency, I notice a similar increase in needing to go when I get a few weeks into a reboot attempt. I think the fact the prostate is normally fapped into numbness means it comes alive again. I figure it will normalise once it gets used to less action.

You will get lots of people urging you to go to a doctor and I would suggest this also. They will check everything out and find if there are any underlying causes. I have been to the doctor about this and she gave me the all clear on UTIs or STIs... no other issues present, so I assume it is the change in ejaculation frequency that needs adjusting to.

It will go away. Just stay strong. I had same situation and I went to urination test. Everything was ok. But if you want you can visit doctor.

I had the same issue for awhile and it resolved itself with abstinence.

Do you still masturbate, if so do you edge? I'm confident Edging is what caused my issues

I have had the exact same issue!
Yet I felt relieved every time I had to pee, it lasted about ? 3 weeks for me to slowly disappear again.
Do not be afraid of this, it's completely normal and more guys have been experiencing this including myself as I stated.

Thanks guys.....it's good to hear the anecdotes of others.

I've completed abstained from any stimulation in the last 6 days besides a few strokes in a state a semi-consciousness yesterday morning which freaked me out (my own I may add ha!).

From what I've seen on these forums there is a real sense of support on show, I hope I can contribute similarly.

I'm glad we can help and support you!
Even the tiniest things can be a support for others, read a journal, write your own journal or comment on a journal by supporting them or telling them what you experienced what may has some similarities.
If I may suggest, try reading the e-book which you can find on www.yourbrainonporn.com (Or just read a lot of articles).
Besides that you will gain a lot of knowledge on the subject, it can also give you a lot of motivation so you know even better why you're doing this and with that knowledge you can also support others and yourself!

Keep up the good work buddy, you can do it!

Ligers,

Always go to a doc, I did and got a clean bill of health.  There are a lot of nerves running through your pelvis.  When you MO a lot especially to porn, that area becomes hyperactive or hyper tonic.  As we heal whatever nerves that were running hot begin to relieve.  It is important to know that as a nreve heals it does exactly what it does when it is pinche or hyperactive in reverse.  I knw it's hard to understand but the frwuency is normal and temporary.  You will see even the 2-3 times overnight pissing sometimes 4 times will go bck to just once or even none until you wake up.  I have been there buddy, hang in there.

Thanks for your post Ligers as I'm in a similar situation. Going to see the urologist next week to get things checked out just in case. Do you or anyone else feel as if your prostate is a bit swollen as well? When I sit down I feel more pressure there and its really uncomfortable. Just thought I'd ask.
Thanks

I think that's a good thing to ask because it does not sound familiar with me.
