I mean sometimes this happens to me too if I apply too much pressure to my perineum (such as when sitting on a hard surface). It gives me the sensation of needing to pee without actually needing to pee. So it can happen even if your prostate is normal.

Wait...i should probably see a doctor, reading all this.

I don't want to, i'm too busy trying to get other shit in order.

It may not be that bad! You may just have an opioid addiction that can leave certain muscles unresponsive, making urination take an absurdly long time. #kratomlife

But still, get checked. Everyone needs to feel that cold figure eventually. Better safe than cancer. My family are like lab rats and two men that lived saintly lives compared to me died of cancer of the Everything out of the blue. Having reached middle age, I'm afraid I'm built like that too.

Prostate check is usually a blood test now. They apparently can just check for antigen levels.

As much as I can relate, there are some things I wish I'd checked even if everything else wasn't in order.
