Seriously, it feels like the pressure is lower, even if I’ve been holding it in or I’ve been drinking and I need to empty out a good amount. It just doesn’t feel as good or as relieving as it used to. This was a lot worse during the short time I was on fin though.
Could this be a symptom?
Yes, of course. Your prostate is trying to return to normal, after being f—ed up by Finasteride, and so most of your symptoms are probably directly related to prostate problems. Watch what you eat and drink. And if the problem persists you may want to try a little Saw Palmetto which is good for prostate health, and flow.
I have this same symptom. I have a lower pressure stream and a lot of times I feel like it takes me more pumps than normal to finish off
I have the same issue. I also notice that I sometimes will dribble a bit in my shorts because I put it away to quickly when I feel like I am finished.
Exactly! Check out my thread on Musclechatroom…

I have my prostate checked regularly and my Family doc tells me I have a prostate of a 20 yr old. I seen a urologist yesterday and he told me it was fine/small. I would imagine it is like this from taking the finasteride for many years.
I also have urgency and frequency issues with urination and I dont drink above average fluid consumption,nor do I drink any caffeine or diuretic types of liquids.
I have to focus and push with PC muscle to start flow.It doesn’t just flow by relaxing,also it seems as if I dont fully empty.I have to go every 2 hours and in the range of 8-10 times/day.
The urologist is sending me for urodynamic analysis to see if I have an issue with detrusor hyperactivity.
Can a small prostate be a cause of this? What else may cause this?
I’m aware that neurogenic DH is common in diseases like MS and Parkinson’s. I have some slight hyposensities/susseptability in my Substantia Nigra bi-laterally as seen in my latest MRI from May/2008.This may have been trigered from trauma I went through(Car accident) and then escalated from oxidative stress from the destruction of dopamanergic neurons in the Nigra.The hemosiderin could lead to free radical damage and iron storage.
I am doing chelation with Calcium EDTA,L-Cysteine and N-A-C and taking vitamin E as well.
I am taking a balanced formulation to increase my precursor amino acids.It’s Neroreplete.
I haven’t started any dopaminergic drug yet,as my neurologist tells me I dont have any symptoms of PD even though I have been experiencing fatigue,slowness,sleeping problems and slight tremor in the right arm and legs that gets worse from lack of sleep and physical exertion/exercise.
I also have low libido which of course could also be from finasteride and a hormonal imbalance and erectile difficulties.
Does anyone know if the small prostate or coming off the finasteride can cause this? Thanks in advance.
I also have this poor power behind the stream when urinating, presumably the prostate is the cause. Is quercetin or anything else helpful for it.
I’ve got the same thing but it fluxuates. It did return to normal for a period of about a week earlier this year so I would not think the prostate is damaged though it may be a little smaller. I think it has more to do with the muscle strength in it. This is the problem overall in my body, I don’t build muscle and they are soft. Whatever causes the muscles to be hard and strong is just a balance of something in our system. It literally went from feeling like this to pissing like a racehorse in 3 days. Held like that for a week before tapering off. I don’t think the prostate increased massively in size during that time though it might have swelled up.
On a related note, I find that my entire body does not swell like it used to, it’s all sunken in where the muscles should be bulging…
It’s ALL related
The bladder is one big muscle. Loss of bodily muscle elasticity = loss of bladder elasticity. Which means it may not get as large as it used to and it flex to empty like it should. The prostate is not the only reason for these urinary problems.
I doubt anyone is interested in messing with their prostates any further after Finasteride, ie flomax.
Just another wonderful suggestion from this poster. Toxic flomax to further destroy their prostate. Good one.
Yea it’s an alpha blocker of smooth muscle – IN THE PROSTATE.

My point is, it’s unlikely anyone around here is interested in messing with ANYTHING prostate-related, in any capacity, hormonal or not, after the damage Finasteride has caused.
Honestly, your arrogance is starting to annoy peple around here, self included. I’ve already warned you a few times about your behaviour due to previous outbursts, and this will be the last time I do so.
interesting… i have this too whenever i piss it doesn’t feel as good compared to before and at the end the piss just dribbles out all over the place
I actually can’t feel the urine bypassing the tip of my penis at times now, it’s as if I’m numb to the feeling.
Yeah I’ve got this now too. Only took the crap for two weeks. Now six weeks off.
Takes much more of an effort to get it out… feels like somebody is stepping on the water hose, which goes along with the overall narrowing of my penis. I also dribble and have difficulty getting it all out at the end.
I have this too. low pressure and more often…in fact it feels like there’s no pressure behind it at all…just gravity. I can’t ‘direct the stream’ like the pre-fin days.
Yep, another side I didn’t notice.
Has anybody seen any improvement of this side? I’ve got this really bad now. It takes a good 30-40 seconds to get started, the stream is extremely weak, and I’m not able to completely empty my bladder.
Check out the thread I just started entitled ‘the broccoli treatment’. I just started [the treatment], but so far, I’ve had results.
This may sound kind of weird to you people, but with me its the exact opposite… I actually pee less frequently… and I don’t have an urge to do so in the morning as much as I used to… Prior to Fin, I used to have a nice long yellow pee in the morning. Now I don’t as much… This could be because I do not work out as much and do not consume as much protein, or there is something else causing it… The only reason I put some input on this thread is because this morning my stream was real weak and kinda died out after 10 seconds… IDK if this is a fluke or what, but I did masturbate twice yesterday once mid-day and once before I went to bed. My semen was also kinda yellowy, but not neon or something crazy… I believe yellow semen indicates an inflamed prostate. And about 30 minutes after i masturbated at night, i got this weird pain shoot through my penis… Not really painful or anything, almost like a stinging but not really… (Not a UTI feeling) this was different. I got up and walked around for about 30 seconds, and it went away… IDK what to make of it. do you think I’m just being paranoid or what? Definitely something is off though…
