I’m imagining it’s prostate related, but does anyone see their penis shrink drastically while urinating? Any insight into what specifically might cause this?
That happend to me also.
For me any bowel movement is big trouble for shrinkage. I did not have this before fin and I agree it is prostrate related.
Alpha blockers seem to be the answer for temporary relief.
The need to urinate or pass stool makes me penis shrink, crinkle up and go extremely pale. Before crashing after quitting finasteride, these two things would actually give me an erection.
The prostate or pelvic floor definitely have something to do with this, I’m sure.
Is it common for men in general to get erections from urinating/defecating? I’ve had the exact same experience pre and post finasteride.
Yes, for some and for most not. This has something to do with the stimulation of the prostate.
Damn, I want my prostate to be NATURALLY stimulated again then. No gay jokes please. But seriously, that was the best. I would have to use the restroom and then would be ready to go. I hate this. I hate remembering that used to be how I functioned. And I hate that we’re not getting any updates on the studies being done!!
