Question concerning prostate leakage

Post by faceinthecrowd »

Hi all. Prostate leakage is common with this disease, right? Can you tell me if this is possible: If my prostate were leaking, could it sort of fool my system into thinking I had to urinate? When the prostate fluid enters the urethra, maybe my body confuses that with urine, wants to flush it out of the urethra, and singals the bladder to contract? I'm trying to find some explanation for my near constant need to urinate. Thanks.

I don't think so - I believe the constant need to urinate is all tied into muscle disorder and not driven by any potential irritant.

For example, up to a week ago I had constant frequency feelings (since July last year) - but I've been treating a new triggerpoint this past week that has directly led to a significant decrease in my frequency symptoms (not sure how long it's going to last but it's a big step forward).

This ties into AlProsts experience, when his frequency feelings/symptoms were pretty much away after 3 PT sessions. Just depends if you're lucky in finding the triggerpoint(s) that is causing the symptoms.
