Urination during prostate exam?

The first time I had a prostate exam/DRE I was a teen and I was definitely not expecting it. The thing about it I remember the most was the sudden and immediate urge to urinate. It was more than a little scary because I was already nervous and embarrassed and I literally thought I was going to involuntarily pee on the exam table below. Makes total sense when you look at medical illustrations and see that the prostate is right next to the bladder and if the bladder is full... Has anyone ever leaked during a DRE?

Never had any actual leakage, but have definitely felt the urge to go.

The urgency is even greater during long, drawn out prostate exams and insertions with a play doc.

The feeling of a need to pee is usual when receiving a prostate exam or massage. Lots of inter-related nerve and muscle relationships in that part of a man's anatomy. My enema partner will sometimes conclude a long enema cleansing session with a prostate massage accompanied by oral sex. The need to urinate sensation is usually there at first, but it quickly subsides and is replaced by an intense, prolonged pleasure that builds slowly to a gut-clinching orgasm.

During my first one. Dr just kept on pressing and I couldn't stop.

From the two prostate exams I've had, really haven't felt like I needed to pee. Well maybe that'll change for my yearly prostate exam in july

Like @tingue77, while i felt the urge to pee during my first dre - since then i guess i know what to expect, so i don't experience it.

The prostate neighbors the bladder so it makes sense. I’ve always felt a sudden need to urinate during a prostate exam but thankfully, never lost control

Never leaked urine but I have had a medical prostate massage to examine the prostate fluid. It’s quite the unnerving feeling being completely helpless to what’s happening down there.

You will not pee durning a prostate exam. What happens is when the doctor applies pressure to the prostate, prostatic fluid starts to move out of the prostate and into the urethra, with continued pressure more and more prostatic fluid is expressed from the prostate and moves down the urethra to present at the opening of the penis. Feeling the fluid moving down the urethra gives the sensation that you are going to pee. When I have a patient tell me he is going to pee I explain to him what is going on and assure him HE WILL NOT PEE. They usually say something like "ok, but it sure feels like I'm going to pee".

@drmyk2 thank you, I was unaware of this. I assume that this seminal vessel fluid is tied to “male squirting” that I’ve heard of. The human body is amazing.

I've never had that feeling during any of the prostate exams I've received.

I usually don't leak. But a couple of year ago I had a doctor that was not wanting to do it. So I told him to do it. He was in there longer and pressed harder than other doctors so with that one, I did dribble per-seminal / prostate fluid. I looked down and saw it dribble out on the floor. I use standing , bent over the edge of the exam table. I couldn't help to comment. I said "oops, I dribbled and he calmly answered back, "that's normal".. He really did it like he meant it.

I also do always have the feeling I need to urinate when my prostate is palpated. I never did and it is over when the exam is finished. But what is always happening is that there is prostata fluid coming out of my penis. This is quite a lot then and the paper on the exam table has always a large wet spot then. My doctor says it is pretty normal.

Anyway for me it is always embarassing.

I have never had a prostate exam however I know exactly the feeling you describe. Through anal exploration and enema play I have felt the same need to pee.

I also find that excessive masturbation etc can induce a feeling needing to pee, and I have been told by medically minded (and qualified) friends that prostatitis is a likely cause.

@Lee_M ... love it when a man leaks during a prostate exam! 🔥

I ooze pre-cum during just about every genital exam and DRE, but I have not yet leaked any urine. My prostate is enlarging to the point where that might be possible (unlikely in any event) but my bladder is usually at least partly empty from providing a urine sample by the time I get to these exams. Fun to think about, though, naughty/embarrassing fluid leaks are very sexy to me! 😉

Not during a prostate exam but had a ct scan with contrast and when it goes in through the iv your grion area gets warm and you feel like you are peeing.

Like a few others have stated, i felt the need to pee during my first dre, but didn't. i don't remember having that same feeling in my subsequent exams.
