20s / Male • 2024. 08. 14.
I am only in my 20s, but when I urinate, my prostate area feels hot and it doesn't feel like it's coming out clearly. Even after I finish, urine stays in the urethra and keeps coming out even after shaking. I'm embarrassed that this is happening to someone in their 20s, not their 40s or 50s, so I'm hesitant to go to the urology clinic, but I should go, right?... Also, it doesn't come out clearly during ejaculation, and it comes out with a stinging, burning sensation. I don't think it was like this before.

It must be very embarrassing and you might hesitate to visit a hospital since you're experiencing urination issues and discomfort during ejaculation at such a young age.
However, problems like prostate inflammation or decreased function are quite common even in men in their 20s. It's nothing to be ashamed of, so please try to stay calm.
The sensation of heat near the prostate area during urination, feeling residual urine, or feeling like urine is trapped at the end of the urethra can be signs of prostatitis. The stinging or burning sensation felt during ejaculation is also one of the reactions that occur when inflammation develops in the tissues around the prostate.
If not addressed promptly, it can progress chronically and decrease the quality of your daily life, so it is recommended that you visit a clinic.
Habits like sitting for long periods, excessive fatigue, and stress can adversely affect prostate health. Avoiding actions that put pressure on the perineum and taking warm sitz baths to relieve body tension can also be helpful.
Our urology clinic provides customized treatment plans by closely identifying each patient's symptoms and health status based on rich clinical experience at each branch.
Finding the cause is the first step toward treatment, so if uncomfortable symptoms persist, I encourage you to receive a urology consultation. I hope this answer was helpful. Thank you.
