Smoking and the inability to urinate

[kshchrn831]

I have experienced similar problems from time to time, and I think this is a part of the problem.

Through out most of my life, I think that a lot of the times that I would piss, I would be putting pressure behind my stream to help push it out quicker or something?

Well, I think if you have done something similar, you've built a tolerance to patience, and muscle relaxation..

So, maybe our bladder is used to working out while it is pissing? It's not used to just flowing freely and effortlessly..

So, from now on try to almost meditate while pissing on using no muscles, and keeping a comfortable pissing process. Because I can imagine being frustrated not getting any urine out as fast as you would want to, so you kind of try to push it out, but try to just be as normal and natural and relaxed as possible.

hey guys, first time poster I googled this exact problem and came across this message board.

I have been smoking for quite some time, but never a heavy smoker, if I have on me, i'll smoke daily, but only once a day, usually at night before I go to sleep. I've smoked for a good year or two without any negative side effects physically.

For the past 3-4 months or so whenever I smoked I felt alot of pressure build up in my groin area and the urge to pee often. I would go and pee (it would often take a while to get myself going) but eventually it would come out and i end up going multiple times an hour. eventually, the urge went away.

about 3 weeks ago, I smoked, and as usual for the past few months, the urge was there. I peed a few times and afterwards the urge/pain became worse. Along with feeling like I had to pee constantly, it began a sharp pain/sensation. The urine coming out was very white-ish and cloudyish

The pain did not go away for a few days. For streches of time, I was going to the bathroom every 10 minutes I told some family about it and they said I probably have a UTI. I called up a urologist for an appointment but he couldnt see me for a bunch of weeks. However, they gave me a prescription for "bactrim" and had me take a urine test (thy never called me about results).

Anyway, I took the antibiotics for 10 days and the pain subsided and I felt better. I did NOT smoke during this time. That leads me to earlier tonight where I smoked for the first time since. I took but 2 hits from my pipe, and the urge/pain came soaring back. I am running to the bathroom every 10 minutes now (same white-cloudy urine), and am in extreme discomfort its almost 5am and I can't sleep.

Obviously I will try and see a doctor as soon as possible, but it its early sunday morning (super bowl sunday!) and I know I won't be able to see one in the immediate future. Anyone have any advice/suggestions for me?

I never knew smoking marijuana caused UTIs...I have so many friends who smoke and none of them suffer from this problem...There has to be something else wrong with me, and weed is just somehow triggering it, right?

Also, any techniques of how to subside the pain would be greatly appreciated


Thanks guys.

Read about these, I'm willing to bet one of these is the problem. Tell your doctor that it worsens when you smoke. He won't care. Hope this helps dude, good luck! :thumbsup:

For me, its sometimes hard to urinate while stoned, even if i really have to go. I figured that it was all mental, as when im really stoned, it reminds me of dreaming, so i figure that my mind doesnt want to let the flow go because it thinks i might be peeing myself. It takes some concentration, but i just try to slow my heart rate/take deep breaths, and just try to relax.

So like someone already mentioned, maybe it could be mental?..and yeah, stressing about it doesn't help either. Like when you masturbate and worry too much about cumming, you'll probably cum right away, right? :P

Its impossible for me to pee when I'm baked... hahaha glad I'm not alone.

see a doctor for a prostate exam,DON'T listen to the macho men who refuse to "let anyone stick anything up their bungholes".Ask family elders if any prostate problems exist,it can be inhairited through genes-not to be confused with jeans.LOL good luck Bud.............:rasta::jointsmile::rasta:
