weeing after sex??

I've wanted to know the answer to this for years but have been too embarassed to ask anyone. I thought since I had my name change on I would!

Straight after sex, it's very, very hard to wee! Feels like I can't push it out!

This has been the case for me ever since I started having sex or any kind of sexual activity so it's nothing new!

Is it normal? Anyone else have the same?
After about hour (ish) I can wee again fine!!

Any explanation?
TIA

I have no idea. I'm just being nosey and reading your OP. One of the experts will be along in a moment hopefully to put your mind at rest.

probably everything is swollen from blood flow so it constricts the urethra. do you get UTI's though if you don't wee straight after sex? i know i often do (which was a pain while ttc- and not wanting to let anything dribble out!)

hiddeninthegarden · 18/07/2009 10:49

no UTI's nope. I do try and wee straight after sex but I can't!!

Feels like everything is pulled up or something. Has been this way even before I had DCs so I can't even say giving birth has caused it.

No pain or anything, just can't wee. After about an hour it all goes back to normal!!

I think it's quite normal. I am the same, as i feel like i need to go (with all the jiggling ) but find it difficult. Try pressure on your bladder, i find that helps.

Unrelated i'm sure but i can never go after a general anesthetic, and have to have a catheter put in.

i would say dont try and force it then- wee can also have a psychological component so the more you try and wee sometimes the harder it is to let the muscle go.

so long as you aren't getting uti's i wouldnt worry too much about it. i have period pain on orgasm after sex in my luteal phase of my cycle- asked the doc about it- they had no clue- i think sometimes bodies just like to do weird things after sex!

me either alicecrail!

Is it after orgasm? I am the same, I just leave in a little while then relax when I do go.

hiddeninthegarden · 18/07/2009 11:03

Always after orgasm. Even if we don't have sex and he gives me an orgasm, the same thing happens.

Atleast I know i'm not the only one!

I am the same. I try to go but cant so go back to bed or back too the tv or whatever and after 30 mins or so I can go again. I thought it was just me

Isn't there a natural switch off thing to stop you weeing everywhere when you have an orgasm? I am sure I've read it or heard that somewhere. I get the same thing, it isn't anything to worry about.

perfectly normal.

Wilts · 18/07/2009 13:16

Same here as well

hiddeninthegarden · 18/07/2009 13:36

Thank-you everyone for putting my worry at rest
