LEAKING URINE DURING CLIMAX

Climacturia after prostatectomy is relatively common, impacting 23% of men. But many are unprepared and concerned about what it means to pee during intercourse. If you haven’t had a prostatectomy but are still peeing during sex, is there something wrong?

In this video, I give you the juice on climacturia, a condition that causes an involuntary release of urine during climax. In addition to surgeries like prostatectomy or TURP, I’ll share which medications can impact your sexual function, leading to similar concerns.

If you’re experiencing bladder leakage during sex or orgasm, there are many strategies you can try to regain control and enjoy sex without the worry. Try emptying your bladder before sex or consider using a condom or a penile constriction loop to keep things in check. Building up your pelvic muscle coordination and endurance through climacturia pelvic floor training can be another game changer. In some cases, surgical procedures like an artificial urethral sphincter or urethral sling can also be beneficial.
