Prostate

Should I get my prostate checked, as I have been having trouble keeping an erection and lack of ejaculation only twice a month. I also urinate a lot and it tends to sometimes dribble as well.

I have those troubles kinda, I can get hard as hell but I can't ejaculate. I dribble is minimal in comparison to my difficulty urinating. My dr. stays part of my neuropathy.

@A myHIVteam Member Neither the Olanzapine and Genvoya has no side effects. Except the Olanzapine, which causes a decline in sexual ability and @A myHIVteam Member I see my doctor on the 30th and I will ask him to test me. @A myHIVteam Member thank you and I will get my prostate checked. Thank you to everyone who is helping me in this time. God bless you all. ❤

Yes Chris have your prostate checked I am having the same problem I just had a visit with my urologist in Charlottesville of course I had to set up on a table like a female giving birth but they were checking to see how much I could hold on til I could pee so they had to put this iodine and all this other stuff to see how long I could hold out til I pee I did okay but it's a pain in the butt though

I would get my PSA levels checked by your doctor and see. Also check all your medications you're taken for possible side effects. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving.
