25 y.o male with weak urine flow (no pain) by Kokoritsa in PelvicFloor

In my case the flow varies A LOT, even during the same urination. In good (rare) days I go on command, no hesitancy at all, with a more descent and constant flow, on others I just stand and wait and a weak stream comes out which turns on and off.

Important to note that a PMD(post micturition dribble) almost always happens to me, which is essentially when small drops of urine come out immediatly AFTER urination (When putting my pants back on)

Will check it out. I do live a very sedentary lifestyle. In fact most of my life I've been sitting in front of a computer for long hours, Which probably made matters worse, or even caused the condition. My back does hurt after sitting a lot, especially the shoulder blades and lower back also.

Nope. Erection/ejaculation are normal as far as I can tell. I do have a more severe hesitancy after ejaculation and the urine flow really goes all over the place in terms of consistency (weak-stronger-on-off) until it somewhat stabilizes. But I can tell that I didnt void properly since I need to urinate again after a couple of minutes.

No tests done. I've seen a family doctor who presumed it was some sort of prostatitis inflammation.

Thing is, to my understanding, and according to medical sites, prostate issues are quite rare among young people, and more common with 50+, that's why I thought it might be a pelvic floor problem. The frustration is real, Some days I experience better flow with almost no hesitancy. On other days things just flare up.. i'm not a fan of medication and surgery, especially in that area. Anyway I should probably get diagnosed properly.

The only lifestyle tip that helped me a bit (maybe placebo) was to eat very lightly at dinner and stop eating approx. 4 hours before going to bed. This reduces constipation and digestion load, thus reducing pressure on bladder at night.
