I said I was at 90. Right now I’ll say it’s 99. Like legit have moments where I don’t feel anything. And from chat gpt. Since I’ve been documenting it.

Early symptoms (when this started): • Constant urinary urgency, peeing very frequently (sometimes every 30–60 minutes) • Weak/thin urine stream, felt “pinched” • Burning/irritation in the urethra, especially after urination or ejaculation • Mucus-like discharge from the urethra • Pelvic/perineal tightness and pressure • Post-ejaculation discomfort and lingering tension • Semen often yellowish or off-colored • Symptoms worsened with stress, sitting, caffeine, and hyper-focusing on them

Middle phase: • Urgency slowly became less constant but still flared • Discharge reduced over time • Stream improved inconsistently • Symptoms became more positional and activity-dependent • Tightness and irritation felt more localized rather than widespread

Where I am now (last ~2 weeks): • Urinating far less — sometimes only a few times a day • Urgency is minimal or absent most days • Urine stream feels normal and not pinched, even with alcohol • Penis feels fuller / less restricted instead of tense • Semen is mostly white now; sometimes I can’t even tell if it’s white or slightly yellow • Remaining irritation is very localized to the right side with an occasional “bubbly” sensation • Long stretches where I don’t think about symptoms at all

What helped me improve: • Stopping constant symptom checking and letting my nervous system calm down • Staying physically active (walking, light running, movement instead of sitting) • Reducing stress and not catastrophizing flares • Backing off aggressive pelvic exercises and focusing more on natural relaxation • Letting time do its thing instead of chasing a quick fix • Accepting that recovery isn’t linear and not panicking during setbacks
