External Sphincter (Urethra/Bladder)

I was wondering since the bladder neck sphincter and the internal sphincter of the bladder are under sympathetic autonomic control and contract during the collection of urine before the need to pee, does the external sphincter remain consciously contracted?

Or even better, does the external sphincter remain contracted consciously until we decided to release our urine, or does it only consciously contract when the urine reflex (bladder contraction etc) is initiated? Thanks!

TIL the male urethra produces a spiral stream of urine that has the effect of cleaning the external urethral meatus (Where the urine exits the body). The lack of an equivalent mechanism in the female urethra partly explains why urinary tract infections occur so much more frequently in females. en.wikipedia.org/w/index.…

TIL that males and females finish urination differently. Specifically, males contract a muscle called the bulbospongiosus several times to empty the urethra, whereas the female urethra is emptied by gravity, and females do not use this muscle to 'squeeze' out the urine like males do. wikidoc.org/index.php/Uri…

Does the external urethral sphincter have tone issues? Is botox ever used in that muscle?

Always hear of the rest of the levator ani, but never the UES. Not sure if theres a reason why its bad idea.

Muscle in the entrance between the urethra and vagina feels like a bone. Will this get softer overtime with continued effort of healing? Or it will just be moved upward hence, more space for a bigger hole?

Do you have this too?? For me, this is the one that makes mine very tight and if i will be able to soften it, i think i would be able to do piv bc my hole right now is so small bc of that hard muscle since it's located kinda below of my vagina. I keep on stretching this and the other edges for days but it still feels like a bone. Will this get softer overtime with continued dilation, stretching, and relaxation? Or it will just be moved on the upper area which gives more space for a bigger hole? Im curious and i just wanna understand how it works, how it would look like, and what will happen when that tightness is overcome πŸ˜„

Overractive bladder months after wisdom tooth removal (after tons of painkillers, laxatives, anatacids) and feeling of pressure/something solid in my guts, random sharp pains around the center of my pelvic area, close to my urethra and sphincter.

Male, 30, white, 6'0, 160 lbs, very physically active, no drugs, no alcohol, mostly healthy food, water like 99% of the time

A few days after surgery in January 2018, I got constipated from the hydrocodone and tylenol. Used a few cheap laxatives like magnesium citrate, mineral oil, and a stool softener, and lots of water. First time it felt like minor diarrhea.

Then a few days later I tried the hydrocodone again. Way more constipated. Tried some more laxatives. I had severe diarrhea and had to pee and go diarrhea literally every few minutes for the next 15 hours. 15 long hours, and I felt constantly dehydrated so I couldn't just stop drinking water. And it felt like draino burned through my entire piping from my stomach to my butthole, everything in between felt burned. I thought I was going to die.

My dentist recommended I keep sipping pepto bismol and drink lots of water and wait it out.

Eventually it stopped, but my bladder and stuff never felt the same. Like if I sat, I could keep peeing little spurts of pee for like an hour if I just kept sitting there.

Then here and there, I'd just have to keep going all the time. And these random sharp pains I used to have a few times a year, the kind you just ignore cuz they happen for a split second then never happen again, got more frequent, like a few times a day. Then it would stop.

Here I am months later, and I've still got the same problems. I've been eating light, almost 100% vegan diet, rarely drink caffeine, but if I do it's watered down black coffee at work.

I feel like there's a mass of something in my intestines or bladder or somewhere. I don't feel like any stones are moving around, but sometimes it feels like it's on the verge of happening but doesn't. I can still sit and pee forever here and there. And now my overractive bladder is back. Everything I drink just wants to come out of me again.

I haven't been to a doctor at all since my dental surgery. I've been too afraid to hear any bad news and just hoped it would heal on its own.

I'm 30, live in California. What should I do? What tests will they need to do? Am I going to die? Do I have cancer, stones?

I'm going to see a doctor soon, but I'm hoping to get some reassurance. Or if it sounds bad... I'd rather read it here first and then try to prepare myself for the real news once I go and sit in the doctor's office...

3 months with symptoms of looseness/stretched/discomforting sensations from my external sphincter. Will it ever feel normal again?

About 3 months ago I over vigorously performed a prostate massage of my anus with a fairly large and thick toy, which resulted to a minor injury; rectum inflammation, 2 small fissures, feeling of fullness, and a stretched out/looseness feeling of my anus. It was my first time in a long time, I used a lot of lube, but definitely started off too big in size 6x2in thick. I still somehow managed to take it in without causing any pain or bleeding. I have remained abstinent down there ever since to help it heal and feel more normal.

Fast forward to 3 months later, I’m finally starting to feel less rectum inflammation discomfort, no more sharp pain-like and itching sensations from the two fissures i have. Theres new skin growing over the small tears that look and feel like they’re healing. However when i try to slide my finger in, it definitely feels like it’s less tight and goes in more easily.

I still have a lot of that looseness/stretched out feeling from my anus/external sphincter, especially after a bowel movement.

Should I give it more time and expect it to heal fully and feel more normal? I know part of it is in my head, but it definitely still feels discomforting. More so when i have my legs spread out, bending over, or after a bowel movement. No I don’t have any leaking issues when passing air and bowel movements. I do notice I have to wipe somewhat more after passing a stool like if some of it remains stuck in my rectum.

I’ve also looked into anal rejuvenation treatments/procedures to help with the looseness feeling and tighten my anus up a little more. Has anyone had or know anyone that has had an anal rejuvenation treatment/procedure done to them?

Any advice or help would be gratefully appreciated πŸ™‚

constant spasms and tightening of muscle that controls urethra and reduced muscle function of urinating/ejaculating

ive had muscle spasms in that area for years now followed by decreased range of motion of the muscle that controls urinating/ejaculating itself and reduced feeling in and around the penis/anus.. and cannot figure out how to reverse it and its destroying my life for years. its seemingly impossible to relax properly. im guessing maybe its because of a posture /back issue

Tempered Skins and CBBE muscle solution neck seam patch.

This fixes the normal map mismatch between the two mods by creating a gradient in neck region of TS face normals to CBBE normals. Simple.

How can I gain weight? I'm female, 23 years, I've always been skinny, too skinny I would say. I've always had a good appetite, I eat more than enough. I go to the gym to gain muscles and weight. But nothing helps. Because of that I have small boobs and a small bum. I'm 177 cm tall and weigh 50 kg.

What can you recommend me to do? Is it considered unattractive to most guys?

TIL the stringy colored part of your eye is a pigmented layer called the stroma. The stroma is a fiberious connection from the pupillary sphincter(a muscle in your eye) to the pupil(the black hole in your eye). This allows you to adjust the pupil radially, kinda like the aperture of a camera.
