How To Urinate if you have BXO

For decades, most of us probably use the same routine every time we go to the toilet. The concept is the same - go to a toilet, and empty your bladder into it.

But BXO is a sign that things down there aren't working quite the way they used to. Increasing amounts of research suggest BXO is a symptom of urine being in contact with penile skin. While the act of urination might be the same as it has always been, clearly the aftermath is not.

Post-urination dribble is the most likely culprit. If BXO is a consequence of urine being on the skin, then we need to modify our technique to reduce the chances that this might happen.

Here are some suggestions for reducing the extent of this problem:

Use Toilet Paper

After urination, toilet paper is essential to ensure that no drop of urine stays in contact with your penis.

Milk yourself

No... not 'that' kind. Milk as in milking a cow. This will help squeeze out any urine remaining in the urethra.

Pull your pants down

A common complaint among middle aged men is a dribble that hits after walking out of the toilet. To some extent, this can be controlled by ensuring the urine has a clear path down the urethra and out. If you wear trousers without a zip and/or underwear that doesn't unbutton, there's a good chance the top of the elastic band will press against the urethra. Even if it is behind the scrotum, it still inhibits the flow to an extent. We often associate the idea of a bare butt when urinating with something a young child would do, but if the clothing we wear doesn't help our bodies eliminate urine as we age, there might be a valid reason to go back to that habit.

Perform one final check

Once you have finished, after you slide your foreskin forward over the glans it's not uncommon to find an elusive last drip. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it may be because the skin is bunched up and slightly impedes the flow of urine through the urethra. Once you slide it forward, there are less wrinkles on the shaft, which opens the urethra enough for the last drips to come out. Clear them with toilet paper.

Be wary after long periods of not going

This might not be something that affects everyone, but I find that the longer I am forced to wait before going to the toilet, the slower my flow is to get started, and the more work it takes to get the final drops out. I also found those times were more likely to create significant dribble at the end.

Try sitting down when you pee

There is a lot of literature online (from reputable medical sources) suggesting that men should sit down when urinating, much like women do. It costs nothing to try (and in fact, if you live in a house full of females and the seat usually remains down, it's less effort).

As good as it gets (with pics)

I thought it was time I did an update with pictures. This is more or less what I have been looking like now for some time now. I think it's safe to say that what I have now is as good as it's going to get. Considering what I looked like when I started, I don't think it's bad going. Here's a list of all the issues I no longer have: Fully normal sexual function, without risk of injury Skin feels normal and supple to the touch, and has regained sensitivity Skin looks normal by and large, particularly on top No partner has ever commented that anything looks abnormal I feel 'normal' again But of course, it's not perfect. I've had to accept a few slight issues: A very small amount of itching sometimes occurs after sexual activity There are still some small areas of white skin I have to maintain dryness. I don't know this for a fact, but due to the slow progression of this disease, it's not something that is conducive to experimentat

Update on final cleanup

I've not been particularly diligent at using treatments these past few months. Apart from the occasional use of Tea Tree Oil, I haven't really been using anything. That being said, I am still noticing extremely but steady improvement on my glans. the place where I still have the worst covering of white BXO skin is on the base of the glans, where urine naturally gravitates toward after dribbling. This was probably the thickest covering all along. Measuring the progress of this late recovery is challenging. To measure how much white skin I have requires a reasonable amount of blood flow to my glans. Without that, there's little contrast between the different areas. But Tea Tree Oil tends to promote blood flow anyway, so it gives the impression that progress is happening faster than it perhaps is. I am trying to not to fixate over progress too much, and just focus on the basics - after urination, dry, dry, then dry some more. Even then, I will occasionally check to make su

BXO Healing Guide

After considerable time contemplating how I could best serve the world of BXO sufferers, I am pleased to finally bring you the BXO Recovery Plan . The plan is a step-by-step process detailing each of the stages in the healing process and what you should do along the way. Initially I contemplated making an eBook, but in the end I decided against this for several reasons. First, I'm not qualified in functional or natural medicine, and I didn't feel write publishing a book giving advice about this. Second, I don't want to reveal my identity. I don't know how feasible this is when publishing a resource and collecting income from it. But what finally helped me make my decision was this: You have all suffered and paid enough already. I know what it's like when you have BXO and you want it gone. You'd do almost anything to get rid of it. This often means spending money on yet another miracle cure. I didn't want to be 'yet another miracle cure'. The gu
