It started as something random, but then it became a pattern. For months, I was dealing with constipation, a weak stream, and the constant feeling that I hadn't fully emptied my bladder. Those 2am wake-ups to go to the toilet, followed by an hour of staring at the ceiling, it was slowly killing me.
I blamed work. But stress doesn't have you up four, five times a night, standing in the bathroom at 4am, wondering if this is just how it's going to be from now on.
So one night, half asleep, I ended up down a Reddit rabbit hole, typing in symptoms I was almost embarrassed to search for.
That's when I found a thread full of guys describing exactly what I was going through.
