My dad has been dealing with back pain for several months, maybe even a year, and now he says it's getting worse. He had prostate surgery back in July 2021 could the pain be related to that or is it something else?

I've got this painful issue that started this morning. So, I went to pee, and I sneezed at the same time without realizing it. Immediately, I felt this intense pain, like I might've stretched something in my urethra, but there's no bleeding. Now, whenever I try to pee, it really hurts at first. Oddly, if I pee slowly and let out just a little at a time, the pain isn't as bad. I'm 24, and I've never had any major health problems before. What could be going on here?
The sudden pain while urinating, especially after sneezing, may indicate a possible urethral strain or irritation. Since you're experiencing pain while peeing, especially at the beginning, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance. Possible Causes 1. Urethral strain or irritation 2. Urinary tract infection (UTI) 3. Urethral spasms 4. Pelvic floor muscle strain Next Steps 1. Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a urologist. 2. Provide detailed information about your symptoms, including the sneezing incident. 3. Get a physical examination and possibly some diagnostic tests (e.g., urinalysis, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions. In the meantime: 1. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. 2. Avoid spicy or acidic foods that might irritate your urethra. 3. Urinate when you feel the need, rather than holding it in.
