Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I remember a movie called Caffeine from when I was a kid and one of the characters had a nervous bladder. One of his friends kept telling him it might be prostate cancer (while he was trying to pee) and it only made him more frustrated and nervous.
Later in the movie, someone is being mean to him and he just snaps and lies saying, "You know what? I've got cancer! So back off!"
An enlarged prostate is something that will happen to most men who live long enough. Prostate cancer is not. It's very probable that difficulty peeing is a result of non-cancerous prostate enlargement.
I mean sometimes this happens to me too if I apply too much pressure to my perineum (such as when sitting on a hard surface). It gives me the sensation of needing to pee without actually needing to pee. So it can happen even if your prostate is normal.
I got bad news, @Psythik...
Wait...i should probably see a doctor, reading all this.
I don't want to, i'm too busy trying to get other shit in order.
It may not be that bad! You may just have an opioid addiction that can leave certain muscles unresponsive, making urination take an absurdly long time. #kratomlife
But still, get checked. Everyone needs to feel that cold figure eventually. Better safe than cancer. My family are like lab rats and two men that lived saintly lives compared to me died of cancer of the Everything out of the blue. Having reached middle age, I'm afraid I'm built like that too.
Prostate check is usually a blood test now. They apparently can just check for antigen levels.
As much as I can relate, there are some things I wish I'd checked even if everything else wasn't in order.
