Q: Slow starting urine flow

(im a male - 18 year old.)
well basically i have a serious problem..
when i go for urine, my urine takes too long to start,
ie ill be just standing/sitting there for like a minute or two and and my urine would still not start coming out.
sometimes i feel that its right at the edge(ie its just about come out) but if im nervous at that time then it might just stop there and not come out.
no matter how desperate im to go the toilet, it will still take a long time to start, and if im in a hurry or feeling nervous, it just wont come out.

first i thought this problem is caused by masturbation, but i dont masturbate alot, max ive done is 2 times day or i do it after 1 or 2 days.
i tried to stop masturbating for like 3 months, that didnt solve my problem. i also want to know if this problem is caused by masturbation.???

i got in contact with a homeopathic doctor, he gave me few different medicines, but that hasn't solved the problem.

please i need help seriously. i need to know wat i should do.

thnx

do you eat chocolate, or something with copper in your diet may be causing an inbalance between copper & zinc.
how is your imune system? what is your body mass index( hight to weight ratio). everytime a male ejaculates he looses some zinc, if you are also eating foods with copper in them you may have this out of balance. copper & zinc are like - & and if they are not balanced you get aflat battery(so to speak). weight & imune function can be a indicator of zinc being low in our diets, but don't expect anything nutritional to have such fast results, it takes time, i have a inbalance of calcium & magnesium & it has taken 6mths fo me to gain balance of that, but my case is more extreme than yours & is not relative to your symptom. maybe you should give it some more time & try to abstain from masterbating until things improve, occupy your mind with something else, maybe computer games or research into your symptoms!

i don't have much faith in either but if it came to a choice i'd probably choose a GP at least he can order any tests that might be required.
if you are loosing too much zinc & having copper in your diet or something that could be contributing to this in balance this may be causing your prostate to be enlarged & causing the interuption to flow, if not addressed who knows where that will leave you in later years masterbation could be contributing to it especially at the frequency you incure, but what i say is not necessarily gosple!
