I'm not a guy but, when my bladder acts like that I assume and treat for yeast. Usually I have been bad about carbs the week before.
Drinking cranberry juice, even the sweetened kind gives me almost immediate relief. I have also taken oil of oregano and garlic. It seems to me that there are other things that I do but can't remember them just now.
Drinking LOTS of water is always good.
It could be a reaction(irritation) to a med you are taking too?

I don't quite comprehend what your describing? Do you have a burning sensation?
Do you think you have a post void residual or are you dribbling after urination? A urologist can scan your bladder w/an ultrasound to see if there's a PVR.
If it's dribbling after urinating, a urologist showed me that if you gently squeeze underneath & behind the scrotum when you're done, it helps drain any additional urine. If your symptoms are bothersome, you should see a urologist.
I take Beta Sitosterol & Saw Palmetto as well and drink Cranberry juice from time to time.
