There can be other urological issues here. You might want to see a urologist. I have urethral strictures and that causes frequent uriniation. I have seen a urologist regularly for this problem for 30 years now.
well the urological problems that I know of are a varicocele on my left testicle and epididymitis that has probably gone away as my testicle/scrotum doesnt hurt as much and doesnt loook as inflamed, and the frequent urination and the lowered testosterone, all of these problems happened sometime around July 27th after my dog stepped on the back of my left testicle on July 24th and I had a very long masturbation session the night of July 26th, the morning of July 27th I kept waking up and realized something was wrong
Your body has a complex system for balancing the volume and composition of body fluids. Your kidneys remove extra body fluids from your bloodstream. This fluid waste is stored in the bladder as urine. If your fluid regulation system is working properly, your kidneys make less urine to conserve fluid when the body is losing water. Your kidneys also make less urine at night when the body's metabolic processes are slower.
In order to keep the volume and composition of body fluids balanced, the rate of fluid intake is governed by thirst, and the rate of excretion is governed by the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin. This hormone is made in the hypothalamus, a small gland located in the base of the brain. ADH is stored in the nearby pituitary gland and released from it into the bloodstream when necessary. When ADH reaches the kidneys, it directs the kidneys to concentrate the urine by returning excess water to the bloodstream and therefore make less urine.
DI occurs when this precise system for regulating the kidneys' handling of fluids is disrupted. The most common form of clinically serious DI, central DI, results from damage to the pituitary gland, which disrupts the normal storage and release of ADH. Another form, nephrogenic DI, results when the kidneys are unable to respond to ADH. Rarer forms occur because of a defect in the thirst mechanism (dipsogenic DI) or during pregnancy (gestational DI).
A specialist should determine which form of DI is present before starting any treatment.

I can understand being afraid of a urologist. I was born with urethral strictures and I did not go to a Urologist the first until I could not urinate at all. I was afraid that this frequent urination meant that I had a sexually transmitted disease. I was scared to death to go see the urologist. But he has made my life. I had to urinate so often that I could not enjoy life at all. I dared not to travel. Get an appointment with a good urologist.
I agree with OBB, there could be issues up inside the urethra with the trauma you mention. However, I still recommend a blood sugar test just in case, to be safe.
Since my surgery at the hands of Dr. Kimmel, I have had recurring nighttime urges to urinate. I used to not have to urinate until 4 or 5 am, but now I find that I have to get up 2 or 3 times during the night. Now that my stitches are gone, I find that the urge to urinate has dimished somewhat, as I only have to get up once during the night. I'm guessing that the pain/itching of the stitches had something to do with it. And, no, I don't have diabetes as I have had a recent blood sugar test.
First: always check for Diabetes. It is a subtle and destructive ailment. Next: I have been told by all of my doctors (internist, endocrinologist and a reluctantly consulted urologist) that I should expect more frequent urination when Testosterone is at low levels or is absent. This has proved to be true. In my case, frequency of urination is well correlated with my use of supplemental Testosterone. --FLO--

right when my problem happened 3 1/2 months ago to cause my testosterone to decrease, I began having a frequent urination problem, I literaly couldnt go more then 2 hours without urinating wether I was awake or asleep and I had the constant urge to go
This lasted until about the end of September when I tried to get a job and occupy myself with other things and I felt my body become more tense and angry and I was able to hold in the urination more and I guess I thought it went away, I figured maybe it was psychological or something that went away
Now I am trying to relax more and I feel the frequent urination is coming back, again I feel like I constantly have to go and I cant go more then a few hours without urinating and there is always a stream coming out, I wont drink anything for 20 hours and there is always a flow of urine
I wonder if there is some mind body psychological thing that having testosterone lets you hold urine in more, I think that month I went where I tried getting a job or tried making believe I was normal again I was in denial about what was happening to me, though I was able to hold my urine in, though I was extremly angry and irritable in the process
Now I am coming to accept what is happening to me and I feel the urine flowing throw me like I cant hold it in, whenever I drink something I feel it has to come right out and it does, like water goes right through me, I also feel my body is giving out like I have no desire to eat or drink anything, like something in me is telling me to die
It sounds like urgencey perhaps, I would recommend on seeing a Urologist for this type of problem.
Testosterone normally naturally decrease with age after an approximate age of 25 just depending on the person.
