What Causes Urinary Incontinence Upon Intake Of Steroid Shots?
I have had 3 steroids shot to the right hip joint for pain. The centers around my right groin area, where I guess the groin muscle is also located. Can this slow down urination, I have recently experienced this problem it just dribbles out or stops no prostrate problems

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, steroids shot locally can not cause urinary symptoms like dribbling.
Possibility of prostate related symptoms (prostatitis) is more likely.
So better to get done fresh PSA (prostate specific antigen) and ultrasound of prostate to rule out BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia).
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
