Question : I have been abstaining from masturbation and sex for religion reasons. Whenever I poop semen leaks out (not near the emount for ejaculation, but several drops.) Is this normal?

Hi AAAA
Thanks for writing in to Healthcare Magic!
Yes it is absolutely normal phenomenon.
It is not semen but the secretion of the Prostate gland which sits on urethra at it's origin below the neck of bladder and releases whitish secretion when you strain at bowels.
It's amount is more noticeable in sexual abstinence periods just because the secretion are not disposed by sexual activity.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
