Hi all,
Hope you are feeling not too bad and are coping with whatever you are suffering from.
I was diagnosed, by my GP, with BPH about three years ago although I have been having symptoms for way longer than that as I kept putting off bringing it to his attention.
My question is can BPH lead to prostatitis, non bacterial? I ask because over the past several months I have been experiencing a lot of 'discomfort' after urinating such as stinging, burning, which extends the length of my penis way back up between my legs and 'deep inside'. Along with this is the constant, and I mean constant, feeling of wanting to 'go'. Sometimes the stinging seems to turn to a dull sort of ache which is difficult to describe. Along with this is an intermittant feeling that I am going to wet myself as it feels a 'spurt' of urine is making its way down my penis but only one one occassion, thankfully, has anything actually leaked.
I went to my GP about a month ago now and he did a urine test but it was clear. He has referred me to the hospital to see a urologist as I also had another instance of difficulty in urinating but my appointment is a month away.
The 'discomfort' comes and goes over several weeks or months, or so it seems, but when it comes it drives me to despair.
I take Tamsulosin and Finasteride
Just wonderd if anyone else is suffering similarly.
Best wishes and thanks for reading.

Thank you for your reply and in taking the time to read my post.
I am 62 and my brother, last October, was diagnosed with cancer. He had his prostate removed in November.
I shall have to wait and see what is advised/discovered when I see the urologist next month. It is 'reassuring' that others experience the same symptoms as sometimes you think such 'odd' sensations cannot be real.
Many years ago I went through a period of similar symptoms, not quite as severe but troubling, and eventualy had a cystoscopy which revealed the lining of my bladder was 'very red'. Like you I was prescribed antibiotics over an extended period, two months I think, and that did seem to do the trick. I am thinking this BPH has upset the apple cart again.
I hope your course works and that you will soon find some relief from this nagging annoyance which can take over your life.
Best wishes.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to reply to my post.
Has the PAE worked for you? Are you in the UK? If so where did you have it done, NHS or private?

I have had very results only after 3 weeks with much better flow. I had very slow flow especially in the afternoon that is now mostly resolved. I am hoping to stop the Flowmax pill  (1) at some later date,  but will wait a while longer to try top the medication.

that our prostate is built like a spong geting enough drugs where you need them is very difficult to do. i never tested positive for fugus. i have read about that treatment as well. Â a guy in NYC does it and i think a guy in california does the injection, not covered by insurance. wish there was a clear path to treat this condition but as you said there are a number of prostatitis conditions which you may have or they coexist together.

I had a PAE done in Jan of this year in hopes thst it might help, and promptly got one heck of a prostate infection. So Im not sure its possible to ever get rid of.

Thank you for your reply to my post.
I suppose I will just have to wait until I have my appointment and see what is discovered. Do the antiboitics work for you?
