can you people be kind enough for some help and advice i have posted on here before i have just finished  taking trimethorprim for two months and my condition has returned , i was pain free during that period and was having physio , but the pain has returned to my back and a burning pain in my groin. I was wondering if this is now cpps as i have had this condition for over 12 months , i had a cystoscopy done in January to see if there were tumours in my bladder but i got the all clear . I am urinating twice a night but my  flow is quite strong and i do not have any problems with getting an erection although ejacualtion is sometimes sore . I am stuck in which avenue to go down my Gps are a waste of time and i find there not helping , would you reccommend another antiobotic which is perhaps and anti imfamattary , thoughts please as this is geeting me so down and depressed

      Hi 

      WEll you need a referral initially to a Urologist at the local Hospital. And they will do scans etc to determine the problem.

      If you do have BPH then you need to fully research all your options.

      I had a PAE which in my opinion is the best place to start.

      regards

      Jeremy

      Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, an enlarged prostate that is not life threatening.

      Prostatic Arterial Embolisation. A simple procedure that injects tiny beads to block some arteries that has the effect of shrinking it to allow better flow and reduce the pressure on the bladder leading to frequent urinating.

      It is important to have a specific diagnosis for YOUR problem before you start considering the options.
