Is this CPPS?? Or something really wrong with me?

Hey guys. 

8 Months ago I started having pain in the perineum which came with a handful of symptoms. Sometimes decreased urine flow, sometimes sporadic urine flow with force. Also when I had the urge to urinate, there was a strange feeling in the front of the bladder. Another one of the symptoms (and this is the strange one), penile retraction. (You may know it as penile turtling, buried penis, or shrinkage. ) This is the scariest one since it shrunk my penis to a really small size like it was blocking blood flow and being pulled back into the body.

The scrotum also shriveled up. Anyway, eventually, I went to the urologist he checked my prostate with the finger test and said i have non-bacterial prostatitis. (had no comment on the penis issue. ) He gave me an anti-inflammatory and some alpha blockers. Eventually, things got better and everything relaxed. During that time I did trigger point exercises and massages and things seem to have got better.

After a while, symptoms started coming back. Also worth mentioning I may have IBS(Irritable Bowel Syndrom) which is causing gas in the colon. So this gas started irritating the pelvic floor and every time I went to the bathroom for #2 it becomes worse. So now I'm back to where I started and symptoms are worse. Now here's what worries me:

I don't have the normal symptoms of someone with CPPS. For one, I don't have frequent urination, and the other, no one with CPPS has this penis issue that I'm having. During the good days, the penis is fully relaxed, almost too much. Some days its pulled back. But when this perennial problem flairs up its fully pulled back and small and the shrinking sometimes causes pain. (This is not paranoia. I am aware that the penis can change the size and shrivels up when its cold or to protect itself.) This is very correlated with the pelvic strain. 

Does anyone have any ideas of what could be causing this? Any suggestions? 

Does anyone have similar symptoms or had similar symptoms? Please share if you have. 

Thanks.

    Hello my friend.  I was going to say before I read more in your post that it sounded like prostatitis.  Ever man can get it and we all have different symptoms.  I have some of the ones that you have but my penis goes numb.  Now that is a funny feeling.Now with the penis problem.  I was looking it up and all I found was that it has something to do with the muscle in the perineum area.  It said that to help it you have to go to the gym and work on the leg muscles and watch what you eat.  I am going to look more on the internet to see if I can find anything else.  Take care  Ken

      Well the medicine he gave you is for the spasm.  Try it for a few days and if you don't get any better call the office at tell him you what antibiotic.  This is not working.  And if he will not do it.  Get another doctor  Ken

      Sorry to here about it.  Everything in that area has to do with everything in that area   Do you take anything for your #2 to help you go.  My doctor gave me a stool softer to take if I feel I am having a problem  It's called Docusate Sodium 100 MG  I do take it sometime and it does help  Hope you feel better  Ken
