My progress

Iv'e been having some good luck as of lately. My Dr. put me on Doxycycline a while back ( about a month ) and the effects of the prostatitis Iv'e had for about seven years seems to be slowly going away. I am improving in my daily activites and am getting on finally with my life than I ever had before. I had a TURP seven years ago and while the retro ejaculation used to bother me quite a bit, it really doesn't bother me much anymore. I can still have great erections and the orgasms are fine. Besides it doesn't seem to bother the women that much anyhow. I still have a little dribbling after peeing, but my stream is strong and good. The Dr. seems to think I am completrly emptying my bladder. I will continue to see this Dr. and hope my progress will eventually reach 100%.  I have a strong faith in the LORD and know he is responsible for this.

    Wonderful to read good news, praying your improving continues.  I had turp eight weeks ago and feel fully recovered but I know I'm not.  My stream is now strong, I think I could peal the bark off a tree with it, (joke).  Strong erections have returned along with strong orgasms, no retro and very little if any dripping after peeing.  I am fortunate to have had such good luck.

    Best of luck to you Steven

      Wow, no RE after TURP.  Was that a traditional TURP or one of the laser procedures

      I believe it was traditional turp, I wasn't told if it was anything else.  The doc that did mine said he has done allot of these, what that means is anybodys guess.  Retro would not have mattered, I wanted to be able to pee.

      I agree with what saying about just wanting to be able to pee. You got the added bonus of no RE. You're Blessed

      Explain how you felt immediately after operation, was there pain, how was it a few weeks after, any problems, when did you really get better. Can you participate in sports or are you restricted. Was a turp your only possibility.
