Need help badly PROSTATITIS HELL FIRE!

Just my thoughts. Prostatitis is supposedly very hard to diagnose. I'm not sure I believe that but its what I was told. I had what seemed to be prostatitis. Dr. did exam of my prostate, when she touched my prostate, it hurt, a lot. Yet she ignored the pain. Eventually the pain went away when I was on antibiotics for a UTI. I asked my GP for 2 extra weeks of antibiotics and he gave them to me. My understanding is, the best to diagnose prostatitis is get fluid from it. Not a urine sample but semen or whatever its called. The send it out to see if there are bacteria in it. Then the proper antibiotics can be prescribed. This is what I've been told, not sure how much of it is true. I hope you find a way to healing, I'm praying for you. And please get help if the suicidal thoughts return. Find someone to talk to. Good luck, God Bless

wow, im so sorry to hear this my friend, please hang in there, jesus doesn't give us anything we cannot handle. However have you tried an alpha blocker for the pain? Also, what about levofloxacin as a med? I have the same as you, it took a bit to calm down AND I had to stop drinking sugary drinks as to that REALLY set it off, have you tried that yet? Please talk to me and let me know, concerned for you

Leonard,

You should work with a Urologist if you are not already. Did you have a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) ? If you have prostatitus the DRE will probably be painful. To diagnose prostatitus you will probably need to have a semen sample analysed for bacteria, a urine sample only shows infection of the bladder, kidneys, or urethra.

I had prostatitus when I was 22. The Urologist did a DRE to massage semen out if the prostate onto a microscope slide. They looked at it to determine what type of antibiotic to use, and also to determine when the infection was gone. I think he also wanted to push semen out of the prostate to discharge bacteria along with it. You should be able to do the same with masturbation. The idea is to keep old and stale semen moving out of the prostate along with the bacteria, and draw the antibiotic in from the blood stream.

Best wishes,

Thomas

A few things:

1. would definitely suggest seeing a urologist
2. consider a semen culture. bacteria that do not show up in urine culture, or even in expressed prostate fluid, ,can show in semen
3. Consider taking D-mannose from a health store. I have had some definate symptom relief from taking this . This is a simple sugar, but the body does not readily process it, so most of it passed oit via urine. It occurs naturally is some foods and has various roles in nature. It happens to bind the outside surface of E. coli. This interferes with e.coli ability to adhere to lining of urinary tract. It is very effective. Most UTI and bacterial prostatitis is caused by e.coli. It does not work against other bugs.
