Need help with my diagnosis (prostaitis)

Posted , 4 users are following.

hey guys. it looks like where doctors are unable to understand me, i had to seek help from my fellow members who might have gone through the same situation what i have.

2 weeks ago, when i went to urinate, i felt some discomfort on the tip of my penis. not sure what happened but it continued next day. so i went to my GP, he did the urine culture blood work etc and all came back normal. he told me that if it continued then go to the urologist. that same week, my irritation went away and i started noticing that i when i used to sit down on my couch, i felt like sitting on top of a small ball. when i was standing, i felt like a small ball stuck in my rectal. this mostly happened after i was sitting down in my bathroom passing urine. once i am done urinating and i sat down on my couch, it felt like i have the bowel pressure building again and i might have to defecate but if i go to the bathroom i know nothing wil come out so i just ignore and sit on top of it which gives me kinda spasm on my glutes. so last week i went to the GP and told him about my symptoms and he said that external looks ok so provably might be hemarroids internal. use the preparation H cream and everything would be ok. i asked him if it might be my prostate and he said no. he did not do my rectal exam.

i didnt listen to him so after couple of days i went yo urgent care and they did all the tests and everything came back normal. however, when he did the rectal exam, he said that i can feel the prostate tender so he provided me doxylene and ibbrufen.

well i dont personally agree with his analysis because i absoloitely have no symptoms that falls into the prostaitis issue other than rectal pressure that i feel after i am done urinating but no issues for urinating etc. i do drink alot of water and workout strength exercises 4 days a week that includes deadlifts, squats, lifting 100lb dimbbells etc. i eat healthy and i hVe no issues with my bowel movement other than feeling soarness in my glutes or buttocks and the rectal pressure.

has anyone been through the situatiin like i have ? my health anxiety is also killing me but this is just annoying not being able to sit for 8 hours

    Why not see a urologist?

    • Posted

      the appointment for a urologist is like 2 weeks away hence asking for assitance to see if anyone else encountered the same issue.

      to my knowledge prostaitis is mostly related with groin issues or urinating pain, etc but my symptoms does not match with prostaitis so not sure if the doc can definitely feel the tenderness of prostate or not.

      also, my cocyx also gets pressure when sitting down..

      i dont think im constipated because i have my regular bowel movement in the morning and later that day also. the stool is bulkier.

      its so woered that when i urinate sitting down and try to push the last drops out that puts pressure in my rectal, when i come out, i have the feeling if defecate but i know nothing will coke out. this happens after 30 min.

      basically my glutes are soar to sit and when i sit down, it feels like somethijg is stuck in ny rectal and i get this oressure
