About a week ago I started a thread about the best underwear for men. I thought my underwear was causing the discomfort I was feeling on my you know what.
Earlier this week I decided to visit the urologist. I get a DRE during my annual physical. Up until now they have been uncomfortable but not painful. I had my last one this past May and it was the same as usual.
Holy crap. When the urologist gave me a DRE it felt like a bolt of lightning shot through my body. The doctor said I have Prostatitis and gave me a prescription for a four-week supply of antibiotics.
I had actually never heard of Prostatitis. It turns out there are several types: Acute Bacterial, Chronic Bacterial, and Chronic Non-Bacterial. The latter is apparently the most common, which kind of sucks because there isn’t a pill for it. I doubt I ha e he acute version because I do not have the flu-like symptoms that typically come with it.
It’s wait-and-see time to see if the antibiotics help. This is not a severe malady. There are far worse conditions to have. But, my symptoms are so damn uncomfortable, primarily the sensitivity and to a lesser extent the burning inside. Walking sucks. Exercise sucks. Just about all movement sucks.
I’m interested to hear experiences with Prostatitis and how you have managed your symptoms and discomfort. Thanks.

Great. I have used acupuncture for another issue. I’m afraid to ask, but where do the needles go?
What type of symptoms does he get? Thanks for sharing, BTW.
Guilty as charged.

It can also be cured from getting even more BJs. It's that whole "hair of the dog that bit you" and "fighting fire with fire" thing. If a BJ is out of the question, jerking off works too. No kidding, this is straight from the mouth of a doctor (no pun intended).
I am all for alternative medicine. Question. Would it help if the BJ’s came from a variety of women rather than just one? I’m sure my wife will understand. It’s medical.

Bottomline is tell your wife she isn't getting the "job" done frequently enough. So either she ups the daily dose or you fill the prescription elsewhere. Doctors orders!

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (NBP) is the most common prostatitis syndrome. Prevention and cure are not possible because the cause of NBP is unknown. However, patients may benefit from supportive measures. The impact of the frequency of ejaculation alone on the course of NBP was evaluated in the present study.
METHODS:
Thirty-four single male patients who avoided masturbation and extramarital sexual intercourse for personal and/or religious beliefs and who did not respond to a clinical trial of doxycycline hydrochloride therapy (200 mg daily for 4 weeks) directed against mycoplasmas, chlamydiae and ureaplasmas were enrolled in the study. They were encouraged to masturbate regularly at least twice a week and were re-evaluated at the end of a 6 month period, including a complete inquiry regarding their sexual function during this time. Response was assessed by a symptom severity index.
RESULTS:
Clinical and laboratory re-evaluation could be performed in 28 patients. Of 18 patients who adhered to the recommendations, two (11%) experienced complete relief of symptoms, whereas six (33%) had marked improvement, six had moderate improvement and four (22%) did not benefit. In contrast, three of seven patients who masturbated less frequently reported partial improvement. Three patients who did not ejaculate other than during wet dreams had a worse prognosis.
CONCLUSIONS:
Young men who are single and suffering from NBP must be informed about their illness in detail and, if they are not doing so, they should be encouraged to ejaculate regularly, for example by masturbation in the absence of a sexual relationship with a partner. We believe that normal sexual activity decreases the incidence of NBP in some cases.

Thanks, Doc! Although, this seems too good to be true. You sure this isn’t from The Onion?
I’ll show my wife your treatment plan. It will carry a lot more weight coming from a medical professional.
Spike. Sorry, I’m only accepting female applicants at this time.
I am on an antibiotic 2x daily for 28 days. Not even sure which one. All of my symptoms have been in the manhood. Although, I started feeling some pain in the pelvic area today. The pain isn’t horrible. It’s just so damn uncomfortable.

Going to interstate rest stops have we.
That’s great news because I found one diagram that looked like one needle went in an unspeakable area. I plan to meet with a practitioner ASSP. Thanks for the advice.

Talk about taking one for the team NTTAWWT
That sounds like a living hell. Sorry to hear about that. Did you have periods of relief or were your symptoms constant?
The pelvic floor muscles are impacted by stress both physical and emotional. Just about everyone tightens up down below. I think my ass is tight every waking hour.
For those of you that are proponents of John Sarnow’s book ‘Mind Over Back Pain,’ this relationship between the mind and body should sound familiar. A group at Stanford Univ has been focusing on the stress-CPPS relationship for 25 years.
Their treatment (David Wise, PhD and Dr. Rodney Anderson) involves loosening the muscles of the pelvic floorand reducing stress. Their method of loosening the muscles is not for the faint of heart.
After speaking with my internist, my plan is to visit a practice that specializes in Pelvic Floor PT and work on the behavioral therapy side as well.
I am also going to meet with an acupuncturist that specializes in this area.
was hoping that person would provide that info again
Once every two days? Hell, I could do that in my sleep.
