Did you check out that link I posted? Have you ever had amalgam fillings? Detoxing heavy metals from your system may also help. Its just one more stress on our system, can also screw with you digestion.

great post jofus. we needd more people sharing their issues theories and problems. we need people with beating and have beat this to gage where we are what we have and if there are matches. i agree with detox, heavy metals and diet if there is no bug.

i know of one guy that e-mails me but doesnt post, he said to me that he is getting better by stopping ejaculating and supplements for a month. seems that the little bugger may need rest if you are doing the wrong things to your body.

i too had a bad diet, habbits amd plenty of stress. those things can lead to a host of problems.

i remember when weak erections was a thing to look forward to.

Hey.. yea I saw your info about mercury fillings... thankfully ive never had a filling But they are definitely bad news and can certainly cause all kinds of issues.. so good on you for taking them out.. but taking them out can be dangerous too, hope you did it the right way.. the dentist/you should be wearing gas masks etc .. lots of protective equipment.

"weak erections a thing to look forward to"
since when is that a thing to look forward too! lol.. are you saying you dont even get weak erections now?

Yea prostatitis absolutely causes weak erection.. it interferes with the muscles/nerves/blood flow down there.

moxsum have you ever thought of or looked into candida symptoms? i does a lot of those things to your body. i know its a stretch but everything you said sounds like it.

i got severe after antibiotcs. they cause heavy metals in the body and promote yeast rising. there is a theory that yeast follows bacteria and the other way around following a signal to decompose tissue. when the bacteria is killed by the antibiotics the yeast stays. also if there is yeast in the gut - colon that is real close to the prostate.

anyway guys some real good posts. reassures me that i am on the right path with diet and low to no stress. everyting irie

no and that wasnt something to laugh at! lol. ya there was a time. i was close to jumping bro. i had a real bad case. my genitals were cold as ice. if i did get it working it was up and down then premature. now i am happy and in a relationship so everything is working and if i feel it may need a jump start my uro gave me the yellow pills. wish i never met the man but that was the least he could do.

so inclosing for anyone out there.... yes it does get better and harder in a good way.

MOXSUM what type oF exercise does your pt have you doing mine pretty much kicked me to the curb.

SO AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO HAS BEEN TOLD BY HIS DOC THAT HIS PROSTATE IS ENLARGED IVE HAD THE DRE AND A CAT SCAN AND BOTH REVEALED I HAVE A MILDLY ENLARGED PROSTATE. I AM COVINCED THAT I WIIL BEAT THIS BUT I MUST ADMITT AT TIMES I'M AFRAID IM STUCK WITH THIS EVIL PROSTATE THAT IS SLOWLY BRINGING ME DOWN

Umm.. you have to make the distinction between BPH and prostatitis, they are different. Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland, more common in younger men. BPH is benign enlargement of the prostate, more commonly seen in older men. One is inflamation .. the other is enlargement. Did your doc tell you that you have BPH? Or prostatitis?

Your prostates not evil its your friend.. you just gotta take care of it properly. As far as exercises.. you want to do a lot of stretching (properly) of your hips, legs, etc.. its very good to have your hips, legs, that whole area be loose and flexible.. when your muscles are tense and jacked up all the time, it constricts blood/lymph/nerve flow. The looser/relaxed the muscles, the more easily blood/lypmh/nerve energy can flow. My hips are still very tight and my piriformis/glutes/hip flexors.. from years of exercising and not stretching properly.. ive been doing a lot of yoga for a few months but im still very tight.. but im commited. I know that once I really loosen up my hips it will have a big impact.

Ofcourse, tense pelvic floor muscles and piriformis etc can squeeze the pudendal nerve which runs to your penis/prostate etc. which is not good. you dont want that nerve to be compressed at all..

This is the biggest scam in medicine!! A doctor cannot tell how big the prostrate is by feeling a small portion of it with one finger. So the DRE was a big lie. They probably lied about the cat scan also. The only purpose of the DRE is to feel if there is lumps on it that could be cancerous.
Try it yourself... get a ball of any size and feel a small part of it with one finger. Close your eyes while you do it and see if you can tell the size.

prostatitis.

Good point AD.

Little udpate guys:

Seems ive had a very slight increase in symptoms the past day or two, but I cant tell if im just imaging it or not..

Ive been feeling great for a long time with almost no symptoms.. This weekend though, I was in a class where I was sitting ALL day long for 2 days, and the first day we went to a thai restaraunt and I ordered a cucumber salad, which was basically slices of cucumber sitting in a cup of sugar syrup with some spices.. lol, worst thing you could eat.. but I ate a bit of it.. then second day we went to an indian restaraunt and I ate some pretty spicy food and a 'samosa' which was fried an surely made with gluten/wheat. I also didnt sleep enough over the weekend.. But I was feeling pretty good.. then today (day or two later) I woke up and noticed my stream was a bit thinner/weaker then normal.. and I actually masturbated this afternoon (TMI?) but noticed a feeling of urgency during.. which I remember feeling in the past..

Seems like things are improving though towards the end of the day so thats good.. my guess is this is/was just a temporary slip up from eating the wrong things, not sleeping enough and sitting all weekend. I also noticed some slight stomach discomfort last night.

I am convinced that prostatitis .. atleast in my case is tied in with digestion/diet.

Alcohol, Spicy Food, Gluten, Caffeine, Sitting all day, Not sleeping enough = SYMPTOMS

Somehow, either food intolerances or leaky gut/messed up digestive system causes the prostate to inflame. Once it becomes inflamed, the muscles around it become tense which further exacerbates symptoms. This is a known phenomenon.. when an organ is inflamed/struggling, the muscles around it stiffen up to protect it from further harm. I believe this is why men, like myself end up seeing pelvic floor therapists, and discover there whole pelvic floors are tense and full of trigger points.. but the real root cause is whatever inflames the prostate initially, which then sets of a protective mechanism in the muscles around it. When these muscles become tense, they themselves cause many symptoms.. But simply treating these muscles is not enough... I think we need to focus on diet/fixing our digestive/immune systems, then the prostate will stop being irritated by foods that never used to cause us problems, and then the surrounding muscles will relax.

This is my current theory anyway

There are many conditions like this.. many of them auto-immune, where people get 'flare ups' after eating certain foods.. like arthritis patients etc.. Why is this happening? Clearly, there is something wrong in the digestive system, and these foods irritate specific parts of the body.

I know for me anyway, ive had digestive issues since right before this started and ever since.. along with some stress/anxiety issues. To me they are all related and all caused by the same thing.. digestive problem.. could be food allergies, could be leaky gut, could be dysbiosis of bacteria from antibiotics etc.

The thing is, a lot of things can mess up our digestive systems.. Antibiotics, stress, over-exercising, food allergies, alcohol, hormones.

So im more convinced now that I need to stick with my diet, and be even more strict about it.. this weekend I knew I shouldnt eat those two things, but though.. well who cares its only once.. but.. from now on I wont take any chances. No gluten, no spicy food, no simple sugars for me.

Moxsum, have you abstained from masterbation/sex for a prolonged period since your first symptoms?
Did you have lower back pains as symptoms?

Yesterday was a bad day for me. I too have been feeling better but yesterday I was pissing all day and my pelvis area was killing me. Today was better I would like to know what foods are hurting me bread will be hard for me to give up as I love turkey burgers and sandwiches. I have not smoke weed for eight days now this is longest I have went in 12 yrs. I wish I knew if my problem is muscle related or bacteria or fungus or what HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME is what I cant stop asking myself. Do any of you have lower back pain? I do most all the time. I wonder does my prostatitis stem from a back injury I had when I was young or from when my jaw was broke. In 2003 I had a bad bike accident where I broke my wrist dont know all I know is I have to beat this so I can live in peace im only 37 I plan on living for many more years living the rest of my life with this wont be KOOL not at all it will be very hard thats what scares me most is being 50-60 yrs old and dealing with this scary!

dealing with this at 60 would be better than this. i to am 37. yesturday was bad for me too and the day before. i started taking malic acid getting ready for a liver flush and i think i have noticed a difference in a good way. i lookwd it up and it is an antifingal as well. just another tip off. i dont know if i am going in the right direction but the diet (and i am strict) is helping. i do small amounts of mms now in the morning and fivelac and other probiotics at night.

i played hockey and squash this week and both times i feel tight in the nuts and whistle. maybe the had intense running.

i saw a doctor today and he said my blood shows i am very healthy but yet $ months ago i wanted to jump i was in so much pain. my homepathic doc and colonic person said my colon was full of toxic crap and bad bacteria. she said she could see why i was in such a state.

anyway all i have got is malic acid today, feels good and cost $1.99 for 100 grams. I took aprox 800mg or more. dont know how long one should or can take it but i will check it out. the liver flush is what i hear a good start to feeling better and helping the immune sysytem out big time. the chinese and homeopathy says the liver is where bad energy such as anger is stored.
