Yah I've had the erection problems. Use to happen once awhile. Sometimes getting aroused cuz all the burning and discomfort down there and also the cold feeling balls and penis how can u get in the mood and enjoy the touching down there. And the mental aspect of it too..of will it happen again? Am I gonna get hard?? I wanna so bang this chic but will I respond right and maintain a boner??? Ur brain can mess with you too!! Alway thinking negative won't work.
But after awhile of these occurances I started to carry a half or quarter pill Viagra in my jeans fifth pocket if I went out to the bars or something. It always gave me confidence just knowing i had that pill in my pocket. I knew of i was going to bring a chic home or hook up somewhere that stuff always worked.
For me mostly it was the initial hook up with a girl or the first few to times you sleep with ur girl friend. I got nervous thinking of my prostatitis issues and worrying if I was gonna have erection problems again. So Viagra helps u get over that "hump" I like to say! Haha
Sometimes I never even needed to use the Viagra, just knowing it's in ur pocket and u can have a instant erection is all the confidennce I needed to have and just the moment u start kissing a chic or gf or start fooling around ur erection is hard and no worries and no need to pop the blue pill. But sometimes I feel the burning and the cold balls and penis and I would pop some Viagra before we got back to my place to insure I was gonna get erect and give her some great times!
But now I have a gf for 3 years and I don't need the Viagra. I get erect very easy and last. But in the beggining the first few times I did use the vaigra to get over the "hump" of my worries and fears.
She knows of my prostatitis issue now. She got upset once cuz I had a bad stint of it for like a month and didn't even initiate sex that whole time. I had to tell her my problem and explain. She was very understanding and loving.
about it.

So if ur single and have these erection problems sometimes and worry when ur with a girl for the first time or with a new gf for the first few times that ur physical issues and mental issues will get the best of you pop a quarter Viagra pill. It will work wonders. Keep it in a folded up gum wrapper in your fifth pocket. Great place to hide it and easy access!

Leaky gut? Yep. It's real. Doctors typically call it intestinal permeability. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=leaky%20gut Lots of mainstream studies on this.

I've been saying all along that Candida Albicans is a yeast and is part of our normal intestinal flora. It is only bad when it morphs into fungus (generally due to an alkaline environment). It is bimorphous. That means it can morph back into yeast given the right environment. It can become a big problem, when it goes systemic.

Regarding your doctor - run.

I wonder what he thinks of probiotics.

thanks jfh. it is sad when you get ridiculed by a pompous arrogant doctor when you are in serious dire straights. i just dont feel this will go away without me being pro active. the search continues..

Dealing with this 10 years? man, you need to see some better doctors or better yet, stop seeing western docs and try the alternative route. go see a really good naturopath or ayurvedic doctor.

Prostate problems can be caused by a lot of different factors.. its not like we all have the exact same cause. Stop looking for 1 cause, there are many. You have to look at the clues.. youve had balding hair etc. could be your DHT levels are too high which could irritate the prostate and cause your hair to fall out? thats one possibility. Or maybe you took drugs like finastride to stop hair loss which also cause prostate/sexual problems?

ive expericned the cold balls, cold penis head(glans) in the past.. I think its blood flow being restricted by tense muscles or something like that.. Try not to get too obcessed with any one symptom, just focus on getting super healthy in every way .. its easy to get lost thinking about this symptom or that symptom, but it just wastes your energy.

I also experienced the really thick, globby semen.. thats gotten a lot better though.. most of the time it seems totally normal conistency now, but there was a time when even my girlfriend commented on it "your themen is so thick"etc..

Staying hydrated properly helps with the semen issue.. but the prostate etc can have a role in that, the prostate makes the fluid that lubiricates etc so if its not producing enough etc semen can be too thick.

Burning in the urerthra.. could be urethritis, could also cause all those symptoms, did you ever get checked for STD's etc. also, pelvic floor tension can cause all those symptoms too, the burning the cold penis, etc.

So what did you do to stop having globby semen?

What did you do to stop having cold balls and penis?

What vitamins or supplements do you take?
I just started taking vitamin D3 and magnesium. I also bought selenium but it says on back of bottle It has yeast in it. Did I get the wrong kind of selenium?

I've been reading about guys who were treate with anti fungal meds cuz sometimes the yeast from the girl can gondown your urethra into your prostate and cause a yeast fungul...I've been wondering if that can be my problem. I've had minor fungus problem in skin and on my toe nails. So I know Im easily susceptible to fungi. And a lot of the times my prostatitis issues begin to comeback is when I've had a new sex partner or just had sex with gf. Maybe I need to try the Anti fungul meds, just need a dr to listen and prescribe it.

I tested positive once for chlamydia when my urethra was burning so every time I get these prostatitis issues i start panicking I got a STD and I go rush to get tested but I never have a STD. I never even have bacteria in my urine which my dr says would show signs of prostatitis...I've been to 3 urologist and none of them did a prostate exam or tested prostate fluid or semen even after I asked. My primary dr did a exam and said prostate was larger than usual for a 30 year old. And he put pressure on the prostate and that intesified the burning. So right there you know Its something wrong with the prostate! Right?

He just put me on 3 weeks cipro. It worked kinda but my muscles got really sore and tight. I did cipro again too a few months after that. Now this stint of it is way worse and burning bad. Now when I sit down it burns and aches. When I stand I feel way better though.

WTF do I do!?

Hmm.. your case seems a bit different then mine. So you tested positive for chlamydia? but you took antitibiotics which should have knocked it out right? Still could be playing a role to some degree.. Sometimes too what can happen is, you have an actual infection, that causes symptoms, then you knock it out with antitiotics but the symptoms linger, because your pelvic floor gets irritated and tense/messed up from the initial infection and resulting stress, unhealthy focus on that area.. thats one posibility..

The fact that you have fungul infections on toe's / fingers indicates that you may have a candida/yeast overgrowth as well..

Antibiotics are going to make the problem worse.. in the long run.. I would only take them if you test positive for bacteria or STD's.. you should get rechecked for all STD's.. maybe do a blood test to be more accurate.

You need to pay a lot of attention to your diet.. that is key.. Stop alcohol completely, stop sugar completely, cut back on meat, cut back on dairy, stop spicy foods, maybe stop tomatoes too/tomato products. Increase veggies, some fruit, good water.. sleep a lot, find a pelvic floor therapist and see if they can assess your pelvic floor.

Cipro is bad news.. it can cause serious long term side effects.. not worth it IMO unless your doctor shows you test results of infection.

I had a bad experience with cipro, how many different treatments have you had in 10 years?

I just wrote my first blog post I thought I should share it with you guys, hope you dont mind.

Prostatitis sucks, and the recovery process is a painful, heartbreaking test of will power. You can try to nuke the illness but symptoms of prostatitis have been shown to increase with treatments of antibiotics and anti microbial treatments the second or third time around. Antibiotics are rough, I know they seem harmless but if you take to much of the wrong drug it can really leave you vulnerable and pale looking, and even mess up your joints.

Feeling lost in your battle with prostatitis? Well alternative treatments are definitely hitting the academic journals and showing some positive results. Take for example a study involving two patients diagnosed with chronic prostatitis by (Van Alstyne, Harrington, & Haskvitz, 2010). Both patients had tried pharmaceutical treatments prescribed by their doctors in the past.

These two prostatitis sufferers were referred to a physical therapist who acted under the well supported assumption that there is a connection between chronic pelvic pain syndrome and chronic prostatitis. They saw their physical therapist twice a week, were taught a range of exercises, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises and encouraged to perform aerobic exercise. The results you ask? A huge reduction of symptoms than on a 2 years later follow up call “Each patient reported pain-free activity”

I don’t think you should rule out bacteria as a cause for prostatitis because it may will be (Mazzoli, 2010) , but I do think that whatever treatment your doctor has prescribed should be accompanied with exercise, muscle relaxing techniques and maybe a little red wine (Shoskes & Manickam, 2003).

That study by mazzoli had a lot of information about ecoli, I think we should look into that

funny story, I read a crappy ebook about curing prostatitis a couple years ago and it said to get all my teeth fixed. I did and my mouth felt great. haha

Hey guys I was wondering if you would please try this juicing recipe because I feel that some of you will really benefit

4 apples
a large piece of tumeric
a small piece of ginger
2 carrots
4-5 kale leaf's

juice drink and then stretch or go for a walk to get your circulation moving
You may feel a lot better in about 35 minutes
I used to make this when I was in a lot of pain.
this is based on personal experience but please try and tell me if it works for you.

Juicing the turmeric is so helpful for symptom relief, because it improves blood circulation (like ginger) but also has huge anti inflammatory effects. The kale helps with overall health over time. add garlic if you dont mind the strong flavor and are battling bacteria.

Actually there is a connection between your teeth and the prostate. There are studies that show a link between gum disease and prostatitis. Many eastern sciences believe that each tooth has a connection to a certain part of the body. Its been proven actually.. (see: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0426141502.htm)

Personally I do my best to take very good care of my oral health. Everyone should. The mouth is the key to health!

The way someone explained it to me was interesting. Having bad teeth is a waste of your immune systems energy and can slow recovery of the most harmless illness.
But it was an old man and not a scientist.

Hey guys, I was wondering how many of you received any definitive test results concluding you had bacterial prostatitis prior to treatment (antibiotics).

I had no positive test results. I was negitive for everything they tested for.

Most of the time positive once or twice negative..........

never but high wbc

8 weeks cipro because of 2 high wbc from the uro. dr stewart oake, head of the dept of the ottawa-general hospital ottawa canada. run or punch, i did neither..

i tried 4 weeks of sulfa trim from a gp after that. he said he dealt with many cases in the military alomost all wear bacterial.
