Back here again, after 4 years....

General Discussion
#1

Some of you may remember my urinary issues I was having. Well… after spending thousands on the route cause of the problem i’m at a dead end, maybe…

Tests I’ve had done:

Pelvis X-ray
Rigid cystoscopy
Flexible cystoscopy
Mri scan
Ultrasound abdomen
Urodynamics
Colour doppler Ultrasound of prostate
DRE
Semen culture
Urine culture
Prostatic fluid culture

Hormones:

Full thyroid panel including RT3
Testosterone
Estradiol
Shbg
FSH
LH
DHEA-S

Other:

Liver function test
Stool culture

Findings:

Prostatic fluid culture: infection, staphylococcus epidermdis, streptococcus mitis.

Flexible cystoscopy: high bladder neck (swollen prostate maybe?)

Hormone results all good and where they should be for my age. High testosterone, low estrogen etc…

I’ve literally come to an end with tests to find the source of the building pressure at the base of my penis which is relieved when voiding urine. It’s constant all day, every day and so it’s seeming for the rest of my life! My symptoms just don’t fit prostatitis, I have no pain, just pressure and occasionally low semen volume

I beg someone to point me in the right direction. I’ve exploited every single urological angle possible. Uro’s have simply raised their hands.

Can anyone help me with this?

#3

What kind of stool test did you do?

I’ve seen your findings. Maybe you can do a dysbiose urine test (this is for your small intestine).

There are more of these tests. You don’t need to do the Genova test. It’s just an example.

#4

What sort of help are you looking for? You seem to have diagnosed medical issues, PFS isn’t curable or even entirely treatable at this point in time. Some of the things you say you have may be treatable with ordinary medical science or holistic medical science, so I don’t know what else anyone here can offer you.

I think dysbiosis is defiantly a test worth exploring Jorden. The reason being is when i take probiotics (has an effect on gut flora, albeit a limited amount of time as i don’t take too many too often ) in the evening before going to sleep, i will wake in the night and 9 times out of 10 have an aching bloated abdomen accompanied by a full bladder, but when i go to the toilet and try and empty, it’s just a dribble, how coincidential, just over 1 probiotic pill! Must be causing a disturbance as my urine stream flow / force is usually quite good now!

#6

I also had the same symptoms. I learned that it had to do with detoxing. You urinate more to get rid of bad flora. That’'s why i am so interested in the test i mentioned. I think these acids will be high:

  • benzoic acid
  • tartaric acid

When your gut starts to detox after a probiotic then there’s something wrong down there. But probiotics should not be the start of a protocol.
