Hey guys thought I would add something to this thread.
Super quick recap… Took propecia for years, quit around June/09. Never really had a terrible crash… A lot of ups and downs with various supps, cialis, arginine, etc.
I am willing to try something if it seems to work for others. I got on board the whole prostatatis thing around Sept of this year. Just now finishing up treatment with a local prostate doc. Treatment consists of a 2 minute or so prostate drainage done about 2 times a month. Maybe 3 the first month. Taking 1 allimax (garlic supp) and oregano oil capsules (1 or 2) daily.
As for prescriptions… Treatment started with zithromax+amoxicillin then septra and now finally flagyl. All generic brands.
I take 1 cialis 20mg a week.
Now the reason why I posted. When I got to flagyl, after a few tabs my penis girth returned to pre PFS size. The outer skin maybe somewhat thinner or more veiny… But, after 2 years of the thinner girth, I almost forgot how thick my penis used to be when erect.
I wish I knew exactly what the cause was… if it was the combination of the ab’s or just the flagyl… but, my girth has remained. I don’t think it’s the massaging of the prostate since there really haven’t been that many.
I was thinking maybe flagyl or an antibiotic cocktail might help someone else. My prostate doc kept me away from quinolones. My testicles, sensitivity, libido is relatively stable. I don’t think my treatment protocol made any drastic changes there.
Penis size when erect IS a drastic change. Seems like 50% thicker. Think cialis in combination with flagyl or more ab’s can maybe help someone else with penile shrinkage.
Unless it was just time that brought my improvement back… Don’t think so, though.
