Well if it don’t help me then i m off to Mongolia to become a shaolin monk.
There is nothing else to do. Really

I laughed out loud at this. You’re right, what the fuck else is there? I don’t want to kill myself, but this is not life either. I find no motivation to do anything but try to cure this disorder. All the money in the world in this castrated state would be no good. Looking at happy people, couples, kids innocently playing when I go on long walks to get some air and escape from the computer/research, I feel a total emptiness…like What happened to me? Why can I no longer feel that joy I used to have? Something’s got to give.

This doctor has suggested via e-mail to several of us to get “hormonal tests, Spermodiagram and Sperm culture looking for gram(+), gram(-), chlamydia, mycoplasma, ureoplasma and gardnerella vaginalis” to “see if there is any clue of chronic prostatitis.” Those were his words. You have suggested that only a trans rectal ultrasound (TRUS) and report of inflammation and/or prostate size >15cc can give us an indication that something is amiss. The doctor continues to stress that all results from outside labs or urologists are inconclusive. It would seem then, for the vast majority of us, that we would have to roll the dice and book an expensive trip across the ocean merely for a potential diagnosis. This is crazy, inconvenient, not practical—but it might be a last shot at something for us. Man, I’m really glad you’re getting better, and I hope you have a full recovery soon. I hope that some PFS guys who are closer to the doc can take advantage and see him soon and report back. Solon, keep the updates coming!

Till now things are pretty good, and don’t forget i am a guy who went through much more than most here. I ve lost 25 ml of my testicles or even more, i have stopped measuring lately for psychological reasons.
I lost body hair was on anti-aromatases for 3 months or more, tried all hormones together or in mixes, suffered complete HPA downregulation in the past, with 2.5 yrs bedridden, muscle atrophy wtf i can’t remember what has happened to my body all those yrs.
So if i can get better which i am getting, then why not the rest of you??

No matter what one may think. It is definate that an inflammed area in the urogenital track cannot convert properly T to dht, it is a fact that my androstanediol glucuronide kept dropping in the last years from 7.6 to 1.24 lately and i haven’t used finasteride since 2003. So how can someone explain that??
I have stopped having estrogen issues since i started the treatment. I started regrowing body hair and my scalp is itchy. I also experience wet dreams and wake up with a hard on quite often, i have great energy.
Still my balls are sometimes hot and so is my dick and don’t feel perfect but i am not done with my treatment yet, and some time is definately needed after the treatment for the healthy tissues to build up.

Did the doctor say if there is a chance your testicles can recover size?

(I have my tube of lube and latex free gloves)

Why “Latex free” gloves? Are these the ones you’re supposed to use for that sort of thing? If so, why?

hi solonjk

Could you tell us exactly what the improvements you have had are?

Also what problems do you still have as of now?

Good luck!

[bluejaysfan]

Not sure if it was answered in this thread, but, what about an antibiotic cocktail directly on the prostate?

This is what I read on an Italian doctors’ website, posted in the prostate sticky section:

Keep in mind that administration of 1gr antibiotic directly into the prostatic capsule is the equivalent of a systemic dose 2.000-2500 times higher (that is, it is two to two and half thousand time more powerfull).

If I just had sexual symptoms I would be inclined to go, but what would the guy be proposing to do with men who took fin and suffered massive muscle wastage?

[solonjk]

[Lincoln28]

Prostatits can be directly linked with muscle wastage. Keep googling the symptoms my friend.

Solon, glad to hear you are starting to feel better. This is all very logical.

Im definitely going to see him. Im trying to see where I can find a few thousand Euro first.

[Lincoln28]

Just another symptom, lack of ‘squirt strength’ when we ejaculate. Top symptom of prostatitis due to blockage. I think most of us here experience this.

@solonjk

YOUNGBUCK21 the ultrasound you had lacks staining, so the doctor didn’t know what to look or how to use the computer program or i don’t know what the fuck but mine was packed in red little spots

Can you elaborate? What kind of stain is required? Solon, I know you’ve been thrown a zillion questions and have had to “defend” your course of treatment. It’s only because we’re so desperate to get a proper diagnosis and this is all new information to us. You can imagine being on the other side, I’m sure.

We’re looking for that smoking gun, we’re hoping that we can 1) get booked for the TRUS test and 2) not waste the opportunity.

Could you possibly in the simplest, most direct bullet-point list form give us a “TRUS examination guide” that we can walk into our urologist’s office with?

example:

-stain with blah blah blah stain using 20 degree lighting
-examine seminal vesicles looking for ABC
-record prostate size
-record XYZ

Whatever specific thing you can think of so that the urologist has a direct order…much appreciated!!! Sounds like you’re rapidly getting better, you seem to be in good spirits, I hope that keep improving for you; now knock it off with the cigarettes, bro!

Damn right. This is minor compared to the E.D., but still I want to shoot like Peter North again. I also like your term “squirt strength.” I was using “ejaculatory trajectory,” but let’s face it…we lost squirt strength. So is this really a major prostatitis symptom? To play devil’s advocate, are there any other common reasons why we’d be suffering this?

Not sure, will read more. I just read that the PROSTATE is the organ solely responsible for squirting out the semen during ejaculation.

Even my “piss Jet” (another term for you haha) is very weak. Thats normally a top symptom in men with prostate problems.

I’m going to Greece for this. It’s pretty certain now. Now the question is… how i can save the most during this trip? Like uh if couple of guys going there live in a rented apartment vs hostel, is it going to be cheaper? and so forth.
If anyone else is going, please let me know/stay in contact with me.

Let’s see through this if this is real. It propably is, it might not be but it’s time to be the test patient/guinea pig once again.

Great news man, Please keep us updated on your progress… When are you planning to go?

[gefinauser]

Still figuring that out, it’s either later this June or earlier in July. I’ll let you know within a day or two when that will be. I’m in contact with solonjk and trying to fish/drain/pump all the necessary information i can get to figure out my budget (yes, i’m not too rich or have a stable income).

[b][Size=4]So if anyone is doing this therapy at either of these times, please PLEASE let me know so that we can arreange a hostel for two persons. That way living costs will be reduced to 15 euros per day. Right now i’m propably looking into later this June (20th of June) but if that changes within these two days I’ll let you know.[/size]

EDIT: looks like that at this time of season the prices will definitely be higher than 15 euros. still trying to figure out which is cheaper, 1 person or 2 person room.[/b]

LAST EDIT: Nevermind, figured this out.
