Prostatitis treatment as a novel insight into Finasteride related problems

.

hi, i have finished m treatment few days ago will update u in a few weeks. i have done 30 treatments but more is required usually. Cant say anything regarding improvements as i feel worse on these antibiotics.

:astonished: Another name i didnā€™t know was out there, jesus man, a lot of guys will be coming back soon. You say ā€˜usually more are neededā€™ but why isnā€™t Georgiadis clarifying whether more are needed? surely it would make sense to do another ultrasound before the patient leaves to confirm how much inflammation/ bacteria has been reduced.

No surprise you are feeling worse. Antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your intestinal tract, leading to upset stomach and diarrhea. Iā€™m looking forward to seeing how you are doing after you are done with the pills

Yeah ive been on bactrim the past 2 weeks and my stomach has been off. Suppose thats a good signā€¦kinda.

People hi.
I was away because my work is intense in the summers.
I am steady with erection quality and strength.
I donā€™t feel extreme pleasure though, but lately i was bit by a fucking tickā€¦ Yeah and guess where??? On my dick. So i have a stupid lump on it to take care too with some mild antibiotic. This makes my stomach a bit sick.
Its strange that 4 antibiotics powerful enough to kill me didnā€™t affect me, apart from fatigue and this shit messes up my stomach so badly.

Anyways, regarding overall improvement, i am steady for the last 3-4 weeks. With erections having improved more than i expected though. So is fullness of penis. I like that.

Testicles continue to bother me, yet less as time goes by. I donā€™t stress so much about it lately, all year long was a killer. Now i only think of it once per week or twice.
But since i still am not 100% with my testicular atrophy issue stopping i am not completely satisfied.

So i guess Dr.G was correct in me needing more treatments yet i think that some vitamins should be added now to improve immune response since i have nothing else to do or no more money and psychology to travel again to Kos. Some vitamins though make inflammation worse. I have to experiment with thatā€¦

Take care ppl

cytochromeā€™s story is interesting. He had recovered completely ( according to him) after using DM but got sick after starting fin again. Did DM fix autoimmune (and inflammation caused by it as well?) response for good? I donā€™t know untill we really confirm autoimmune through some medical tests.

Just because dexamethasone has helped people it doesnā€™t mean itā€™s the immune suppression thatā€™s causing the benefit. Cytochrome, today has recovered to a satisfactory degree by the way.

ok if not immune suppression then what? would you explain?

Adrenalsā€¦

So did you ever have good pleasure since you started the treatment? I thought you said you had good libido (sex drive) which would mean at least ā€œgood pleasureā€ right?

My biggest concern is a total lack of sex drive since I started that drug.

Hi solonjk, glad to gear you are still going strong. I was curious, if you have testicular atrophy whether you plan to have hormones tested. Presumably your testosterone levels will be lower than they should be, correct?

I think solon was writing about improvements after only a few treatments and improvements reached a plateau. I canā€™t verify this though since he deleted his posts as you know

how dm is related to adrenals?

Oh shit bit by a tick on the dick rotflmao. :laughing:

Would anybody be prepared to say how much there completed treatment cost? ideally specifying the cost of each element of the trip. Anyone that managed to get a good loan in the UK also PM me.

3000 euros for the standard therapy including 30 sessions and the initial TRUS.
500 euros for the meds (just in case : After 2 weeks I just paid 80 euros for them, but it depends on your reactions)
1000 euros for a standard accomodation in Kos (some share it to cut prices).
500 euros to fly to Kos from Paris (might be cheaper from London)

5000

Thank you Claro, i will note those prices down for future reference.

I just want to give an update. I am also in Kos for more than two weeks already and I have had 17 treatments. So far I have not seen any improvement. However, we were told that it takes time for effects to show up (hopefully!). I am still very skeptical and have my doubts about prostatitis being the cause for our ordeal (since I have been to four urologists in my home country all saying I do not have prostatitis or any inflammation whatsoever). Nevertheless, there are some guys here who have seen some improvement (e.g. in morning erection).

If anybody has questions please send me a pm.

Itā€™sā€¦ itā€™s really bad !
[Size=4]sorry, just a private joke lol[/size]

keepup, you should come with us to the beach so you not over think of this
main improvements are supposed to occur after treatment, as you know

I myself have had some improvements which I did not expect so early, as I only did 10 treatements (penile size & tissue, morning erections). But anyways itā€™s too early to say itā€™s working or not. For the moment my only goal is to complete the treatment, as I almost gave up because of Cipro side effects which were SO STRONG on me. But now I am on glimbax and it seems that I tolerate it well.
