i was wondering who here has been diagnosed with Prostatitis and how it was treated?
i went to the urologist today, and he seems to think that my groin pain, and feeling sick, weak and tired is due to Prostatitis. he recommended i soak in a hot tub for 20min each day.
Skippy,
You should get blood tests done, that way you will be able to see what’s going on with you internally at this stage.
Most of your problems are probably hormonal but unless you have a blood test, you’ll never know.
See the Finasteride FAQ at the top of the forum for what tests to get.
I recommend getting your PSAs checked. Get your prostate fluid checked for any infections and also get a sonagram of your prostate.
Did your doctor do a DRE to check your prostate? He should do this as a routine checkup for prostatitis. The symptoms you are describing does fit the description of prostatitis. Where is your groin pain located? Also, check your E2 to make sure your prostate is not inflammed. Warm baths do help but is not a solution to this ongoing problem. I recommend you read the Stanford Protocol on prostatitis. This book will give you a very informative view on treating prostatitis.
PNB…did your Dr diagnose you with prostatis? Did he/she suggest your ‘draining’ method or did your come across that over the internet? Also, does your Dr support your techniques? Just curious.
Doctors can drain it for you. I refuse to set up an appointment and pay my 20$ copay when I can do it twice a day on myself.
Dr did diagnose me with prostatitis but I had to basically point out the symptoms to the guy. Kinda sad. I knew it was prostatitis the day it felt like I was sitting on a golf ball and googled up “golf ball” and groin pain. HAHHAA.
The draining method has helped ALOT!!
