Anyone had prostatitis?
Lovely topic I know, but worth a shot ..
After a sudden injury last year I started getting pain around my ****, no specific but very uncomfortable. Over the months it's moved around a bit and recently been in pretty much all my sensitive areas.
Doctors kept telling me to live with it, so I went private. They think it could be prostatitis, I've had blood work, urine and an MRI as well as a colonoscopy and upper CT scan. Results from the MRI next week and everything else seems ok. My Prostate is normal size but softer than it should be.
They put me on antibiotics for 6 weeks and the day after I started my bladder went a bit crazy. I need a wee or at least I feel like I need an urgent wee most of the time. It comes and goes much like the suggested diagnosis of prostatitis.
I have zero faith in doctors so turned to Google .. now I have cancer, aids and I'm pregnant.
Ruining my life at the moment, the pain isn't bad, it's the fear of not knowing and the risk of further issues. At the moment I can **** fine, which is great, but I'm worried that could change .. although at this point, no reason to think it would especially whilst I'm on the drugs.
Anyone had anything similar or offer suggestions for relief?

I understand from conversation with others that the prostate is difficult to get decent amount of antibiotics into the prostate hence the long term usage. It probably a good sign that your peeing more freely. Take the whole course of antibiotics. Your body should settle down afterwards. I have taken 2 weeks of antibiotics before and it really upset my guts. take lots of probiotics to help counteract the killing of the 'good' gut bacteria by the antibiotics. I was taking probiotics 3 times a day and it did help me

Saw palmetto is great to get things moving, as is quercetin so lots of tonic water.
Cut down on refined foods and sugar, increase fruit and veg. Drinking kefir is good for health.
Less alcohol, the prostate really dislikes it.
This problem is natures way of telling you things need to change.

Assuming it is prostatitis then Ciprofloxacin is the best AB to penetrate the prostate, however its got quite a few side effects.
Prostatitis in men often causes depression for some reason so try and keep your spirits up. As long as all the scans etc are normal then you know nothing is going to kill you. It can often settle down and never come back again.
If chronic occasionally a prostatic massage under GA is suggested. Though Urologists still seem to undertake this procedure I'm doubtful about the evidence that supports it.
Good luck

Hopefully it goes away .. 8 months now the doctors have been telling me it's all in my head
