Hello,

I've read the comments previously posted, and over the last 5 months,
i have done more research on the disorder than I have for my Master's
Thesis years ago.

I have been diagnosed with non-bacterial prostatitis. Post message
prostate secretion shows a high number (20-25) of white blood cells,
indicating inflammation. However culture of post message urine shows
no growth of bacteria. Cultures of urine for chlamydia and other
pathogens proved negative. Kidney, Liver, sedementation rates were
all normal. Epididimytis was ruled out using scrotal ultrasound.

Symptoms:
Pain in the groin, testicles, rectal pains and perineal pains.
Pain comes and goes during the day, but has been present in various
forms everyday of the past 5 months.

Note: The whole thing started with a tingling feeling in the
urethra, which developed into testicle pain 5 days later. The rest
of the symptoms developed with time.

Treatment:
2 weeks of a tetracycline produced no results.

Naproxen (Naprosyn) and Voltarene were used as antiinflammatories
for 4 weeks: no improvement.

4 weeks of Cipro + Flagyl (for anaerobic cover): No improvement.

My uro is out of options now.

The pain is bad and I do not think I can live with this.

What do you suggest next: different antibiotics, something else?
I really hope that you have a constructive answer.

Best Regards,
Bo
