Bacterial prostatitis, recurring Staphylococcus haemolyticus infection in prostate

[simoncooper3]

Hi all,

Thank you for taking the time to read. I'll try and keep this brief. For the last five/six years, I've had a recurring infection of Staphylococcus haemolyticus in my prostate, leading to prostate enlargement and inflammation and frequent urination. I've taken two rounds of antibiotics, but the problem has come back.

My question here relates more to dietary changes and lifestyle factors that inflame or trigger the urge to urinate, because for me there seems to be no rhyme or reason to things. I don't drink alcohol, caffeine, smoke or do drugs. I do daily exercise. My diet is for the most part healthy, but I do eat red meat probably twice a week as well as some saturated fat and 'bad' carbs. I also usually intermittent fast. I notice that during the weekdays at work I don't go to the toilet so much in the morning or afternoon, but when I get home and have had dinner then the frequency usually picks up. At night it used to be consistently bad, but sometimes now it's fine. At weekends and if I have a big breakfast, then I usually get an urge around midday and end up going quite a lot. I say this but all these trends sometimes have exceptions. And that's what's really infuriating more than anything - the fact that I cannot seem to put my finger on exactly what causes this. I've been thinking perhaps that anxiety causes it? Or perhaps it's caused by underlying emotional factors.

I'm not entirely sure what my key question is here. I'm just looking for other people who have had experience of this and particularly those who have managed to get a handle on symptoms through specific lifestyle or dietary changes.

Thanks to all

Simon
