Thank you Dr. I will do what I can. I have been on antibiotics since this past Thursday evening and I feel better already. The Urologist I saw also massaged my prostate, I believe that is most likely why I feel better at the moment. He said that releasing some of the built up fluid can help relieve pain. I'm not sure why that wouldn't happen with a normal ejaculation. Oh well, thanks again.
Hi,
Prostatitis can be due to infection or can even occur in the absence of infection.
This needs to be diagnosed on urinalysis, preferably from a sample collected immediately after ejaculation. Treatment is based on the antibiotic sensitivity of the organism and is for a longer course of 15-20 days.
Try to avoid prostate irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, citrus fruits, and spicy foods, and drink plenty of fluids. Additionally, you will need to avoid sitting on hard surfaces or for prolonged periods of time.
It has also been reported that megadoses of vitamin can help treating prostatitis.
Do keep us posted on any further doubts in this regard.
Was I over looked? Anyone have a suggestion for me?
