have any of you gentlemen asked your urologist to give you a referral to a pelvic floor physical therapist?
This sounds to me like PFD...and it might help! Worth a try! Good luck...I know I am the only female in this thread and my issues are not from masturbation...but all sorts of things can make the pelvic floor muscles to go into spasms and then the nerves get locked into a pattern that continue to send messages to the muscles to contract or spasm and it causes pain, urgency, leaking, inability to go, going too often only small amounts, burning...the list goes on and on...also you might ask your urologist about a valium suppository...may not work but it may...also take it for a week then take a break so you don't build a tolerance to the valium...I use it only when my pain is unbearable...it can get better, but I honestly from my experience think it will ebb and flow depending on what is happening in your life, diet, fluid intake, exercise and so on...it's tough but take it a day at a time or sometimes an hour at a time even 15 min at a time on the really bad days! If I figure mine out...I will certainly share the secret! ;) I am getting botox in my pelvic floor muscles Friday and can just hardly wait...so hopeful this will be the "trick" in my bag of tricks that helps get my life back on track! Keep seeking and if your urologist is brushing you off...please get a second...third...fourth opinion...I have seen hundreds of dr.s through the years for my pelvic floor issues and some help some are a waste of time and money but it has to be done...
Have any of you tried the bladder instills? bladder distention? I am not saying this is what to do but these are some of the options...I did the bladder instills many years ago and the bladder distention a few years ago...diet played a key part for me until I had the last prolapse surgery...can't seem to get back on track now and to a good place no matter what I try...this one is tough and I have been at it for a VERY long time...unfortunately and thankfully...we do learn to adapt, adjust and live with pain...so just know you will get better!
Hello to the new comers. I been on this thread for a few weeks now. I'm trying to find someone with a solution, and is very concerning hearing that most guys with the same symptoms as myself have not found cures. I feel that long sessions of watching porn and masturbating like 2 hours is what caused this. My urologist doesn't seem to think so, but maybe no one knows what long masturbation sessions does to the body.
I am going on a year now with this issue.
First thing I went on was something that was suppose to shrink my prostate as the urologist thought it was slightly enlarged, that did nothing
Second went on vesicare, did nothing
Third did a round of anti biotics cause he thought I had a prostate infection, just got done with 6 weeks, did nothing.
I go back to him on Friday.
I am trying to completely cut out masturbation and sex. I went about 2 months with very little improvement. I did have sex last night, feels like it might be a little worse tonight.
I started wearing pads cause I'm so afraid I'm just going to **** myself. It helps when I have to be away from a toilet for a while.
I think I'm going to try and obstain again for a while and see how that goes.
Most miserable thing I have ever went through in my life. 37 year old male, by the way
Thanks for all the feedback with your situations. My initial problems started when I was 39. I have just turned 60. I feel I have just learned to live with the low grade pain for me. Sometimes worse than other times. And can go for months without thinking about it. I do think my over masturbation could be cause to make my symptoms flair. As I pretty much just masturbate most of the time once per day but for long periods, 1-2 hours with porn on the internet. It would be great not to feel the need on a daily basis and cut back to once per week for a shorter period of time. For me currently I view this as an addiction for it is far too often and hard for me to cut back. Better something like this rather than alcohol that I have not drank since the age of 36. But once again thanks for sharing here.
OMG! I’m so glad I found this community. Please accept me: I’m a 36 yr old male with severe frequency. I haven’t had a solid, consistent 8 hours of sleep since 26. I get up about every 2 hours to urintate drops. It’s about the same during the day, but I have more control and can usually hold it if I have to. But lately, it feels like I have to go every 20 minutes!!! It’s driving me absolutely crazy. Totally indentify with suicidal thoughts – even though I see the potential of enjoying life.
I’ve been to 4 urologists over the last ten years, had 2 urodynamics tests and a cystoscopy. I’ve taken Flomax, Tamsulosin and Vesicare – all of which did nothing. My last urologist told me he saw nothing wrong with prostate or bladder. He just said I have a functional disorder and that I’ll have to retrain my brain.
I masturbate about 3-4 times a week if I’m lucky. As of two months ago, I was a pretty frequent drinker, pot smoker and coffee drinker. I’ve quit all 3 and have been eating healthier and exercising when I can. The lack of sleep has been ruining my life. I work in television as an editor, so I sit a lot and have to focus intensely. I’m begninning to think I won’t be able to do my job if this problem persisits.
As mentioned in the thread, my pelvic floor muscles are probably all screwed up.
Sometimes I feel my groin area twitching or vibrating. It’s quite unnerving. There’s no serious pain when I urinate, it’s just this mild burning sensation in that area that tells my brain it’s time to pee. My bladder could definitely store more urine, it’s just that I have to release what’s in there to feel comfortable. It’s the discomfort of having to go all the time that’s ruining my life.
I’m going to reread this whole thread and write down everyone’s suggestions.
If anyone could shed any more light on what has worked and what hasn’t…that would be wonderful. I hope that everyone is doing better and has the strength to get through this.
Peace, Love and no more pissing all the time! UGH!
I believe modern medicine to be some kind of joke. Medicine is based on unhealthy drugs which cause secondary harmfull effects, most of these effects will have a terrible health impact on the long run, and most drugs are base on the principle of treating the disease rather than healing it.
I believe is important for you to do some research about your own health condition, on the drugs you are taking (drugs come with some of the side effects written on the papers that come inside the box). Also is important for you to know that there is something called holistic medicine, which uses healthier drugs and a healthier medicine.
I have the same problem, but I masturbated from 20-50 or more times a day on my puberty and now on my 37 age from 2-10 times a day. Sometimes it gets to the point where if I masturbate when I have urine left on me, I will feel this burning sensation for around 20 minutes.
If you want this to stop, go to a place where prostitution is legal, maybe Las Vegas, maybe another country. Pay money to have sex, and try to keep a healthy habbit of having sex at least once a month. As much as masturbation feels good and its cheaper than sex, to have a partner is also important, even if it means having to pay for it.
no worries...troubles like these come and go and we adjust and adapt somewhat to it...because we don't have a real big choice!
dmark7 hopefully found the answers to his problems and it now living life! I hope he comes in and chats with you as well! Through sharing is how we figure out what works and doesn't work for us!
I agree with your wife! I did the journal for years! Now I don't need to as I can just pretty much see/predict what's going on or it's so impossible to figure out no point wasting the paper...but those new to this stuff it truly is critical to write it all down so we can figure out our triggers!
Yes D-mannose, inositol and prelief are all over the counter!
Hope you can see changes for the better soon! You have been at this for a while now! I feel your pain...but keep seeking answers you will get to a better place of that I am sure!
