You mentioned on another post that your shrinking penis problems had abatted since you started taking zinc and cranberry, has the improvement continued?
A related discussion, Numb Shrinking penis, big loose numb testicles Prostatitis symptoms? was started.
Hey there Yossarian, good to hear from you!
Sorry I missed this post...yes I have been experiencing gradual improvement. I have had no retraction of my penis since taking the zinc and cranberry. It seems like it tries sometimes, but it can't "turn turtle" on me, haha :)
My symptoms are much milder now - I have gone through two rounds of antibiotics, and now am about 95% pain- and discomfort-free. However, it feels like there is still something there.
I have been using Tinactin (anti-fungal) every day and I think that it is also helping the symptoms. My doctor wife is baffled at this. She doesn't think it should help if the prostatitis is fungal in nature, because the Tinactin can't get inside the penis (actually I put a little bit in the tip, but don't shove it in, hurts to even think about that). She and I are really clueless at this point, but I'm going to continue what I'm doing until we find a cure for this horrible ****, whatever it is.
So, in a nutshell, my daily regimen:
1.) Two cranberry capsules (not sure of dosage level)
2.) One zinc tablet (I think 50mg, not 100% sure of this)
3.) Twice daily applications of Tinactin to penis/scrotum
4.) One saw palmetto tablet (I really need to check dosage levels)
