A related discussion,
so? was started.
It's funny that you would mention a diary. I kept one for 2 weeks detailing everything - emotions, what I ate, what I drank, how many times uranating - how it felt ect.... I made an excel program and kept it simple. I took it to my doctor as well as my urologist and they both said it looked really good - With respect to my diet it does not appear to have a baring on my current situation. I currently take no medication of any kind
I find what you say about a test for trichomonas interesting....Thankyou
I have a second appointment with the Urologist March 30 2009 I will take my newly found information to him and discuss the possibilities.
I will keep this post informed
Thanks again
Frustrating! Consider asking for a test for trichomonas in your prostatic fluid (you'll need to see a urologist). If this is negative, I think that you should try eliminating foods/fluids that you consume in any quantity on a regular basis. Keep a diary of what you ingest for a week or two, see what you are taking in and then discontinue each one (that is in any regular quantity) for a week at a time. Also, check your medications. Anything new over the last nine months? Talk to your physician about ceasing this for a short while. If no luck, ask your urologist about a cystoscopy (looking into your bladder with a small telescope, mainly looking for a urethral narrowing (stricture), though I think that the likelihood of this is small. I would also recommend an x-ray of your urinary system, such as an intravenous urogram (IVP).
Good luck!
