As of now I'm have only used valium in small amounts, fish flax and fish oil, probiotics, IntestiMax, colostrum-no drinking "only bottled water". Tried red wine seemed to have no effect go or bad "other then a hangover" since I'm not use to drinking. Flomax seemed to do nothing-before the ...

There also seems to be a connection between prostatitis and sinusitis as an autoimmune problem triggered by varies events. While the event is over and biology wise your body returns too normal over time-it's suggested that the problem or problems associated with the event still persist ...

Sinusitis is very common in men with chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (it's also common in the general population too, but seems even more common in our group). We know that men with chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome and/or IC (and women with IC) have a much ...

Thank you for the information. I mentioned to Dr Bahn that the left side felt worse then the right, which showed little or no build up. I was actually doing well until a URO caused a flair up. One interesting note is after the flair up my sinus problem worsened. I believe there's a ...

I did the ultrasound that showed a long history of an infection.

Mike, what does this mean? Ultrasound cannot visualise infection, as far as I know.



Dr Bahn was referring to the amount of calcification I have on my right lobe. He stated it is formed as a result of an infection-It's hard to ...

Hope it goes well. Some people here have reported success with injections so fingers crossed. More importantly it's not going to cost you $20K and Bahn has actually published his results which are quite encouraging.

Thank you Sleeper for your support.

Actually Dr Bahn never did charge me for the ...

I started this thread on the prostatitis--dot--org web site. I thought it might be of interest here. I know that site has become an advertisement tool for overseas exploration. But thought some here may find interest in it.


Just a quick update on my first visit. I found everyone there very ...

I wasn't down in AZ-But tried the prostate massage thing that helps some people "if done by the right person". All it did was cause a flair-up for me. I find that hots baths and relaxing walks help the most-I tried the prostate massage once and learned my lesson the hard way.

It's very ...

Had the same experience with one our professionals 12 days ago. I was doing ok until his over aggressive massage-It was the worst the first week. I use to be able to sit longer without discomfort until I meet this professional. He had a temper on him; as well I should of left when I saw him ...

I went to this doctor during the 3d week of getting the problem. I went back yesterday and asked him how he diagnosed me-he handed me a questionnaire that I filled out "you add up the numbers from it" It was from a drug company. I was shocked. I looked at it again "armed with reading glasses this ...

Earlier I posted a URO proclaimed I had IC-I went to that guy today and asked him how come he gave me the diagnosis IC-He said because I have burning urine-well I said it went away. So after some discussion-I said what is bothering me right now? He did a DRE as if he was trying to cause me pain-Then ...

The IC one's a funny one as it's usually diagnosed by hydrodistension or potassium sensitivity if a test is used at all. A lot of modern Uros tend to use a diagnosis of exclusion these days though.

That said, it's an usual observation given the lack of testing although, in fairness, it doesn't ...

This URO never did a cystoscopy or any other test. I was lying on a table while he did a DRE and that is when he said, "Gee look at all the bumps". I later talked with another URO in SF that is very easy going and a nice guy, which also had chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain ...

I have never had any pain either at least in the bladder area. Mine has always been in the prostrate region.

I don't have any more urination frequency now than I did before the event. I did for a period of time the first month associated with a lot of burning and dripping.

I've never had any ...

I ejaculated yesterday after a long hold off due to the fear of increased pain.

The ejaculation itself wasn't to horrifying-I experienced some minor anal pain as well as the tip of my penis that lasted for and hour or so. I also urinated 15 minutes or so later.

But 5 hours after the event I ...
