UCPPS - Prostatitis, Interstitial Cystitis Forum

Yes tried all the alpha blockers. Apart from retrograde ejaculation, no improvement in symptoms. But just because it didn’t work for me doesn’t mean it won’t work for you.

No anal fissures or IBS issues for me. As was mentioned, perhaps physically there is nothing wrong, but my nervous system is stuck in some kind of loop, interpreting various stressors as urinary urgency. Then again, my hips and back are super tight and all connected to pelvic floor so maybe it is ...

Hope some of this helps

Hi Elias. Sorry you’re dealing with something similar.

For me it is a constant 24/7 urge to urinate. Sometimes a very strong urge, so intense that I can hardly function and other times very mild. However it’s never normal.

After 25 years as you can imagine I’ve tried a ...

I remain with “just” frequency / urgency. No pain, but I will get aching in perineum after ejaculation unless I lie still for 30 minutes or so.

There is no doubt I have tight pelvic floor muscles and tight hips and back and of course it’s all connected. However nothing I have done seems to have ...

Hi. I appreciate this. Part of the improvement I felt during the time I did the protocol was that mentally I 99% believed that I had found the cause and cure. But 10 months in and I wasn't overall noticeably better and I moved on. I admit, I don't know if had I pursued it for 2-3 years if I would ...

I thought about going back for more after the initial 6. I suppose if I had unlimited resources I would do it just to see what happens. But with zero improvement after 6, the Urologists left it up to me, telling me he would have expected some improvement if it was the right way to go. I'm back to ...

So after 22 years or so I have seen all the standard people and had all the standard tests. Everything always 'normal' in every way.

I've tried just about every supplement out there related to urinary / prostate health.

I've done countless alternatives therapies - things like meditation, deep ...

Thanks. Maybe worth going all out and doing 12 or even 24 sessions. I stopped after 6.

I looked at Gat Gorenjust now. The thing is my prostate is normal in every way by all accounts. Maybe this theory is right in some cases of BPH, but everything about my prostate is normal.

Now if you ask Tim Sawyer and company, the muscles all around my prostate, especially high on the edges, are ...

I'm sorry to hear that you are having to deal with these symptoms.

When I go to the restroom it takes a few seconds to get the stream started and then it's very weak once it does get going.

No hard flaccid symptoms.

left testicle Varicocele - yes I do actually. Never thought it was related to ...

It's a sensation in the tip of the penis, which can be replicated and exaggerated exactly by pushing on the muscles high up adjacent to the prostate (finger/wand up the bum). So basically the sensation is always there. I wait until it's extreme before I urinate. The stream is weak and after I'm done ...

It did wonders for by back and hip discomfort and nothing noticeable for feeling like I need to urinate all the time unfortunately.

I'm not a great person to give advice as nothing I have done has 'worked'. It's the same situation for 22 years. Never feel normal. Better with regular exercise and sleep. Better after hot bath and lying down. Worse with reduced sleep. Worse after sex. Worse with stress.

I don't want to dampen ...

Did they forget to say how many treatments the patients had???

I have done 4 over ...

It's available legally in Thailand. I am thinking about it. Perhaps it would reset my brain somehow. However, you read the stories of people who went through it and no one says 'it was so great'. It's almost uniformly described as almost a psychedelic hell along with crazy vomiting, but then after ...
