UCPPS - Prostatitis, Interstitial Cystitis Forum

I have been practicing Yoga ever since I was diagnosed with this a couple years ago. One of the first things that I learned was how by relaxing the muscles in the face (eyes, mouth, tongue) the rest of the body is able to relax itself a lot quicker. I guess because these muscles are constantly being ...

I've noticed that if I havent gone to the bathroom for a while that my urine tends to be a darker tint of yellow. When my symptoms are flarign up then my urine has a more cloudy colour to it. When I am having a good day there is nothing out of the ordinary in colour.

Its funny the only real times I ever post anything on here consistently is when I read about something to do with mental stress or anxiety, because to me these are the causes that triggered my problems and causes that make them get worse.
Its true though when I think back to last year around this ...

gifford,

Sounds a lot like me. I too suffer from the penile pain. My pain is usually always at the tip(comes and goes) but is almost always just there in general right up and down my penis, giving me a general feeling of discomfort which at times can be more then bareable especially when I begin to ...

Yes this I understand from reading about it on this forum and experiencing it first hand when ever there is a cold day.
So what your saying is that this is a normal thing that the body does.
I dont believe the constriction is coming from higher up when this happens.
Could this cause the muscles in ...

Alright I live in Canada so right now we are entering into our Winter months which mean that the weather is getting colder and colder as each day passes. I understand how when the weather is colder that more of the symptoms of prostasitus like to show themselves.
This is my inquiry: I have noticed ...

NoMoPain

I will admit it is very easy for me to type that, but for me to actually go through with it is a long and hard process. Like I said I have begun to notice little things that would upset me. Its tough trying to not get worked up over things that you have always been worked up over. Some1 ...

I'm sorry but I had to jump in on this!
NoMoPain has it right I believe for most of us. Upon diagnosis of having this condition I have begun to realize that I myself can be a really anxious person. A feeling of uncertainty sometimes pops into the back of my head for no apparent reason. I also began ...

It took a little while for me the first time through when I had changed my diet to notice any real changes like pain going away.
However the frequency was greatly reduced after a couple of weeks of a new diet with myself the first time round.

I am just a little curious if there is anyone else on this forum who has the same symptom as this:

A bend in the penis when it is not erect.

Times when this does happen include, When I have a flare up, when I am cold, when I have to urinate badly and I am cold. I'd like to add that I do not ...

You see I am almost 100% sure that my symptoms started with stress.

And most of my symptoms return when stress is beating down on myself. One of the main problems is that when stress gets my symptoms going a whole new worry begins that is ...

I just want to comment on the comment about penis shrinkage.
Like I have made mention of in the past, stress is what triggered my problems. Just recently I had a panic attack, something I have never had before. I noticed that during this attack that my penis did change in shape a fair bit from what ...

No that was one thing that I never actually got into doing. After changing my diet and learning Yoga I found that my condition had greatly improved. (There was still some symptoms present but I had taaken them with a "grain of salt" sort to speak).
When you refer to trigger point release are you ...

Well what can I say there had been some time since I was frequenting this site in search of an answer or just assurance that I wasn't alone. Like before this site provides me with some relief that I am not alone(mind you I wish none of us were in this boat).
My symptoms started about two years ago ...

Alright this is a post a like seeing. Shortly after I had first developed my discomfort I had read that Stress reduction thereapy was good for prostatitus, including Yoga. Needless to say that I had joined a Yoga class immediately after learniong this and have had nothing but promising effects after ...
