i told a lot of people I have prostatitis (20+).. but no one know what it is, except for a 17 year old girl I know,she knew.. no one else. And I told co workers and people in all ages. So now instead of saying prostatitis I tell them the symptoms and that it is a kind of chronic infection.

If so many men have this, shouldt more people know what it is?

I can't believe that so many have this shit...

Hi,

Yeah, I met a guy in the hospital recently when I was waiting to have a cystoscpoy. I told him about my symptoms and he said he was experiecing something similar. He was the first actual person I'd met in the flesh who had this problem. Bit of a relief in a way, he was pretty cool.
