I really want to check this area myself. How do you reach these without hurting your prostate? I really don't want to damage anything in there. Any advice appreciated.They are very high at one oclock and eleven oclock either side of the prostate and they insert into the prostate. Not easy even with a tool.

Re: Back in new millenium - I'm back
Age: 41 Onset Age: 27 (dec 2006)Symptoms: Urethral burning, muscular pain and soreness around the base of my penis, perineum and muscles around my sitbones. Frequency, urgency, dribbling, general discomfort in the pelvis, decreased libido, tight levator ani (according to PT) and occasional levator- and sphincter spasms. Sometimes ache in penis, especially when erected. Latest addition is testicular pain (and epididymis). Also excretions of clear (prostatic?) fluid throughout the day as well as secretion in my urine. Varying power of urine stream. Redness on tip of penis and ballsack.Helped By: Positive thinking and controlling anxiety Worsened By: Stress, lack of sleep, heavy training (especially abs and legs), catastrophizing over this condition

Find a qualified PT that understand pelvic floor dysfunction...If you have to email Dr. Wise himself to locate one in your area...Or do a search here for PT's. I wouldn't go jamming anything in there until you are trained to do so by a cutting edge PT...I'm not a doctor...

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.

Re: Back in new millenium - I'm back
Consensus seem to be that trigger points in the anterior levator ani, at one o'clock and eleven o'clock, next to the prostate causes the urethral burning. Are these reachable with your fingers or do you need to use a tool?
If trigger points are causing the burning, does this mean there is no actual urethritis, just the nerves mimicking it?
