Stress and guilty thoughts

[fobo]

I remember the last doctor I visited mentioned the possibility of chronic non bacterial prostatitis, being related or triggered by the nervous system or a mental conditions. He had just published a study and do some seminars about this outside the country (unfortunately he didn't have the material with him that day).

I remember that 2 months before I got the first symptoms, my grandmother passed away. I was very close to her as I have live always with her almost all the day, and the day she died I was outside the country. It had a killing effect on me, and it still has, the fact that I was not able to say a proper goodbye to her. Just thinking about this makes me cry of guilty thoughts. Sometimes I have been thinking of my current problems as a kind of punishment for not taking care of her in a proper manner.

How much these conditions can be related in reality?

In my opinion, it is very likely that this stress was the trigger that started the condition. It's useful that you have made this connection. I suggest you get some help dealing with these feelings, as a first step.
