It sounds more like the interstitial cystitis flavor of the disorder. Have you had a cystoscopy?

[Caedar]

The extremely high frequency of urination definitely points to an interstitial cystitis component. I'll note that cystoscopies won't catch all IC, as only a small proportion of IC patients have Hunner's ulcers, but it can confirm IC if they are present.

I did have one some years ago

[Caedar]

Have you ever tried hydroxyzine? It is a commonly prescribed medication for IC and bladder-related CPPS symptoms.

No don't want no drugs ..I'm more so looking for a cure not a cover up..if I may ask webslave how did you get better?

[Caedar]

Proper drugs are absolutely not cover-ups. In interstitial cystitis, the urinary frequency is caused in large part by mast cell degranulation, leading to release of histamine, which causes inflammation and further damage to the bladder wall. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that can break the cycle, helping to return your urinary function to normal. If you experience nocturia (needing to wake up to urinate at night), it will also help your sleep, further reducing your pain and symptoms, as proper sleep is essential to pain tolerance. Proper drugs are, of course, only a single component of the entire plan. If you read my signature, you will see that I have integrated drugs, physical therapy, meditation and relaxation, and other therapies into my plan to relieve my pain.

Do any of you fellas get symptoms after certain activity for me running walking long distance or standing in one place too long...Went for a run today and after my lower abs right above pubic bone felt really tight!!!!!,,,and my testicles felt like they swole up and my lower back fells tight

[webslave]

Activities like walking and standing can cause pain in CPPS. At my worst I even found walking difficult. It denotes severe trigger points in the pelvic floor muscles. Take magnesium supplements if you have trigger points that are this bad. Magnesium deficiency can lead to severe muscles spasms (tetany).

[Caedar]

If you do a high-impact exercise like running, be sure to do trigger point release and dynamic (not static!) stretching before the run as well as static stretching after the run. If you can, purchase running shoes that match your running gait pattern.

Sometimes when I get an erection I get this crampish pain in my right side just below my rib cage or in my hips ..Strange?? Or have any of you guys had this..

I read on here of post ejac pain...Where are you guys feeling this? ..Anyone here ever tried prostate massage?? Did it help??

[Caedar]

That cramp sounds like an iliopsoas spasm. Not sure why an erection would cause that, but you should check for trigger points there.

As far as post-ejaculatory pain goes, do you mean pain on ejaculation or lingering pain after?

[I will beat this]

Today I got a burning sensation in my lower abs after ejaculation.... only when I please myself though. As far as the iliopsoas spasm I too thought that's what it might be but am at a lost as to why it happens when it does.

[Caedar]

It could just be an instinctive guarding reaction. Try releasing your lower abs and iliopsoas, and see how that affects things.
