Re: New member - common problems
Thanks a lot Webslave. I will stay on Elavil for a while then. Currently it seems that I still need to work on my anxiety. My PT offered to try rebirthing - basically some breathing routine. I hope it will help me to deal with my anxiety.

Re: New member - common problems
Hi, just wanted to give an update on my Elavil experience. Have been taking it for 2 weeks, now 10mg at night. No real side effects so far but seems that it has helped on urgency quite a bit. Down to 3-4 times a day. It has not yet have a huge effect on butt pain but lets see how it goes.
The thing what bothers me a bit is nocturnal erections - i get that a lot!! And morning discharge seems to be a result of that. I assume this issue is somewhat caused by irregular sex with my gf and I really would need sex more often.
Masturbation again is not putting my mind to ease as the real sex would probably do. It seems that I need to start paying my gf to get more physical attention :)

Re: New member - common problems
Ok, after 1 mo of Elavil, I dropped it. Didn't really improve my situation. Visited a Dr. once again and he found prostate inflamed again. He strongly advised regular prostate drainage. I've been doing it for a week and it really makes difference. Urine flow is really strong and it completely eliminates rectal pain as well which I get from long sitting. During the massage I press on around prostate as well so it definitely helps. Plus having my finger up there relaxes sphincter too. Seems that I have found something which works for me. The relief is still short lasting but hopefully over longer term I can get better results. Fingers crossed!

Re: New member - common problems
Hi Jann21,
It seems your problems are similar to mine. What caused them may be different tho, I have no idea.
But for me I believe too many ejaculations caused severe damage down there, an irritated and abraded prostate.
Lately I've been thinking the issue I have is also muscle spasm, trigger points etc etc.
But like you, the doc says I have a severely inflamed prostate, and I don't know how to reduce it. There's no evidence of a bacterial infection (altho he says there IS an infection). If you read my case you'll get a better idea.
But I want to ask you, how are you doing this regular prostate drainage? And how are you pressing on and around the prostate? Are you doing this yourself?
When I'm in the shower I will crouch down and stick a finger in, and 3 inches in, I can feel some spongy tissue, it feels like my prostate or something else; probably my irritated swollen prostate. Do you feel the same thing?
Lets help each other!

Age:27 | Onset Age:26 | Symptoms: About 12 months ago (April 2011) I began getting weird feeling in my stomach after ejaculation. It would go away after a few days. But like an idiot I continued my mad habit of overmasturbation and excess ejaculations, to the point where I ejaculated one night and afterwards felt like my stomach/abdomen was going to explode. It took almost 6 months to finally see a uro who determined that my prostate was the size of a 60 year old males. During the 6 months I tried to control my sex addiction but still ejaculated altho a lot less frequently. Cultures done, semen analysis done, rectal, abdominal, pelvic ultrasounds done. Found no bacteria growth but found "infection" in my prostate. Which I dont quite understand. Diagnosis was chronic prostatitis. Took Cipro, Ofloxacin for 6 weeks. Not much changed. Symptoms: Waking up 1-2 times a night to urinate, odd uncomfortable feeling in my pelvic area all the time, especially when I sleep. | Helped By: Abstinence, relaxation, herbal supplements | Worsened By: ejaculations, stress | Other comments:

Re: New member - common problems
Hi Charlie! I am still doing regular prostate massage and I do it myself. I lay down on one side and bring up my upper knee towards my stomach. If laying on right side, I use my left hand. Hand goes from behind the back. I am using my thumb as I cannot twist my arm to use other fingers. Of course long fingers could be useful. Stick your thumb fully in fingernail facing your back and you should feel softer tissue - that is the prostate. I am then pressing prostate gently from left/right to center position. I do not apply too much pressure, so I never hurt myself. During the massage you might feel a need to urinate, that is normal. I can definitely feel some liquids moving but I almost never get a discharge. That is ok as well, you probably flush it out with next pee. I usually spend 3-4 minutes but I am trying to massage around the prostate as well.
I have tried the massage after ejaculation with good results.
Currently performing massage after every 2 or 3 days.
Don't forget, a lube and a glove.
