pruritus ani

Post by SickofCP »

My father was just dianosed with "pruritus ani". He's been suffering from a very itchy bum. Just wondered if anyone knows whether there is any connection between this and CPPS. Sounds very different, but was just curious.
Age: 36 | Symptoms: Started with urethra/penis pain. Now have low back and posterior pelvic pain. Have been doing SP since May 2004.

I have the occasional hemmerhoid/blood after wiping after #2 and sometimes a stinging pain following. But I never made the connection between the two.
Age:23 | Onset Age:22 | Symptoms:Urinary hesitancy, moderate frequency, urgency and retention, slight perinneum, rectal and leg pain, frequent abdominal/bladder pain. Red/white spotty irritation on penis | Helped By:hot baths or showers, walking and moving around, pain medications | Worsened By: sitting for a long time, holding urine too long. I'd say I'm about 75% better naturally so far.
