Well guys a diagnosis

[calguy]

Well I have prostititus as he coud see the the prostrate was inflamed and he said definately my problem. I think I agree as I have the symptoms as most guys who visit for same reason. My qestion is what now? What will help and any idea what I can expect. It seems most guys find success getting treated for chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome here but what about prostititus. Is this progressive? Should I look into Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol or is that just for CPPS, I have friend that lives right standford. Worth a visit to better uro or just go with diet, any accredited quercetin product and relaxation???????

I also had an inflamed prostate, or "prostatitis", via cystoscopy. See the link to what we call pelvic myoneuropathy in my sig below. An inflamed prostate or bladder or testicle is part of the whole picture for many men.

As webslave says, read the board and work at it. Unfortunately there is no silver bullet for everybody - although different approaches work well for different people - and it may take considerable time and effort to improve.

In other words, it's really up to you now.

Uro said he could see red on both side of prostrate said kind of looked like chapped lips look. I guess red goes with inflammation though. I dont remember if he said there were little bumps in same area or not(valem made me sleepy). Could that be anything else? My uro definately not much help.

I thought Dr Wise said these conditions had little to do with the prostate itself and more to do with muscles ,nerves and stress in the pelvic floor

[calguy]

So do you guys think it would help to see PT to work on pelvic muscles or should I try prostrate massage. Just trying to figure where to start.

Gee, this question comes up weekly, mainly because people are not prepared to read, carefully and slowly, the page on pelvic myoneuropathy (see link in my signature below).

The condition is not CAUSED BY the prostate but the nerves involved can and do affect the prostate and/or bladder and/or testes.

Ok webslave, so my inflamed prostrate is caused by nerves? I can understand the pelvic region being affected but your telling me that can directly cause the inflammation? Do you think I should take a trip to stanford next year(only about 4hrs away) sometime and what about prostrate massage. I know you heard it all before so your the one to ask. Thanks for the help and patience!

For almost all of us, this condition is caused initially by the brain. There is an unconscious guarding response to a trigger (stress, trauma, previous infection) that sends heightened stimulation to the pelvic nerve plexus. This creates trigger points in the affected muscles and also sets off inflammation of various kinds in the organs right at the end of these nerve branches. This is not something we've dreamed up; it's actually demonstrable in lab animals.

I absolutely think that you should take advantage of your position near Stanford to make use of its resources!
