SUMMER PLEASURE!!!

[marcoita85]

Hello Everybody! It's been a while since my last post. Anyway to "summarize" in a nutshell.. passing over my story of pain I'd like to open this new thread because this year I am receiving the proof that hot temperatures really help us!! Since December 2009 I was having a serious flare with new and old symptoms..it has been a long flare with long periods of discomfort-pain and maybe some weeks of normal life...hot baths and ibuprofen was always in my routine...and my life was the same since I left Stanford 1 year and half ago..and I was waiting this summer so much because I was pretty sure it could have helped me. I was totally right!! Since summer came here in Barcelona, Spain (hot and a bit humid) I'm doing great.. no more pain after sex (even because I stopped narrowing my gluteus and pulling my abs in) , it's 2 months I am doing great and someday I feel discomfort yet, but it's a completely new life again! It's incredible it is as good as the last year (the first for me in Barcelona) when it was hot. I know it is for this reason I am feeling good and I am a bit scared of the winter too...but the question is, Is it possible that the climate-meteo can impact so much on our disease???!!!! I am planning to go to Australia (Sidney) as far as I know there's always good weather with hot temperatures there... is that so simple??!! thank you for reading

There is always a slowdown of posting on this forum in summer because warm weather tends to lessen muscle spasm and cold weather makes it worse. You are not imagining it! :)

That is why hot baths help too.

Climate

The ambient temperature appears to play a role as cold is frequently reported as causing symptom aggravation and heat is often reported to be ameliorating. It appears that cold is one of the factors that can trigger a process resulting in CP/CPPS. Cold also causes aggravation of symptoms and can initiate a relapse. A survey showed that the occurrence of prostatitis symptoms in men living in northern Finland —a cold climate—is higher than that reported in other parts of the world. This could be partly caused by the cold climate.

I am 98 % symptom free since the warm weather. Staying hydrated is also key though, tensing in the cold is a flare-up guarantee for me

Ok guys it's clear that it helps, but why can't we all just move to a hot country? Instead of suffering in a cold one? I know..the work...the family factor..but could it be so simple?!?! I can't believe it is so wonderfully easy I mean.. Do you think that (hypothetically) we can get a lot better living in a state where the weather is almost everyday good as in Australia??

Unfortunately, even in hot countries you can have UCPPS. But studies do prove that symptoms get more frequent and worse in cold weather, so if you live in a cold climate and can afford to move to a warm one, without losing a job or uprooting a family, it may be worth doing.
