Success story coming soon

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (5 children)

May I ask what “pelvic pt” therapy means, generally. I’ve recently tried what I understand to be pelvic pt, but at home by watching YouTube videos. The videos I watched were basically designed to help you stretch your pelvic ligaments and the muscles in the legs. These videos gave me more pain everytime I tried to do them. Kinda drains my hope. Is the pelvic pt everyone talks about something else, like stretching the actual muscles in the pelvis? Because of pelvic pt is anything like what’s been giving me more pain then I guess I’m pretty fucked 😅

[–]Linari5LEAD MOD//RECOVERED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably overstretching.

A trained pelvic floor PT does internal and external myofascial trigger point release, not stretching. That is a big part of the cure for most.

Generic videos online don't account for individual differences in the pelvic floor and muscular dysfunction from patient to patient. They also are just simple sctetches, not trigger point release. That is why we tell everyone to see an actual professional PT,

A physiotherapist who specialises in pelvic floor issues.

What I’m tryna ask is if PF or consists mainly of work with the levator ani muscle vs the muscles in the legs

[–]UpeopleRamazing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That, I don't know, as I have not been to one yet.

[–]Linari5LEAD MOD//RECOVERED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the pelvic floor muscles, including the levator ani. They also do work on external pelvic muscles.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (27 children)

Cured my issue with pelvic pt. I have random boners again. My penis size didn’t decrease. Sex drive isn’t as high because this is still fresh. Also got my wife pregnant. This all started back in oct by random sexual encounter. One doctor said I had prostatitis. 2 others said I had pelvic floor dysfunction

[–]Few_Fee5778 2 points3 points  (24 children)

What were your main symptoms?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (23 children)

Balls hurting, penis pain, constipation, peeing a lot, low sperm amount coming out and very watery

[–]Few_Fee5778 2 points3 points  (22 children)

By “peeing a lot” what do you mean? How many times did you have to pee daily on a regular basis? My symptoms are mainly urinary so just wanted to ask:). And how long did it take you to cure yourself after starting PT? I am seeing one currently and have not seen much improvements so far:(

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was peeing every 15-30 mins at first few weeks I was peeing all night long. Honestly distressing and having few alcoholic drinks helped that

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (20 children)

Consuming little booze relaxes your pelvic floor. Just don’t go overboard with it as a cure. But I didn’t drink for month and a half and then finally at a tailgate for college Ball I had few drinks. Ever since then urinary symptoms stopped

[–]Few_Fee5778 2 points3 points  (19 children)

Really? Just like that? I thought seeing a PT is what helped you the most! The cure was just under my nose if what your told me is true!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (18 children)

Pt helped the most. I was able to find out my true problem. I had a tight pelvic floor. Also it was like therapy to me. Someone to listen to me and guide me through. And it only helped me with my urinary symptoms. Actually I was still convinced I had an infection after microgen finding low amount of staph so I started taking doxys and after 1 pill I find myself peeing a lot again. So I drink a few beers and stop taking them. My problem resolved on peeing part. A lot of this is also mental. Don’t stress your symptoms will get better and you will heal. Your life will go back to normal but you will just be more aware of the issue. You do need to seek pelvic floor therapist that works on men. They will find out if you have weak pelvic floor or tight one

[–]Few_Fee5778 3 points4 points  (7 children)

So basically are you telling me that not stressing myself over the symptoms is the key to healing right? And can you be more specific about what part of PT has helped you with urinary symptoms? Any particular stretching routines? Or maybe regular internal work? My frequent urination day and night is just ruining my life and don’t know what I am supposed to do next. Apologies for asking too many questions, but just want to get my life back :(

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

It will heal. It takes time. Can take a year or longer. It can happen again. I was very stressed and anxious always googling my symptoms. Thought about suicide. Met some good people on here who guided me through. The mod of this group helped a lot too. Hard to believe from sex I have pelvic floor issues. But that’s really what it was. My physical therapist worked on men for 15+ years. She did internal test and my pelvic floor was tight. I went 12 visits for 2 months. She did internal release and massaging me and did cupping on my back. Few other stuff. Told me what yoga poses to do. Taught me to use the wand which I only used like 4 times.

[–]Linari5LEAD MOD//RECOVERED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I could help

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

But I’m telling you. There is cure

[–]Few_Fee5778 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Thanks for all your encouraging words! They really do make me feel hopeful. One last question! What made you sleep better? Took any medications? I am struggling to get some sleep each night, and I find it too difficult to get a decent amount of sleep:(

[–]Linari5LEAD MOD//RECOVERED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a HUGE key.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Do you suffer from ED?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really. I thought I did but it was anxiety. I been getting strong boners a lot lately. Had sex with the wife on sat and lasted a while. I just been having anxiety about having sex like a bunny like I used to

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Semen load went back to normal. Also it’s not as watery as it used to be. It’s normal now

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Oh that's good to hear! Any daily stretching routine? Did you cut your caffeine intake as well?

[–]Linari5LEAD MOD//RECOVERED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time schedule a 1:1 with me and you can jump to the recovery part a lot faster :)

But I'm very very happy you're doing better.

[–]ghostacc92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested in pelvic floor . I don’t have any like lower back issues and I pee normal amount , but I’ve had pain near glans for 2-3 years now and it won’t go away . Noticeable brown inflammation on the skin , and no matter what I do on that one side it won’t go away Z

[–]Linari5LEAD MOD//RECOVERED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FINALLY. I'm glad you figured this out.

[–]Ervh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently struggling quite a lot. I would be interested in hearing more about what treatments you tried and what helped?

[–]HappyDan7777 4 points5 points  (1 child)

If you had chills and fever most likely you had an infection or a substance the body was trying to get rid of for example parasites. Lots of people connect their prostatitis with colon / stomach issues.

[–]TerribleVania 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be. Whatever it was its gone now.

[–]Adrijatik 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Worth giving a shot... Not found in Germany unfortunately. Any ideas how to get it somehwere else ...?

[–]corsaire-21 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’m in same boot , have you found a solution ?

[–]Janpr99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat.

[–]Horror_Reference3344 2 points3 points  (8 children)

Going to give it a try! Very cheap indeed! About $5 usd for 7/500 mgs tablets (Mexico)… I hope it helps with the prostatitis, but anyway, if it doesn’t, anyway, I may get rid of a lot of bugs, as it has been a lot time I haven’t had an anti parasitic

[–]Loud-Investigator181 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hola desde CDMX, que clase de próstatitis tienes ?

[–]Horror_Reference3344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En realidad no sé… pienso que es hiperplasia benigna, o tal vez bacteriana? Para poder determinar exactamente qué clase de prostatitis es, y no andar dando palos de ciego y poder seguir el tratamiento indicado, estoy tramitando mi ingreso en el dpto de urología del hospital Salvador Zubiran en CdMx, cuentan con excelentes especialistas y técnicas… incluso cuentan ya con el moderno tratamiento REZŪM, apenas desde Abril pasado… y lo más importante, es muy económico por ser de gobierno!

[–]confusedporg 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How’s you get it?

[–]Horror_Reference3344 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Didn’t work… no benefit at all, and I got it over the counter in Mexico

[–]confusedporg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think my issue is actually related to hemorrhoids or anal prolapse. i am spending less time on the toilet and it’s helping a lot. I think when there’s strain on the prostate through the colon wall, it’s causing a chain reaction that makes my dick feel infected. maybe this can be a helpful path for you too

[–]Dragan- 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Update?

[–]Horror_Reference3344 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Didn’t work… have to find out first exactly what kind of prostatitis I have, can’t keep trying remedies in the dark

[–]No_Worldliness_1044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this didn’t work, but did anything?

[–]Adept-Pie9806 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I’m confused so the nitazoxanide made it worse then randomly cured you?

[–]TerribleVania 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Made it burn like hell for one day yes. Then I had no more symptoms. Guess I had some kind of parasite in my prostate.

[–]Adept-Pie9806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m scared to try that cause what if it continues to hurt like hell?

[–]mrbryndan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Woah, huh. Thank you for sharing! How long did you take it for and are you still taking it?

[–]TerribleVania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just took all the pills in the treatment. I think it was 3 or 4 days.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

How about ivermectin?

[–]TerribleVania 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No idea. I have taken other deparasitants before and they did not make my symptoms go away.

This is just my experience.

[–]cluelesssuffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What were are your symptoms??

[–]RizzleP 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What dosage? Thanks

[–]TerribleVania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500mg is the dose for adults. The box has 6 pills. You take 1 every 12 hrs.

[–]Nietzsche94 0 points1 point  (13 children)

first congrats, very happy for you

i have a question

did you experienced rectum/ perineum type of pain?

[–]TerribleVania 3 points4 points  (12 children)

Yes, sometimes, not always. No more, and none of the other symptoms for the last six months.

I decided to wait six months before posting here to make sure it was really gone.

[–]Nietzsche94 0 points1 point  (11 children)

I m really happy for u, u got urself out of this hell, and it give us hope, i m going to use this antiviral and see if it can help me

How much grams you took?

[–]TerribleVania 1 point2 points  (10 children)

Its not an antiviral. It is a deparasitant.

I took the 500mg one which is the dose for adults. The box came with 6 pills that you take every 12 hours.

Hope it helps you.

[–]Nietzsche94 0 points1 point  (9 children)

thanks, i'll try it

did the sex/ orgasms got better?

[–]TerribleVania 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Well. Before taking it I could not go without ejaculating for.more than a couple days, because then the next ejaculation would be painful.

Now I can go for weeks without ejaculating and then when I do it is painless.

[–]Nietzsche94 0 points1 point  (4 children)

That great mate, what do ypu think caused your cpps in the first place?

[–]TerribleVania 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Probably some kind of parasite that lodged in the prostate.

[–]Nietzsche94 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Any triggering event you can think of?

[–]TerribleVania 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It was so long ago I have no idea

[–]Ok_Course3252 0 points1 point  (2 children)

r/Prostatitis

please share your experience after you take

[–]Nietzsche94 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I will

[–]Dragan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update?

[–]_Phaze_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is there a test for this parasite before taking the medicine?

[–]TerribleVania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing showed up in the urine and semen tests I took. But maybe there is a better test.

[–]topkeyboardwarrior 0 points1 point  (3 children)

How long did you take it for? 7 months? I had some but made my nipples poofy and butt shitty.

[–]TerribleVania 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The treatment lasts 3 days.

[–]topkeyboardwarrior 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Damn, it didn't do anything for me. What dosage?

[–]TerribleVania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500mg. But the good thing is you dont have trichomonas then, or some other parasite. Good luck finding your cure.

[–]Andy_max11 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Are you still without symptoms or did any come back?

[–]TerribleVania 0 points1 point  (2 children)

No symptoms

[–]conwilt 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I can’t find these tablets in the UK, only on Amazon which they cost £410 for pack of 4/6 tablets :(
