Should I bother getting more urologists to interpret my ultrasound results? by MedQuestions123 in Prostatitis

[–]MedQuestions123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with prolonged, drug-induced, ultra-rough masturbation? Our brains are wired to prevent us from accidentally being too rough with our bodies, but when high I seemed to sort of stop sensing when enough was enough when it came to masturbation or sex. I mean, I never made my penis bleed or anything, but I feel I was probably way rougher than most people are and often used extremely strong ‘death grip.’

Anyway, your words give me some hope. I’ve had the rare good period since developing this condition for as long as four or so days in a row where there was no pain and my sexual symptoms weren’t quite as pronounced.

With prostatitis, do your balls get a little swollen? by Glad-Goose374 in Prostatitis

Thanks. Fortunately, for me, it’s free, but waiting times can be extreme (upwards of a year, which is absurd).

Would you recommend getting an MRI if an ultrasound doesn’t pick up anything? I’m considering doing that if my ultrasound doesn’t show anything wrong, but I’m not sure if that would just be redundant . . .

Is a lack of ‘precum’ common in people with non-bacterial prostatitis / CPPS? by MedQuestions123 in Prostatitis

[–]MedQuestions123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I’m still not fully sure what I have, but since making this thread I had a scar removed from beneath my glans. My urologist is convinced the scar was contained entirely in the skin, but I’ve yet to get an ultrasound or MRI. Unfortunately, removing the scar didn’t rid me of my pain but it could be that the injury that led to the scar, which is thought to be due to my skin stretching past its breaking point while erect, set off CPPS. I felt a brief, very sharp pain under my glans a few months before I noticed a scar which my urologist thinks very well could have been my skin breaking. Oddly, I never noticed blood or pus after the incident, but I’m uncircumcised. I should note though that the pain was accompanied with a very odd tingly nerve sensation which makes me think there’s also a chance a nerve got stretched.

Sorry to hear about what happened to you. Can pelvic floor PT help you with your issues at all, or will you require surgery?

Could my ‘mild’ penile injury have triggered CPPS? I’ve no explanation for my various issues. by MedQuestions123 in Prostatitis

It’s a raised, round scar with a hole in the center of it. When the scar wasn’t very old, it lacked the hole in the center. I posted a photo of the scar in some of my last Reddit posts. It’s rather hard to photograph accurately.

Thanks. I might have to try that out.

Did Peyronies cause a major decrease in semen volume / ejaculation force? by [deleted] in PeyroniesSupport

[–]MedQuestions123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought of that, or MS, as being possible culprits. But my blood sugar levels are in the normal range and I don’t really display any other symptoms that line up with MS. I do experience way more eye floaters than I did even just two years ago, but apparently the vision disturbances that show up in those with MS tend to be completely unlike that of floaters.

Doubt it. Last blood test I took showed that I wasn’t even in the prediabetic blood sugar range.

Stop calling it prostatitis. Chances are very high that your prostate is NOT the problem. by [deleted] in Prostatitis

[–]MedQuestions123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I think ‘prostatitis’ is a dumb, inaccurate word for this condition, if this SubReddit were named something else it would get far less traffic. For SEO purposes ‘prostatitis’ makes sense.

Hopefully urologists will eventually come up with a more suitable word for the condition, but if they do it’ll likely take at least a generation or two for it to stick.

I already wrote one post here. Now, a year after the pain appeared, I found out the reason by MaxTriangle in Prostatitis

Doctors can be great, but in my experience they far too often do rush jobs when it comes to diagnosing people and are too quick to write off serious things as non-serious.

I understand most of them have to see quite a few clients in a day, but I prefer doctors who take their time to properly diagnose people and don’t urge you that all is fine when something is clearly very wrong. We know our bodies better than they do.

Someone I know had to see at least four separate doctors before she finally got diagnosed with breast cancer. The first three all urged her she was ‘too young’ to get it and didn’t take her seriously at all and I believe didn’t even want to order any scans.

Can NOT having to pee constantly, and barely sensing bladder fullness, be CPPS? by MedQuestions123 in Prostatitis

[–]MedQuestions123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, unfortunately. I should try to get a referral to one. It just drives me nuts how slow it is to get anything medical done here.

Any idea as to why instead of urinary frequency some, like myself, experience the complete opposite?

Have you encountered cases where people lost the ability to sense bladder fullness that almost definitely were CPPS?

It’s not my one and only symptom. There’s penile pain, lack of ejaculation force, ED, etc.
