@@DoctorEric Frequent ejaculation does not always help. There are many people who've had experiences of it getting worse. Personally theres temporary relief and then I have increased pain a day or two later. If it's a pelvic floor problem, ejaculation will likely cause more tightening of the muscles and therefore more pain.

After some frustrating experiences with Docs and speaking to my wife who is an MD, this video led me down the CPPS path which ultimately changed my life for the better. My symptoms were caused by pelvic floor dysfunction and have been alleviated through PT and lifestyle changes (increased mobility, less frequent masturbation, stretching and breathing routines).

Hi Doctor Eric. Would having a 4cm bladder stone cause these same symptoms. Thank you.

Good morning. I really appreciate this video. Is there any way I can get an appointment with you, Doctor Eric. I am in Houston, but I can get an appointment where I basically ask questions.

I have had gross hematuria for over 15 years start when I was 25 years old I was trade with cipro antibiotics and anti inflammatory medication. I have all these things but the VA never diagnosed me with chronic prostatitis and just recently they say I had painful urination now im 45.

Thanks for the video, I hope it will help. I'm not sure what kind of prostatitis it is, but i'm sure I have one. When I was 12, after an ejaculation i felt a sharp pain in my pelvic area, and for days I felt intense burning urinating. The pain gradually went away but what never left was a constant need to urinate, literally there's no time where I don't feel like I need to urinate. I'm now 25 and I've lived half my life like this and it's kinda driving me crazy. Also my urine is very often almost crystal clear, to the point that I feel I'm a little dehydrated. I've been to many doctors. One diagnosed me with overactive bladder, gave me some vasoconstrictor drugs but they didn't help. Another one gave me some suppositories (i'm not sure if they were antibiotics), and they also didn't help. Last one I went had me do an ultrasound where he diagnosed me with prostate calcifications, told me they should have no symptoms and suggested I did some kegels, which I have been doing for a month but i'm not sure they're working. I should add, the only symptoms I have are frequent urination, low urine stream pressure, and like a sharp pain along my urethra if I touch my pelvis. I've been looking for what could be for years...

Hi doctor, all of the symptoms you just mentioned I am going though, I saw a urologist a couple of days ago and he didn’t even check me physically and opted for a cytoscopy test, I said no… I’m from out of town and would like to book an appointment with you

I hv had ureaplasma, trichinosis and expel. After a lot of antibiotics all bacteria are shown clear in PCR test. But no improve on voiding. Can TURP or holep help in this case ?

there is a small intraparenchymal calcification of the prostate gland based on a CT scan with a volume of 29 cc. Do I need surgery because I often urinate every 3 to 4 hours. If I wake up to pee up to 4 to 5 times which makes me stressed, what is the solution. The urethra is sometimes hot and the bladder is sometimes hot when urinating too late.

I found your video very informative! I've been suffering with the type of problems you discuss here. My GP has sent me to the lab for urine culture, that came back negative. Is it possible that this issue could be caused by "occult bacteria" that cannot be cultured in a standard broth culture? Would a PCR test for occult bugs like mycoplasma or chlamydia be a lab test to use? Thanks for putting your video up.

Thanks sir, from india🙏🙏

I road bicycle a lot in mid May to Oct (66 to 88 km /wk) and always have pain in the perineum area at first but it lessens with time. I wear padded bicycle shorts which helps but for a long time just used a gel cover on the bicyle seat. Can this result in non bacterial prostatitis? I thought nothing of it until last Nov when my Dr told me I had a PSA of 16. I was retested and 20 days after the first blood draw my PSA was 21. I have had BPH for 20 years or so. My urine was neg for bacteria. I had a CT scan for cancer and it was normal but CT isn't useful for prostate cancer detection. I am having a prostate biopsy this week. My urologist told me that, when PSA levels swing fairly eratically like this, it is almost never cancer so I am hoping that I have non bac prostatitis. Other than some pain when I sit on a bicycle seat I have no pain or symptoms and the high PSA was a complete shock. I would have had an mpMRI before the biopsy but the waiting time here was too long so the Dr said a biopsy first would be best. I am 71, BMI of 20.4, very active, run 24 mi/week (less in summer when I bike, too), have been intermittent fasting for a year, have been doing Wim Hof breathing and cold water (showers} exercises for 3 mo as well as 2 -3 saunas/week. No other medical problems, no family history of prostate cancer, eat well, take vitamins and suppliments.

Hi Dr. Eric! Thanks for your video. I definitely fit the pattern for chronic prostatitis, and my urologist has tried all of these treatments. Four years ago, I underwent a urolift and that helped with urine flow. However, it did not improve my prostatitis. I have a wonderful urologist, and he has been exploring options. He is recommending now for me to undergo a TURED. I know that this is reserved for men who are infertile. However, he is telling me that he has tried the procedure, and that it has helped some men in my case. I really hate undergoing procedures. What do you think about my particular case?

@DoctorEric

3 жыл бұрын

Unless there is evidence for ejaculatory duct obstruction (ultrasound with vasal dilation) TURED wouldn't be the standard of care. Could it be helpful? Maybe, but there isn't much evidence to support that course of action. Before opting for surgical intervention, I would certainly recommend pelvic floor physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, dietary modification, and other non-surgical interventions.

I got tx with azithromycin because I thought it was an STI but the labs came back without bacteria. But my urine sample was weak so not sure. I have noticed white floaters in my urine..othrt times like a long string that could either be mucus or something... Looks like that stuff next to an egg yolk. And then they were only there some of the time (I pee in a cup and hold it up to the light at home). Usually morning is the best catch. Only other symptom is minor itch of maybe a 1 or 2 out of 10 sometimes in urethra base. Also had ultrasound and found hydrocele and varicocele around when I had a dull pain and found out it was mostly a pulled groin or from smashing my nuts while ice skating fall. Waiting for the month to hit so I can meet my deductible and see a urologist they referred me to. I have a shitty ACA plan with 8800 deductible and have to be on PreP to meet it whether or not I'm actually having sex or not for months otherwise I can't get my checkups the second half of the year. I don't think I'm high risk compared to some of the women I know and they aren't even on Prep... Its stupid medical stigma and insurance company and pharmacy corruption.

Dr. Eric, I had Epididymitis over the Christmas Holiday in 2022. That went about 3 weeks of Bactrim and another 2 weeks of Ibprofen until it fully passed. 1 month after that and now it seems as though now I have some kind of prostatitis. I know the symptoms because I've had it years ago. Can I assume that there is a relationship between the two? Did one infection migrate to a different organ? and if so can I consider it bacterial in nature in my prostate even though all urine tests and blood tests show no bacteria whatsoever. After watching your video I'm becoming convinced I have CPPS given my symptoms. If so, I'm assuming antibiotics should not be part of my get-well plan.

@trabajosdehvacenusa7771

Yeap. Do not assume is not bacterial. Your prostatitis is bacterial 100 percent it migrated from your balls to the prostate. Bacteria had formed a biofilm inside your prostate and it will be giving you problems for some long time, unfortunately urologist don't understand prostatitis very well they get confused and they don't know what kind of prostate disease are, also urologist don't have nothing good to offer just stupid antibiotics and stupid tamzulosin do more harm than good, it's a shame that undeveloped countries have better alternative treatment than USA big pharma soldiers doctors,,,,,,, Russia, Georgia, India, turkey, have better treatment and medicines than USA for prostatitis and any diseases , ,,,,

I’ll have to wait it out of there are no other solutions. I can’t believe we are not further along after 20 years 🤦🏻‍♂️

​@@seantompkins517 First of all let me say that it is an incredible coincidence to read you got worse exactly at the same period I did. Before the pandemic I was just "doing as usual", meaning having the usual ups and downs, but somehow my routine changed (in my case I started playing soccer in my backyard) and suddenly I ended up suffering miserably as I never experienced before. Strange enough to say that thanks to the immense pain I felt, leaving me hopeless, I realized that I should have deepening my knowledge further beyond the classic approach of the medicine all and only towards the prostate. The inflamed prostate is surely the beginning of our nightmares, but then the environment/structure of the prostate changes (Calcifications, Fibrosis) and so the surrounding body parts (nerves and muscles) will be affected by that change as well to cope with such an alteration. So, whilst it is imperative to keep prostate pro inflammatory cytokines down (which is very important! Exactly as I do keep control of the inflammation in my lungs due to asthma), it's crucial to improve the pelvic muscle status. And by stating above about pelvic muscle, I don't mean that with simple stretching routine you will improve dramatically, it's just a little bit more complex that many on the web claim. Infact, after many months/years of chronic prostatitis our pelvic muscles react to that stimulus by contracting more and more. I used to travel all over Europe for my previous job...man, you can imagine the pain I was getting each time, whether it was by plane, by car... I always thought...it is the prostate, and always back to the most knowledgeable urologists and andrologists...but they always gave me anti inflammatory drugs or at the best saw palmetto ...and so on... I have a plethora of details to share on my ongoing journey, but it's so long to write here everything. I might be planning to create a blog. Anyways, I would be glad to share everything with you as I emphasize since we're pretty much in the same situation, but don't know if there's a way to exchange private messages here on youtube.

I started experiencing symptoms after a stressful week anxiety went from 0-100 been on sleeping tablets. Gut issues 😔 at this point I’m seriously suicidal .

Would like to know this.my husband was examined and the doctors recommended tamsulosin for one month.then dutasteride. are these two the same?

@DoctorEric

They are not the same. Tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker that works by relaxing the smooth muscle of the prostate. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that causes the prostate to shrink. They work differently and work well together to amplify their effects.

Hi i cant even thank u enough for doing this video... ive been experiencing pain in my pines for 4 years. At first it started only after masterbation as it was very painful and tender. Today every time i pee or poo, semen comes out and i hurt for hours. I did pelvic floor therapy and it did not help and ive been taking medication for a month and still no changes. (No bacteria after exams) I begining to give up and i dont know what to do. Its very hard as im 19. Is there any other option other then trying out the surgery? Hope u see this... thanks
