I am a 23 years old man, living in Denmark, Copenhagen. I hope my English is understandably.

Please read my message about prostatitis, can you tell me, if this is the same symptoms as you had experienced.

I would first do my disease process clear to you, then describe the symptoms as those are experienced: I have now for over 1 year had pain comparable, to those described as Chronic pelvic pain/prostatitis. Sometimes it's so unbearable that i just cry like a litle baby girl. I have kept a half year break from my university, because of this disease.

It started by me in a period of very sedentary work, sudden (within 1-2 days) experienced severe pain below the penis (just where the testicles are) and along with the penis (if I pressed on the urethra/"corpus spongiosum") Every time I changed position from seated to lying in bed, to go, do fitness or just touched the area, stood or sat down or crossed my legs it would feel like electric shock was send into the penis, it was crazy (ONLY lasting the seconds it tooks to shift position SO that was like 40-50 times a day) Fortunately eased this pain in its strength, I would say if it was 10 on a scale, it has now assumed a chronic phase I would describe as 3-4. Which has lasted the last 3 month.

Have done cytoscopi, scans of the penis and bladder, 4-5 test for all STDs, over 50 tests for inflammation (have a home kit) and 4 test for inflammation at the doctor (the last 3 month), ALL negative. Been studied by prostate massage. And have a total of 18 visits from 6 doctors, including my brother. Medicine tested: Alfusozin, antibiotics (tetracycline) haven't worked for me.

One of the doctors have recently commented my penis head, which is clearly red and swollen and has been since onset of symptoms. The red and swollen meatus (penis tip) seems not to be related to chronic pelvic pain (or prostatitis) from what I've read, for example from Wise Anderson.

These are my symptoms:

- When I pee, there's a bit irritation inside the urethra. I must "milking" and shaking the penis, 10-20 times, after I urinated. But it is never enough. The urine is still inside the urethra, when I leave the toilet. Sometimes it can be "triggered" when I sit down or move around in different positions. The feeling of urin in my urethra is very unpleasant, maybe one of the worst in my condition.

- My panties are always wet after I have urinated.

- The penis tip is red and clearly highlighted, swollen, (as a red mouth with two lips), sometimes 1 millimeter high.and very sensitive.

- Muscle "spasms" often most marked just below the testicles and the closest to the rectum. The rectum can also sometimes spasm a bit. In fact my penis also spasm like + 20 times a day, when I am sitting and relaxing, it

- Pain during sex along the underside. And when sperm release: Directly unbearable contractions in the muscle below the penis (possibly prostate)

- Reduced urine flow

- Pain along the urethra (the outside of the penis as if it is hyper-sensitive) When I press on the urethra it is making it worse.

- Pain in the ass, inside, as if you have hemorrhoids, or cuts high in the rectum (Well maybe it is prostate?)

- Pain in the penis, largely located everywhere, primarily along the "shaft" and sometimes a throbbing pain in the penis head as I pounded on it with a stone.

- Pain in the penis tip when I hit it but also just generally electrical sensations in the penis tip.



BUT i do not have frequent urinating?


Best regards Phillip
Hope to hear from you

tetracycline is a shit antibiotic. I have read a few posts here and there on internet that it is not the greatest. I think u stated ur from Canada ? you should have been prescribed more than they have given you. seems like you are getting screwed by the doctors. lots of tests yet they don't do to much about it.

sorry I can't remember every thing you have stated in your post. have you seen a urologist ?

I am suffering from chronic prostatitis currently. and it sucks but I am no where near as bad as you. I had chronic pelvic pain many years ago when I had a UTI infection and it doesn't get any worse that chronic pelvic pain. pelvic pain is a nighmare !!!

In my personal opinion you should get a doctor to prescribe you Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim or as most doctors call it the sulfa drug.
I can't take it because I'm allergic to it and it makes me very sick.  but sulfa is usually used when other drugs fail. and is actually prolly the strongest antibiotic pill you can get. when other antibiotics fail doctors usually prescribe sulfa and most of the time it works.

you should also suggest shots. a shot goes to work a lot quicker than pills. thats the thing with pills. it could be a hit or miss.
and since the doctors do not know the bacteria you have . they could be playing hit or miss and prescribe different antibiotics and then you suffer for weeks on end only to find out. welp guess that pill did not work.

shots are quicker. and you should notice by next morning if there is any improvement

I would also like to suggest a test you should ask your doctor to perform  if you have not had it performed yet 

have them do a prostate massage and  that makes prostate fluid come out of the penis and doctors can analyze it for bacteria. and they can also do semen analysis and examine it for bacteria as well

Hi Phillip, I read you post and it seems (like a lot of other sufferers) that this started during a period of great stress in your life. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The latest research by "the man who wrote the book" on prostatitis J Curtis Nickel this is a disorder caused by the brain, thus it is psychosomatic. It seems strange that all these sympthoms can be caused by stress but it seems to be true. For me flare ups are coming when I get stressed and diminish when I feel relaxed. Please try relaxing tapes along with meetings with psychologist or someone else who knows cognitive psychology.

As for antibiotics, they are useless. Any improvement you seem to make is from the relaxing feeling that they will solve the problem combined with their anti-inflammatory capacity.

To relieve sympthoms you can eat NSAIDs and alfablockers. Alfablockers makes the muscles of the pelvis relax but also have a side effect of lowering your blood pressure, so they should be used only when given by a doctor.

Lycka till!
