Along with the antibiotics have you increased your fluid intake? Something like cranberry juice to help with the elimination of this infection? I do not know if it will help or not but it is supposed to be a big help with urinary tract infections.

Also maybe they could prescribe a mild analgesic to help you deal with the pain being caused by the prostate infection. You do not want to have too strog of a narcotic pain med because they can and do cause there to be urinary retention by enlarging the prostate too.

You are kind of in a catch 22 but maybe drinking some cranbery juice and also increasing your water intake will help.

I have the same problem prostatitis, 36 years old. Only thing so far to help me i`ve had it 3 months is pumpkin seed oil.

Have you recovered or are still suffering? Anything help you?

I am going through the same problem. I have seen 2 dr's. The first after a rectal exam told me I had prostatitis and the 2nd sent me for all the test you can imagine even a ct scan and a painful cystoscopy. All turned out negative. He said I was fine and no prostatitis found. Now, im still with the first dr as this one found something and I have been on medication for a little over amonth now. I also heard some antibiotics can trigger the symptoms. How true can this be?
I have to se my Dr. Again this monday. I will let you the outcome.

I still have the symptoms but I am much better after using the pumpkin seed oil and quercetin. Unfortuanately I have still have some symptoms that ebb and flw. Good days and not so good. But overall no problem urinating, but I still have a little pain in the region.

Let me know what the doc says.Good luck.

Did anyone having the rectal pain that Tjai reported ever find a cause or a cure?

believe it or not ...and I know this will soud far fetched , but I was advised by my urologist to ejaculate more ( masturbate) and massage my prostate ...all I can say is that the pain went away.

I have been through the same routine as all of you.First it's the silver bullet, it's always antibiotics.Even when there is no evidence of any infection. As a matter of fact they had me on so many that I had a C dif. That is when all of your good intestinal bacterial is killed off and the C.dif bacteria take over your bowels. They all most killed me.Even though me PSA has been consistantly 0.5.Then they give you another digital and tell you that you have BPH.And they tell you that you will just have to live with the pain. You know hot sitz baths, Ice packs and take Hytrin or Flowmax.
Belive me, your pain even though it feels like it's comming from your groin,is reference pain from muscles in your thighs, butt, and abdomine. There is absolutly nothing wrong with your prostate. But your local urologist knows nothing about Chronic Myofacial pain.It would take me too long to explain. Google CMP. Chronic myofacial pain,There are trigger points in these muscles that are causiing your pain These round hard places in your muscles can be treated by having a masso therapist press on them and the muscles will release, at least you will get some temporary relief.I have been compleatly cured of any testicle, groin or prostate pain by DR Hal S Blatman in Cincinnati Ohio. He does trigger point injection in those areas and there gone for good.Belive me I was in so much pain that I wanted to end my life. I had given up any hope.When I read other peoples blogs here and see that you are going through the hell that I went through, I do not want to see you have to suffer any longer.I had been to the ER dozens of times and pain clinics that did nothing but pump me up with narcotics. If your PSA tests are low and there is no evidence of infection,do not take any antibiotics.Yes you still should continue to see your urologist for BPH symptoms, and Hytrin and flowmax can help you urinate. But don't let them con you. They want to make as much money as they can from you even though they say there is nothing that they can do for your pain

My symptoms are identical to most of those above. Did antibiotics - no help. I started on Saw Pawmetto, seems to have made a dent but I guess it can take two months to be affective and I've only been on it for 3 weeks. Cranberry juice seems to be good too. Alcohol, particularly hard stuff like whiskey seems to make it worse.

I'm wondering if Myofascial Pain Syndrome explains these cases when caffiene and alcohol seemto make it worse, while Saw Pawmetto and Pumpkin Seed oil seem to make it better, due to Myofascial Pain being muscle related.

would you like prayer so that jesus can heal you

if you have had your prostate checked and no cancer or infection, and you still have pain....IT IS NOT YOUR PROSTATE...that is not the problem...there is a book titled Headache in the Pelvis..The problem is people can carry muscle tension in the pelvic floor which can casue many different pains. I thought is was crazy at first. but I found a physical therapist who treats this type of problem...plz feel free to private message me. I have suffered from this for years and now withing 3 weeks i am 90 percent better.

I'd also look into vitamin D deficiency as a possible cause of pain. At least many people with idiopathic back pain or other nonspecific musculoskeletal pain have had pain relief from vitamin D. Vitamin D is very important for neuromuscular development and function. I've understood that also magnesium is important.

hi my husband has been having pains in his stomach along with blood when he passes fesis and also there is some sort of jelly mucus when he wipes his bottom he went to the GP and he told him that his prostate was inflamed he did a blood test on monday and the results are back today which is wednesday could this mean that it is bad news wit the results coming back so quick

I had the same experience as the individual above that mentioned Pain in the Pelvis. I have literally been to hell and back with this condition but I made it out and I am now 100% healed for the past year or so. Although it took me much longer than 3 weeks to recover I did a combination of things to help myself. It changed my life but it made me stronger because of it, and now I handle stress differently. And yes, if you do not have an infection or an enlarged prostate then you have pelvic tension/floor cramping. There is a way and don't ever give up. I've been there. Feel free to private message me I'm always glad to help someone with this. I live in the NYC area and can refer some good Dr's/therapists and activities to get you back to your normal life.

Very informative comments. I appreciate all the information published. It's hard to talk about these kinds of things in person, it helps when there are others who can help sort things out in your own head.
