constant prostate pain

I too have some of the same problems the only thing that helps me is water and a lot of it. I take in about 2 to 3 liters a day. Good luck.

I dont know if anyone still checks this but for the last 3 months i have had pains in what i think is my prostate ( one of the worst feelings i have ever had ) the pain is constant and builds and builds, like toothache. I also have a dull buttock pain on the left side and burning in the left side of my groin, this comes on pretty hard and then dissapears as quick as it came, i also keep getting pains in my stomache, i think they are muscular pains (they run up the right side under my ribs and come and go.been tested for almost everything, ct scan, ultrasounds, blood tests, urine tests, poo and semen tests all showed nothing, the poo test showed i had yeast in my sample.  tried 4 weeks of norfloxacin and now trying cephalexin, my dr and i both realise that antibiotics are probably hopeless but the pain and uncomfortableness is so bad i would try anything if there is a chance it would fix me, now its hard to tell if some of the symptoms are caused by the pills or not. i orginally had some white blood cells in my urine so thats why i was treated for the uti but the symptoms left for 2-3days and came back worse.

 

had a remedial massage the other night focussing on pressure points and i seemed to feel 20-30% better the next day. the feeling is horrible like someone stirring my prostate with a stick covered in pepper.

if anyone is reading and has any suggestions i would love to hear. my next step is to come off the antibiotics and try yoga and see if stretching helps.

i hate taking the pills and from reading others experiences they nearly all start off with trying different variants to no success.

thanks for the feedback. be well.

Hi,  my Dad has exactly what you had, did you ever find an explanation?  I'm taking my dad back to hospital for the 15th time tomorrow!!

not as yet, things have calmed down a lot, i am on my 5th dr, a few of them have said its either in my head or anxiety is causing it. found a mens specialist dr who told me its either nerve pain as in the nerves in my back pressing on something they shouldnt or its muscle spasms, i have had this now for 4 and a bit months, got the drs this weekend, does he have any idea what is causing it for him ? its the worst pain i have ever felt! its not just pain but it makes you feel horrible becuase its so constant.

No relief. he is going for physio therapy on Tuesday? Not sure how that will work. He takes pain killers and lies in bed most of the day as that is the only way to get rid of the pain. I have read other peoples reports that say 3L of water per day. I have suggested that to him but today will be his first day. I'll post if that is helping any. Good luck to you!!!

i went to see my dr again today and he is convinced it is muscle spasms, told me to stretch all around the sore areas everyday.He said it definately doesnt sound like anything serious and he has had people with the same thing before so i will give it a go and see what happens, if i get no luck i will find someone who knows about backs and back muscles. i will keep you posted if i find out anymore! good luck and keep in touch!

Hi, these days I am feeling as if I have to go to the toilet although I previously was. Can it have to do with a problem with the prostate although I am 23 years old. I have read the high sexual activity and frequent masturbating can lead to prostate cancer.

Ricardob...my husband has the same problem after ejaculation. He says it hurts so bad after sex. Did you ever find a treatment for this or a diagnosis? Please let me know...we can't find an answer. Please email me at _[removed]_, as I just happened to find this site by accident.

I am 68 and I am having the same prolems, I have seen various doctors, been to emerg 3 times, had all types of tests, been to uroligst twice,tried cypro and naproxin, they can find nothing that is wrong except I have prostatis but i have no problem urinating just pain and it get worse when I sit I dont know where to go from here but it sure makes life miserable I have tried roots prostate perform it doesnt seem to help,does anyone have any ideas

I went to see a chiro after all my problems and I think I have finally found the problem. My sacroiliac joint was giving me pain. After a few adjustments all those problems got better. However something very interesting happened. My chiro was off one day so I had to see someone else. They did an adjustment on me. That night I had pains and burning constantly down below. Like it was pressing on a nerve. This lasted 3 or 4 days until my next visit. We did the normal adjustment and that same night they were gone. His theory was the adjustment was pressing on a nerve. I wouldn't have believed this unless it happened to me. Just and idea for any of those who are out of ideas.

Sounds a lot like myself. I had prostate issues when I was 16. Believe it or not males ages 15-17 have prostate issues because of growth. My issue came from drinking NyQuill every night. I have always had insomnia and back in those days I could not buy sleeping pills at that age but cheap over the counter NyQuill or off brand I could. *Which makes no sense cause NyQuill is more sought out by teens then sleeping pills * But turns out there is a chemical is NyQuill and some cold and flu meds that are terrible for the prostate. Needless to say I drank a lot and it causes swelling.

I went to several different doctors and all of them had no clue. I pissed in dozens of cups and took several blood test. And then a mom and pop doctor said sounds to me like you have prostate problems.

I quickly began researching prostate health and it can be a very very scary thing for men. Simply because without a prostate you can not preform sexually. And I don't care who you are as a male that isn't good news. No man rather young middle aged or 90 years old should have to know he can not get a hard one.

I have done loads of prostate research. And the truth of the matter is. All males have prostate pain. Now when you have symptoms like massive pain...painful urination...pain during sex and pain while sitting. Chances are you have swelling. Also known as prostatitis. And to reveal even more truth. 99% of the time it has nothing to do with infection. Which is why doctors always end up prescribing you several antibiotics. It is not going to help you. At all....

To give you an idea of it being a true fact that antibiotics are not going to work. I am an outdoors man. I travel somewhere once a year for two weeks and vanish into the wild. I have read dozens upon dozens of survival manuals. From major survival to hiking and mountain climbing. In about 2/5 of all the books I have read mainly the mountain climbing ones. They tell you a list of things to pack. Antibiotics are one thing they tell you to pack if your going to be out for a while. Now you cant just buy Antibiotics over the counter and most doctors will not write you up for a dose if you just say your going camping. In three books I could name right now. They tell you two ways of getting Antibiotics. One is going to a farmer supply store cause they sell Penicillin for animals which is the same as human Penicillin. But its just sitting there on the counter. And the second way is to fake prostate pain and you will be called in Antibiotics by your doctor and your then told to call back a few days later an say its only getting worse. One of the books even list the list the doctor will go down of Antibiotics if one doesn't work go to the next.

So needless to say....They don't work. Antibiotics are useless when it comes to prostate issues. UNLESS you have an actual prostate infection which happen two ways. They begin has bladder infections and slowly infect the prostate if the bladder infection isnt addressed. Or two you get a bacterial attack from sex and inside of coming from the bladder the infection comes up your urine track and attacks the state first. If this is the case and it is a real prostate infection. Sulfur or Silver water is the best Antibiotic.

Now...as a male you have to understand one thing. Your prostate is just as important as your heart. Now you can live without it but the quality of life you will have will be very questionable upon its worth. So it is very...very very much worth the knowledge and time it takes to take care of your prostate.

So take it from me someone who is approaching 30 and suffered prostate pain for many years before I decided to make it my number one health concern. And believe it or not. If you take care of your prostate and do it right....95% of your body will be healthy to. Like for example....Did you know that most prostate diets and natural herbs...are the exact same as hair regrowth and hair loss prevention diets? And being a male from a family whos trhee uncles were all bald by the time they were 25....and being 29 and I still have a head full of year I think it has some value yes?

First off there are two things you have to give up if you want a healthy prostate. 1. Vices....* Cigarettes, Weed, Alcohol, Caffeine * These things are number one causes of prostate issues. Weed being number one because of the iron your blood soaks up from it. Coffee holds caffeine which is terrible for not only your sex life but more importantly your prostate. And something even worse is Soda. Soda should have a label on it that says * Prostate & Eyeball eating acid * Soda...even clear Soda's that claim to be Caffeine free eat away at your eye sight and your prostates health. But....believe it or not...water...is the worse liquid for you. Because 90% of tap water contains Florida which is bad for your reproductive system and bottled water contains BPA. A Chemical from the plastic that is also bad for reproductive and is believed to be leaked to cancer. And Cigarettes well that goes with out saying.

The second thing your going to have to give up is any dreams you ever had of being a body builder or having a massive build. Because unless you plan on eating lots and lots of wild turkey and deer. Your not going to be getting the amount of protein it requires to become massive. Hormones in red meat, dairy, and high hormone leveled chick is a NO NO! And most basic prostate health writings out there. The ones you find in magazines or you guessed it...body building magazines are not at all good for you. In fact that put you in a faster car down the road to prostate cancer. Because most of them have you eating huge amounts of sea food. As does most books or magazine diets that claim to improve your sexual performance. The reason they improve your sex life is because it pumps you full of ZINC. Zinc puts your reproductive system on a 24 hour 7 day a week working shift and as a result your hormone level rises and you feel like it is your freshman year of high school again. But what they fail to tell you is. To much Zinc increases your risk of Prostate cancer by at least 50%

So...you...like I did...have to make a choice. Healthy prostate....or...having your morning coffee and eating junk and suffering for the rest of the better years of your life.

If you choose healthy prostate. Then it takes will power and trust me. It is easy to give up after a week of no coffee in the morning or no nice steak and eggs for dinner and still have prostate pain. But after a little bit....after about a month. You will notice a world of difference.

The only meats you should eat. Wild Turkey, Fresh water fish but only about once a week, and deer. Any other meats carry to many man mad health issues and to many hormones that effect your prostate.

If it comes from a cow don't eat or drink it. Simple.

Eat Eggs only if you can get farm eggs from someone who does not their chickens hormone shots or flu shots.

Avoid Calcium in large amounts. In fact the only sources of Calcium you should be getting should be from soy products and dark green produce. Calcium is leaked to early prostate cancer and causes testicular cyst.

If you take a multi vitamin...stop. Because none of them take prostate health to mind. When it comes to health. 99% of all health companies rather being a company that researches and develops medication or a company that develops products such as vitamins and health shakes. It seems the last thing on their mind is your sexual health. Most vitamins for men focus on heart health not prostate health. And Multi vitamins have way to much Zinc and Calcium.

Eating lots and lots of fruits and veggies will be all the vitamins and minerals you will ever need. Avoid to much citrus as this can be bad for other reasons.

But for prostate health. Not many people know what fruits and veggies to eat more then others. This is a list of the ones that fight off prostate cancer and issues and keep your prostate happier then a redneck at bass pro shop.

: Apples. Avoid store bought Apple juice because of chemicals. Stick to juiced apples and research country living apple juice recipes.

: Pumpkin. Pumpkin is Gods gift to men. The seeds as well as the actual pumpkin are loaded with prostate health. The seeds can be taken in raw or roasted just be careful with over doing it with the salt if you roast them. And unless your mixing it with the no no's such as milk or ice cream to make holiday foods. Pumpkin is your best friend when it comes to prostate food.

: Dark colored grapes. Avoid store bought Grape juice which is just grape flavored sugar water. Dark colored grapes hold pectin. Apples hold pectin is them as well. But a handful of dark healthy grapes hold more pectin in them then a basket of granny smiths. You can also get it from quality red wine but limit yourself to two glasses pure week.

:Garlic....Garlic fights cancer and it bust your sex drive.

: Orange Core: Although it is not a good idea to eat citrus every single day. But eating the core of an Orange every daily is amazing for your over all health and prostate. I forgot the name of the mineral found it. It is about a 20 letter medical world. But one Orange core * That white twig in the middle of an Orange * is very good for your heart and prostate.

: Broccoli....A good source of Calcium....Why? because you need Calcium just not a lot and Broccoli gives you the perfect amount of it without having to drink dairy and Broccoli is natural Cancer fighter.

Now...Herbs....The most important Herb on the face of this earth for men is Saw Palmetto. Once you read about it you....if you had any doubts that God exist. Will know someone is up there looking out for us. Saw Palmetto is made for males. It is a tropical tree that puts off berries. And taken daily rather in pill form or tea. After about two weeks of taking Saw Palmetto your prostate will show you that you are well on your way to better prostate health. When I decided to devote my health to making sure my prostate stayed healthy. Two weeks into it all I did was take Saw Palmetto. Because quitting smoking after being a chain smoker for 5 years and drinking soda for 26 years was not an easy task. But I started by taking Saw Palmetto as the first step and two weeks into it...After dribbling after pissing for many years. I noticed I did not even dribble anymore. Saw Palmetto also blocks the hormone that causes hair loss and it also lowers any risk of heart problems. So even if your not willing to take full care of your prostate you should at take Saw Palmetto. Do your research about how much because each person is different.

Cranberry....Now I didnt mention this above in fruits to eat because there are several different ways. But you can buy Cranberry tea or pills. Either way Cranberry is a natural buster for urinary health and your prostate plays a big roll in that.

Pumpkin Seed Oil....you get the same results as eating pumpkin seeds and actual pumpkin but in some parts of the country pumpkin isnt always sold through out the year.

turned on Goat Weed. Now this should only be taken once every three months because it can cause hormonal problems. But turned on Goat Weed bust your sex drive like crazy and an active prostate is very good. Keeping your reproductive juices flowing and yes your prostate produces more fluid then your balls do. Is key to keeping a healthy prostate and avoiding cancer. So if your taking a get away with just you and your lover to a beach or to a cabin. Start taking it a few days before and continue while on your trip and your prostate will get lots of flow.

If you must eat meat...spend the extra money and natural raised meat. Buy it from farmers or hunters that dont use hormones or flu vaccines on their animals. And do not eat fresh water fish out of lakes that dozens and dozens of people boat and fish on. Lots of mercury. Mercury is leaked to many cancers.

Now it is going to be up to you to research prostate diet meals and there are several out there. Just stick to the rules and follow the things to eat I told you about and you will see a difference.

One thing I do twice a week is a make what I call the prostate youth drink. I take Saw Palmetto by pill but twice a week. I make Saw Palmetto tea...and as it boils I add fresh cranberry leafs. Then I juice fresh cranberry's...and fresh dark grapes...mix it with the tea and you trust me...Body Builders wished such a simple drink made all their muscles as firm and their organs feel....fresh.

Oh yes...and very important....The prostate vitamins avoid those as well. They are designed to boost your sexual life and are in the long run bad for your prostate. The m****s who put them together think that if your prostate is active you'll never have problems...wrong. So Avoid those as well.

And please forgive my typos and grammar. I am very tired waiting on a delayed flight and its very gloomy in this room.

But if anyone has questions...email me I will answer and discuss any questions.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences, and especially thanks to "guest" for suggesting the hip stretching exercises and to Scottishadrew for mentioning the chiro info. I've had the problem you've all described for a couple of months now, got my doctor to take tests and all were negative. Everyday the same pain, some better than others but it never disappeared. Well, I found a few stretching and strengthing exercises for the hips, went to my chiro the following day and told him about the SI joint issue. The next day the pain was minimal.  I followed up with another chiro visit a week later, all the while doing the hip exercises and now the pain is gone.  I feel so fortunate to have found this site.  Please, give these solutions a try and hopefully, when the pain goes away, spread the word.  Why should we have to suffer like this any longer?

First of all, if you are in constant pain, and your doctor cannot find the problem, then I would strongly urge you to see another urologist. Lying in a warm bath might also help to relieve some of the pain, if you can manage it. You might also consider using natural prostate supplements made from white button mushroom and sang huang mushroom (health professionals often recommend Prostate Ph for all natural ingredients). These mushrooms are often consumed in Asian countries and have been linked to lower rates of prostate cancer. In medical studies, scientists also injected extracts of these mushrooms into mice and found that cancer cell growth was slowed, and the size of prostate tumors was reduced.

Good luck, and hope you find a solution that works for you!
