For roughly four months now I have suffered from prostate pain. When I had sex my first time I was given meds for a UTI that cleared up symptoms but every time I had sex protected or not protected I would get a constant prostate pain, painful urinations blood in semen every once in a while. So I stopped having sex all together which really strained my relationships and it was a hard thing for me to tell her. Next thing I know I can't even jack off without having a constant throbbing prostate pain for 2-7 days afterwards. I thought it was a UTI again but meds didn't solve thet and then waited roughly 2-3 months and now I've been on trimexphen something for 60 days and I haven't seen any help. I am starting to get super worried I have a new girlfriend and am avoiding everything because I don't want to have the pain and I really am starting to head down a dark path. I would really like any suggestions I have tried d mannose, cranberry pills, stretching, UTI meds and prostate meds.
After it goes away after not ejaculating for a while it only comes back immediately after ejaculating. I would love for anyone to help me. I have started looking into alpha blockers potentially.
I have a urologist appointment on the 4th of February but I don't know what to do until then I would love help
Hello, guest.
I'm sorry to hear about the prostate pain and urinary symptoms you've been experiencing, especially since they are impacting your personal life and emotional well-being. It's good that you have an appointment scheduled with a urologist, as they are best suited to diagnose and treat these kinds of issues.
In the meantime, here are a few general considerations that might help:
-
Continue Avoiding Aggravating Activities: Since you've noticed that sexual activity, including masturbation, exacerbates your symptoms, it may be wise to continue avoiding these activities until you've had your appointment. It's a challenging decision, but it seems to be a necessary one for your comfort at the moment.
-
Pain Management: For the pain, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be helpful, but always use them as directed and be cautious of any potential interactions with your current medications.
-
Stress and Anxiety Management: The stress and anxiety from dealing with chronic pain and its impact on your relationships can exacerbate your symptoms. Practices like mindfulness, meditation, or gentle yoga can be beneficial for managing stress. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider speaking with a counselor or therapist who can provide support and strategies for coping with these challenges.
-
Discussing with Your Partner: Open and honest communication with your partner about your health issues and the associated challenges can be crucial. Understanding and support from your partner can help alleviate some of the emotional strain.
-
Prepare for Your Urologist Appointment: Make a list of all your symptoms, the medications you've tried, and any questions you have for your urologist. Being well-prepared can help you get the most out of your appointment.
-
Exploring Alpha Blockers: You mentioned considering alpha blockers. These are often used for prostate issues, but their suitability for you should be assessed by your urologist.
Remember, while waiting for your appointment, focus on self-care and managing your symptoms as best as you can.
Best of luck.
