Prostatitis

This past summer I had 3 kidney stones I ended up passing 2 of them. About a week ago I started to feel as if I was getting another kidney stone, made an appointment to see my Urologist. He told me that I still have 1 of the kidney stones(2mm) on my left side. After telling him that I have been having difficulty urinating, pain in my lower back, butt and legs etc. he told me that I have Prostatitis. He put me on 500 mg Cipro twice a day along with Rapaflo 8mg at night. I am also having difficulty getting fully erect and can not orgasm during sex. After doing some research I found out that Prostatitis can be brought on by Jelquing and other penis exercises which I have been doing for a couple of months. Has anyone else get Prostatitis from PE? What is the recovery time? Is there anything else I can do to speed up my recovery any HELP/Info is appreciated!!!!

I get alway prostatitis but with no symptoms on urinating.I just feel something like burning in the anal area.I think that streching and anxiety make flare ups...

A lot of things can lead to this condition--such as infrequent ejaculations or taking certain meds, for example, high blood pressure meds. This was my experience. My internist put me on a high blood pressure med and within a few weeks, I developed non-infectious prostatitis. He told me it was nonsense that there was any cause/effect relationship between the swollen prostate and the bp med.

I had it for a year, and it got so painful, I finally went to see a prominent urologist at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NYC. He was an older man, but seemed quite knowledgeable. He examined me and then I told him my story. He confirmed my suspicion that the bp med that my internist gave me was probably (medicine is an art, right? like p.e.) the med that started the bout of prostatitis. He said to me, "Listen to your body and you can't go wrong." I've followed his advice ever since.

Twenty years later, my urologist and internist both told me to ejaculate often to prevent prostate cancer, etc. Painful conditions USUALLY are not a sign of cancer. Unfortunately, cancer often remains undetected until it is too late. That's why it's often called the "silent killer.'

Get the psa test every year when you hit forty and get a regular prostate exam--even if it's embarrassing or uncomfortable. I say better safe than sorry.

What blood pressure meds were you on? I take Norvasc and Diazide HCTZ. My PSA levels are almost non existent
