Pelvic pain/discomfort from semen buildup?

[kelthuzad1986 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close kelthuzad1986]

I am taking several supplements to combat bacterial prostatitis. In addition to the antibacterial effects and being generally good for the prostate, some of these supplements also boost sex drive. I've noticed that my penis is more sensitive and I can get and keep erections much more easily. I also seem to be able to go less days than I could previously before needing release. I've heard of some men who masturbate several times a day and all I can think is that they have insanely high sex drives. I could usually go three days or more without having the urge to orgasm. Now things seem to be a bit different. I orgasmed last night because There was some discomfort and what I can only describe as a full feeling in my pelvis. Once again today I was having pelvic discomfort as well as difficulty urinating. I orgasmed, and now much of that discomfort is gone and going to the bathroom once again seems easier. Do some men have to orgasm frequently or else they have pelvic discomfort/difficulty urinating? Could it be that even if the supplements might be improving my prostatitis the increased sex drive causes the inner workings to flare up like they would normally if I went a really long time without having an orgasm? I'm interested to hear thoughts from other men.

Assuming by "orgasm" you mean ejaculating, correct? It's not normal to need to ejaculate daily in order to remain comfortable and urinate. You have a pelvic imbalance IMO, that's causing your discomfort. Develop a healthy K:RK routine 60:40 ratio to strengthen your PC & BC muscles. Also do yoga poses (Dog / Cat) and Hindi squats at the people gym to further develop & strengthen your pelvic balance & strengthen those muscles. Edging would also build your stamina, build control & enable you to interpret your pelvic strength & control. All this can be researched in the pre-E forums by using the search tool.

I'm honestly beginning to wonder if my issues are caused by more than just a bacterial infection. Since moving to my current city August 2014 and building a high powered gaming PC I spend much of my free time on my ass in my room. I also do not have a very good diet to be honest. Before Either i ate my mother's cooking or else meals were provided by whatever college I was at. There's just no variety in my diet anymore. I've no doubt that I have a bacterial infection, but the fact that one day the supplements can seem to be helping greatly and then the next day or even the same day the symptoms can get bad again makes me wonder if there are other factors. K:RK routine. I'll have to see what that is.

I was also under a great deal of stress for an extended period of time previously. I've heard stress can also cause prostate issues?

Should message Pegasus.

Should message Pegasus.

He has experience dealing with bacterial prostatitis?

How did you get diagnosed for bacterial prostatitis? Did you test positive for a urine or semen test? If not, I suspect that you have pelvic floor syndrome and your pain is caused by pudendal nerve compression. Where is the pain that you feel?

What is Chronic Prostatitis?

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is using the umbrella term Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes (UCPPS) to replace pain syndromes associated with the bladder:

• Bladder pain syndrome/Intersistital Cystitis (BPS/IC)
• Pain arising from the prostate gland (chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, CP/CPPS).

Although the term, Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome is used for research purposes only at this stage, it appears to be a much more descriptive diagnosis since the shift is occurring in research and practice from a bacterial cause of chronic prostatitis to a complex pain problem. Any medical term with the word “itis” in it is suggestive of an underlying inflammatory cause.

Many studies have shown that men with chronic pelvic pain have very little inflammation (as measured by white blood cells, or pus cells, in their prostatic fluid); however, other studies looking for subtle markers of inflammation (cytokines) find inflammation in the majority of sufferers. The question at hand is,” does this type of inflammation have a more neurogenic basis”? Neurogenic inflammation in tissues can be caused by an AIGS (Abnormal Impulse Generating Site). In an AIGS, impulses can go along the nerve in both directions, resulting in neurogenic swelling and bogginess at the nerve endings, long after the tissues have healed. This could be one of the issues that sensitizes the pudendal nerve and contributes to the pain and dysfunction in urological chronic pelvic pain.

It is estimated on the Chronic Prostatits website (www.chronicprostatitis.com) that “pelvic floor muscle spasm may be the main cause of symptoms in over 90% of CPPS patients. Everyone with CP/CPPS should have a pelvic floor examination as part of a complete urological work-up by someone expert in trigger point/myofascial evaluation”. Since muscular problems are the domain of physiotherapists, seek out help from a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists, who has specialized training in this area.

Dr. Daniel Shoskes has developed a classification system, called the UPOINT system. This system helps the health practitioner and patient to focus their treatment energy and time on the right domain(s), or areas of the patient’s presentation in urological chronic pelvic pain. These pain syndromes have been classified as follows (the symptoms increase in severity with the number of areas involved):

U- urinary symptoms such as frequency and urgency are predominant

P- psychosocial factors such as stress and anxiety are present

O- organ specific findings such as Hunner’s ulcers are seen in the bladder

I- infection/inflammation is present in the bladder or prostate

N- neurological findings are predominant

T- tender muscles

Listen to what your doctors and therapists are telling you, and make sure that you deal with all of the areas involved in your presentation, including the psychosocial aspects (this is very important). If you address all the areas of involvement, you are more likely to get full resolution, and heal from your pain completely.

There is usually no pain. Sometimes it is almost painful but not quite. I often feel it on the right and left sides of my groin area. I experience difficulty starting a stream and keeping it going and when I push it feels like something in my groin is enlarged. Since I have no prior history of these problems and they began right on the heels of a Chlamydia infection the conclusion by the doctor was that the cause was likely bacterial in nature.

Pegasus I may not have replied to that post but I didn't ignore it. I'm just not sure if it applies to me.

I don't think so Big Al. I ejaculate too frequently for that to be a problem.

Now note this extract from my above post.

is estimated on the Chronic Prostatits website (www.chronicprostatitis.com) that “pelvic floor muscle spasm may be the main cause of symptoms in over 90% of CPPS patients. Everyone with CP/CPPS should have a pelvic floor examination as part of a complete urological work-up by someone expert in trigger point/myofascial evaluation”. Since muscular problems are the domain of physiotherapists, seek out help from a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists, who has specialized training in this area.
So it seems the sort of work we do here is becoming more mainstream .
So you can see a pelvic floor physio or refer to jock's post above.
