I was with chronic non bacterial prostatitis for 3 months, peeing all the time, pain peeing, pain in the anus, pain in the pelvic area, quality of life really bad, until i went to see a 3rd doctor and he told me certain things i didnt knew.

So i change my habits, i stoped eating red meat, instead i eat fish or chicken with vegetables, i stopped sitting down in the day, almost all the day i am standing up unless i went to the restroom avoid sitting down, i began making cardio excercise all the days, i stopped drinking alcohol and spicy food, i began eating pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seeds oil every day as a routine, i began supplementing with Saw Palmetto and Stinging Nettle Root, and my problems are almost cured, right now i have almost 2 months with no symptoms at all

Hi!
I feel pain in bladder while ejaculation and my semen is also watery.
There is also some redness near tip of the urethra. I am very anxious, plz tell me what it could be.

[dongardner]

I've been dealing with prostatitis for over 9 months. Is anybody else's main symptom rectal burning? Sometimes it goes away for a week or two, and comes back. Sometimes it burns for minutes or hours, and goes away. Sometimes it lingers for days, even weeks on rare occasions. The pain can be unbearable. I noticed it's not a common symptom, and was wondering if anybody was dealing with something similar?

[elvisedimo]

So if a certain Dr. has developed antibiotics that does not have side effects for the treatment of this issues why not make it available for public use rather than allowing people use these Ines with deadly side effects?

The Chines protocal injects antibiotics directly into the prostate daily over 45 days. Also breaking up calcium that the bacteria hide in.

Give it a go good luck 👍

Levaquin ruined my elbow tendons 2 years ago and from a lifetime of weight lifting I cannot lift anymore. I was lucky the Achilles pain went away. Be very careful with this drug. I had this reaction and now long term problems from just TWO doses. Two tablets.

[brandonharris]

I was diagnosed with Acute prostatitis. I'm taking levofloxacin (Levaquin) for 21 days straight.

Dr Scholz, Please comment on the Rezum procedure to reduce bph. Thank you very much for your videos. I have learned a lot.

[BelezaBrasilMike]

Yes this was very informative. I took the antibiotics for 6 weeks and it went away slowly. It came back and I am now talking saw palmetto and I will take alive for the discomfort and see if it works.

No sé, lo hice sin antibióticos. Tomé el suplemento L-Fortex para la inflamación. La inflamación desapareció con un curso. Pero fui al especialista de inmediato, así que pude deshacerme de ella rápidamente.
