One of the best on-line videos, straight too the point and very well explained, most GP’s have no idea.

67 years old and you're the first doctor to identify condition # 4. That's me. How many Dr's don't understand the prostate? My most common diagnosis is, "don't know"

This was one of the best explained videos I went to the er for this multiple times they keep feeding you cipro only to come back with the same problem hence the overuse of antibiotics

[abumohameddualeh]

Dr. Eric thank you v very much. I have been scouring the U tube to find information about my condition of chronic non bacterial P which is exactly the same as you have described. Unfortunately, I have taken a course of antibiotics for one month, the pain has not gone away but my PSA levels came down. Since the pain is there, I have to try the treatment you thankfully mentioned in your clip. I am grateful to you and may ALLAH bless you

Best video going for prostatitis. Like many others, my GP is useless, and by the team you see a Urologist here in Canada you’re symptoms may have changed, or you’re so floored from the discomfort they think your nuts.

I'm getting worked up for this. My urologist called it a dx by exclusion so getting an ultrasound on my kidneys, bladder, testicles, etc. Had multiple negative urinalysis in past month for everything and normal blood work including PSA. I live in Florida but my symptoms started on my last day of a snowboard vacation at altitude in Colorado. Maybe the 4 days straight of snowboarding and my weak back and core muscles led to a pelvic floor dysfuction. Who knows. Just very odd how this all started at 10, 000 ft of altitude on the 6th day after 4 straight days of snowboarding which I only do once a year. Great video

I have this since 2013. Im 28 now. First 4 years was hell. I improved a lot. What helps most is managing my anxiety and avoiding inflammation causing things, like not much sleep, overtraining, overeating and using substances or alcohol... My cause is mycoplasma/ureaplasma. Took many antibiotics but it keeps coming back on and off.

Thanks for the video. I went through this last year and now having issues again as of now. My symptoms are exactly what you described on the chronic non bacterial. Sitting is almost impossible. I see a urologist next week. My family doctor gave me some antibiotics. It seemed to help for the first 7 days and then the perinium started hurting again as well urination. Last year my urologist had be to a CT scan and put a scope through my urethra to the bladder since the found red blood cells in my urine under scope. However, both CT scan and scope showed nothing of concern...which is a good thing too. Maybe I will order a doughnut so I can sit while at work.

Hi doc and greetings from sweden! I wish I had a doctor like you over here.. struggling with bacterial prostatitis for 5 years now. I keep getting infections and the doctors give me antibiotics. Ive done xray, ultra sound, cystoscopy, and the one thing that is ”wrong ” is that i have a cyst (?), a pea sized ball in my prostate. I want to remove it, since im not getting well, but the doctors say that its only water, and that if we would remove it it Will fill up with water again. The bacteria is almost always e-coli. Between the prostatitis ive had several bitesticle inflammations, with e coli bacterias. I had to do surgery one month ago because it was so infected and my ballsack got filled with some fluid. I also learned i had a cyst on the bitesticle that they burnt of.
I wish it was ”only” the pain, but all these bacterias and antibiotics makes it so hard to keep on. I dont know what to do.. i have a daughter coming in october, so that and my gf is the only thing kereping me alive. Im 29y/o and it all started 2016.
Shoutout to all the brave men fighting this horrible disease! You are not alone.
I hope you read this doc, i really need help

[scotniver]

After living with it for over 8 years, I can submit you hit all the important aspects. I've watched every video
On YouTube and have seen at least a half dozen urologists. One performed a cystiscope like you mentioned.
Eventually, through my own research, I have a way to manage it. Tamulosin, Prostagutt, and no sugar or
Alcohol.. Lastly, lots of vigorous exercise. Thanks for your presentation and analysis

[xujiabin]

Thank you so much for the objective description, Dr. Eric. This video calmed me a lot!

[devokyle]

Well done. I have prostatitis it can be quite miserable at times. Got it in my early 20s. I have had it for 13 years.

[dingleberry]

I had all the classic symptoms of CPPS. Painful urination, painful ejaculation (when I could get an erection), Penile pain and frequent urination. After suffering with this for over 4 months one morning during one of my very painful urinating sessions I passed a 6.25mm kidney stone! And just like that all symptoms vanished!

[VictrolaJazz]

I had a case of prostatitis when I was 25--it felt like a had a tennis ball between my legs, hard to urinate. The doctor massaged it and I thought I was going to die it hurt so bad. He put me on some medication that caused me to urinate orange for awhile, but then it cleared up. That was in 1969 and I've never had any trouble since then.

[alexandros]

I had exactly CPPS with the symptoms you describe plus low back pain, tried a lot of stretching and supplements, but what actually help and make me free of symptoms are doing Ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, like after 1-2 weeks of carb free the symptoms went away.. 3 months after i had Abdominal USG again and the doctor said my prostate is in normal size and not inflammated like before.
The problem is i got too skinny and feel tired (maybe i dont do keto in the right way), so i start adding healthy carb like red or black rice.. i eat whole food only and limit my other carb intake.. but i feel the symptoms are back but in a mild intensity.. so im sure the culprit is carbs.. im still trying on my diet modif, maintain regular exercises, stress management.. btw i strictly avoid caffeine like tea, coffee and chocolate, also avoiding milk.

My suggestion is, if you are capable.. avoid carbs.. trust me this works, if u dont have any problem like underweight this will works wonder.. hope it helps.. God bless ❤️

Awesome video. Very informative and spot on re: CPPS/Chronic Prostatis. Another symptom you didn’t include is lower back pain. I suffer with the lower back pain, urethra, and pressure in the testicles/groin. It’s been a little over a month and a half, I’m 26, and yes …. Antibiotics will not touch chronic prostatis/CPPS …. namely Levofloxacin or Doxy. It’s definitely going to be a waiting game.

[robertgafaranga]

Thanks so much now I am ony 3 Drs in 3 years. it looks like 2 previous ones didn't understand it all or mentioned it .
I suspected it but I couldn't convince them
Last one told me that this is prostatitis I am now on 6 months medication hope it ll help

[michaelwray]

I changed diet to include lots of different fruits such as blueberries, strwberries etc..lower back massage as often as i can, deal with stress. Yoga...plenty fluids..

[richarda]

amassing explanation !!! Thank you so much !!

[cmdrdarwin]

I have had these symptoms for years now. No one had a clue what was wrong. Why has my urologist never tested me for this? I seriously question the methods of urology in diagnosis of anything after this. Where do I turn?
