Diagnosing Prostatitis

Dr. Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc, IFMCP, CNS, clinical assistant professor of integrative and functional urology at New York University and author of Thrive—Don’t Survive: Dr. Geo’s Guide to Living Your Best Life Before & After Prostate Cancer, explains how prostatitis is diagnosed—and how it is often misdiagnosed. A diagnosis of prostatitis is based on a man’s symptoms, typically pelvic or scrotal pain and urinary difficulties, including increased frequency and urgency. Other conditions that mimic prostatitis include overactive bladder and normal enlargement of the prostate gland with age. The NIH Chronic Prostatitis Support Index Score can help doctors determine whether they are dealing with prostatitis or another condition. Other symptoms associated with prostatitis include lower back pain, sexual dysfunction, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic stress.

Im 30 years old been dealing with penis pain, penis tip irritation ect.. and pain in testicles after ejaculation. It All came on 2 hrs after receiving oral sex. I Had nermous std test and blood work done but showing no infections. Went to a Dr he checked my prostate and told me it was inflamed/boggy and he gave me cypro for a month. That didnt help so i went to urologist and he said seems like prostatitis. I have 24/7 pain in my penis with pain more worse some days then others. I get weird mild pains in my pelvic area sometimes but nothing too painful. The pain is mostly in my penis. Do anybody else have the same symptoms in the penis as i have and was diagnosed with prostatitis?? The urologist told me to go home try not to think about it and deal with it. To be honest my heart sank when he told me that cause iv been like this for almost a year with no success. When it first happened i felt fever and chills and could bearly pee for a few hrs with pain in my penis tip/ureatha and cloudy pee. The fever and chills went away later that day but i remeber my pee still being cloudy untell i took the cypro. Fast forward 10 months im still in pain everyday consistently in my penis and penis tip. It worries me more cause it happened after oral sex but my urologist insured me i have no infections or std
