"My understanding is that pain on massage is more common in acute bacterial prostatitis but not necessarily on chronic cases.
I have just finished a 2nd run of antibiotics.... again, I had almost 100% improvement while on the pills and it's…"

"Hi Dennis. Pain on massage is most common according to the medical field. "
"I went for one massage and the pain was through the roof. I did not enjoy that experience, at all."
"Hi Dave. I have been on cipro and doxycycl at different time periods. At best I did notice some symptom relief as long as I was taking them. When I stopped, my symptoms returned. I went to a very highly regarded medical facility…"
"Hi Rick, just out of interest, have antibiotics ever had any effect on it for you? - i.e. noticeable yet temporary improvement? Your experience in general sounds very like mine ... nothing to point at the prostate, yet nothing to point…"
"I have discussed my symptoms with many doctors and urologists. Thus far, I have received different opinions on what are the cause of my symptoms. The opinions that believe my prostate is not the cause are based on the fact that…"

"Thanks for the response. I'm reluctant to throw too many different methods at my prostate all at once, as then I will have no idea which one is actually working. I do believe that sitting all day at a desk, both at home and at work, is part of…"
"An detailed and articulate post. I tried a natural remedy before conventional medicine: saw palmetto (320mg capsules) and a tincture of Echinacea and Goldenseal daily. One week into this regimen and my symptoms have alleviated, if…"
