"Right. It seems pretty obvious that persistent Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis won't go away with partial measures."
"Oh, OK. Good clarification. In my case, 52 years, with a 2 year history of CNBP the TURP seemed to help with urinary flow, but groin, leg and lower abdominal pain seem to persist in a moderate/mild manner. Hope you are doing well Dr."
"I take 0.5mg daily Cialis and helps to relax down there."
"It seems like TURP worked for the coach."
"great discussion. I haven't visited the forum for a while. I've visited other forums like the CPPS related to the Anderson/Wise theories and the administrator doesn't any questioning or critical comments of this theory. I commend Dr.…"

"There can be a correlation between inflammation and pain. For example, a urine infection can result in both inflammatory reaction and symptoms, including pain.

"well i though there was a connection between penile pain, frequent urination and inflammation, but i'm not sure now after reading the neuro muscular theories"

biopsy report
after dealing with "prostatic" symptoms for 6 months now, the urologist recommended a biopsy. On Feb. 7, 12 biopsies were performed. All Bxs came back negative and the report says "mild atrophy and mild chronic inflammation". I'm totally lost here. There were some small calcifications shown in the TURS, dr. said they were normal and are not suppose to be the cause of infl. I've read a report from dr. Shoskes in which they have tried an antibiotic protocol for long time prostatisi/ccps…See More

- began with an UTI in Dec. 2009, i did recover partially, but always felt the lower abdominal and back pain. Symptoms began again in mid July 2010, urinary pain emerged en mid August. Was given sulfameth for a month now change to cipro. today after a month on ant. I felt like going back to square 1. Still waiting for results.
Update: Had a biopsy on Feb. 2011 Findings: Benign tissue and mild chronic prostatitis.In August 2011 had TURP performed in Raleigh. Results: urinary flow is definitely better. After recovery I still feel sore in lower abdomen; groins and legs. No "golf ball" sensation. DRE confirmed that prostate is not swollen or enlarged.

- Just finished the 10 session treatment with dr Polacheck from Tucson AZ. The treatment seems fairly simple and effective: lab work to find bacteria (they found Streptococcus Mitis +2 and Staph +1). After a week of lab work and massages, dr. gave me antibiotics (Cefdinir and Azithromycin). We also spent quite a bit of time on education. Dr. Polacheck seems like an "old fashion" doc with quite a bit of wisdom based on the practice of seen hundreds of patients with prostatitis. I also had a chance to tour and climb some mountains in the Tucson area. Mauricio Chenlo

- Thanks for the update, Mauricio.
Which symptoms had you had before going?
What was the effect of treatment?
- At 3:02pm on October 25, 2010,
- "lower abdominal pain; lower back pain; painful urination/ejaculation; golf ball pressure. The main effect of the massages (which I began at home before going to Tucson) was the reduction of the size of the prostate, which it had all kind of benefits: better urinary flow; almost normal erections; lack of of golf ball effect."
Excellent. Please keep us posted.
