LRP Success Rates and resolution of pain and bowel symptoms

[jim]

I am 31 years old and have had prostatitis for 12 years. My symptoms started with a golf ball feeling in my rectum, pain below belly button and then after a year started with bowel problems including constaption and wind. I also have the standard prostatitis symptoms worsing pain after sex, urinay problems, white blood cells in urine. I am not sure if my prostatitis caused my bowel problems or vice versa.

I am considering LRP and wondered if anyone else has had this surgery with the same symptoms and what their outcome was - i.e. did their prostate and bowel symptoms resolve?

Any feedback would be appreciated

I am 36 and i have had prostatitis for 20 years. My prostatitis caused my bowel problems  and i also conssidering LRP.

@Blake my Uro told me that prostatitis can cause bowel problems (he has more patients with same problems) and i have not been taking too much antibiotics, actually only three times. Because  they do not help, my Uro won't write them to me anymore. And yes i have done stool tests, but they all came clear. 

For me the LRP seems to be the only possible cure, which will come with a huge risk. My Uro told, that he can not cure me, because they do not have solution for this. He can only try to stabilize it.

Jim,  do you have any children? 

[jim]

Ra I do not have any children as I need to sort my health first to ensure I will be well placed to look after children. The-y can freeze sperm. I feel my bowel problems were caused by Prostatitis - what bowel symptoms do you have?

[Ra]

I have a bloating gas and a diarrhea. Have you allready found a surgeon or spoken wiht a surgeon about the LRP? I live in Estonia and they do not do the LRP for prostatitis here, so i have to save money and go to England.

I found a surgeon in UK and the operation costs about 12,000. Do you have abdomen pains also? I have constipation, gas and pains
