Acupuncture for prostatitis treatment

Anyone ever had acupuncture done for their prostate? I am highly considering getting done. I wanted to see if theres anyone out there who knows what to expect. Some research online has shown promising results.

    The acupuncture worked very well for me. It resolved the horrible fatigue i had and felt alot better after each treatment. The needles alone were not enough and had to take herbs to go after the cause of the problem in my kidneys (cause of prostatitis in my case).  I'm now only on herbs and have been taking them for about a year now along with diet and excercise. Prostate problems are GONE and now only dealing with kidneys. Discomfort, occasional utis etc. Never taking antibiotics again as they have not helped me at all. I feel im about 95% better since joining this forum on my current path. Think of the acupuncture treatments as a good massage. They will help tremendously but ultimately you will have to find and go after the cause. you have to decide what works for you. I'm hoping my explanation will show you what to expect. Good luck and keep us posted.

    Hello John, Thanks for your response.

    I will definitely try the acupuncture treatment. I am located near los angeles california, do you have any reference. E.coli Bacterial infection in my urine 1.5 years back is cause for my prostatitis.

    I have tried broccoli treatment [http://www.chronicprostatitis.com/broccoli.html], it helped me about 60% for the symptoms.

    unfortunately im not familiar with the la area. I would recommend you do your research on acupuncturist/ herbalists in your area. Make sure they use once only needles.  I would also recommend you see a acupuncturist who is well educated in the field. This will make a difference in your success. Also, please let them know about the e.cloi and all other factors as this will determine the protocol they want to use to treat you. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
