I'm 45 yerars old . For 25 years I suffered six acute prostatitis ( e,coli) well resolved with antibiotics. 2 years ago i suffered pain in both epididymis, and abdominal area . Urologist FIND NO CAUSE. for 6 months abdominal pain, inguinal ,testicular, prostate, anal, dysuria, frequency pain Post-ejaculatory. Negative cultures, but improved with quinolones, fosfomycin, doxycycline. 5 days after stopping antibiotics (rounds 2-3 months) all the symptoms return. Urologists discuss possible chronic nonbacterial prostatitis without possible solution. gabapentin helps a little pain.
all my life I have been very active sportsman and now I can hardly walk, and I can not enjoy my family and my two young children. explain to my urologist lrp possibility and he said it was crazy and surely would be worse.

    Hi Nacho,

    I hope things get better for you. I know how disabling this condition is. I'm also considering having the LRP done at some point in the future, but really need more information. One of the things which attracted me to this site was that Dr Krongrad seemed to be doing a great deal to get real data about prospects of recovery with LRP. Unfortunately, I can't get any reply from him regarding his research project. This is a little discouraging.

    Barcelona isn't so far from Christopher Eden, and he seems to be getting good results. The operation is expensive, but he's much cheaper than Krongrad.

    Anyway, let's keep in touch.

    Hi Nacho, its been 3 years since my prostate removal and as far as symptoms the only one I can think of is problems with erections. Of course I am 52 years old and before surgery I was having trouble with erections because of the chronic prostatitis. It is not a big issue for me anymore because I know the benefit of having the surgery far outweighed any possible issues afterwards. I was sick so long because of chronic prostatitis all I wanted was to get better and because of my choice I am better. I am still able to have an orgasm and erections have improved greatly its just intercourse with my wife is not the main source of sexual gratification anymore.

    Hello all,

    I had LRP late October 2013 and have improved dramatically. It takes time to improve- I was not pain free day one after op but I had a number of problems - Cp, ibs-c and pelvic floor dyssynergia. I am 80% better on all symptoms and about 90% Prostate.

    In.summary:
    - prostate pain 90% improved, no incontinence but took four weeks (I am early thirties, lean/slim and decent diet so factors that drive a good outcome I think), erections about 50% and improving slowly [no tablets required and pentration possible] ~ still improving
    - Pelvic floor dyssynergia - improved alot and physiotherapy (trigger. Point release) helping alot but physiotherapy onlyl help since op. I think prostate problem was irritating nerves and not allowing muscles to relax
    - Ibs-c improved but still some intolerance to.diary and wheat main Ones.
