PROSTATITIS

Prostatitis is, in the main, an ignored, non-researched, non-funded disease. It can cause debilitating pain and as your Medic may be unable to find any bacteria, you may find yourself noted as having a sexually transmitted disease, or it may be suggested that you need the help of a psychiatrist. As your medic will not be able to offer any cure, any help to overcome the disease should not be turned away. Only you and others with the disease know how completely it can take over your life and sometimes totally destroy it. It can change your personality and break up your marriage or relationship.

Prostatitis can give you lower back pain, deep pain between the scrotum and the anus, chills and fever. Difficulty, frequency and pain when passing water; a major problem is discomfort whilst sitting.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis can also produce a watery discharge, pain on ejaculation, cystitis, and sometimes irritation which can cause premature ejaculation. Blood can appear in the semen and there can also be a swelling of the testes.
