Prostatitis/CPPS recovery journey part 2 

Cheers bro ! Your energy and your word of advice is really important to all of us who are dealing whit this shit! For me foam roller does a great job realising those trigger points.

Thank you for your videos

Going through prostatitis the pass year. Symptoms much the same as you. Had went through 3 courses of antibiotics, didn’t work. Glad I found this channel, I don’t feel so alone. Thanks for sharing.

Hey guys. I got diagnosed with chronic prostatitis last year after suffering for over 2 years. My symptoms were pretty bad with even experiencing black seman at times. I ditched the last antibiotics I was prescribed, didn't even open them. I cut out added sugar in my diet, drank lemon water, ate anti inflammatory foods and within 3 weeks my symptoms were as good as gone. I went 3 months with nothing and felt like a new man. I celebrated with a huge chocolate bar along with various junk over the weekend. By Monday it felt like I was back to square one. I carried on healthy for the week and after 5 days I was good again. 9 months now and I'm all good. Seriously look at your diet guys.

I wanted to say thank you. Everything you've said here s the same as what I'm currently experiencing. From the lack of doctor's help, me doing all the research, constant antibiotics and useless treatments, and the symptoms. I am subscribing as you seem to have been on the path for years, that I am now on.

So im at the start of this whole thing. Almost exact same thing; I didnt have debilitating pain as you did, but I had an actual prostate infection years ago to compare it to, what I have now is so much more mild. Luckily, the urologist i went to almost immediately told me: “This sounds like Chronic pelvic pain syndrome brought on by Anxiety/Stress and really tight muscles” He said he figured this because I developed a DIFFERENT condition due to anxiety/stress, It has affected my breathing and stomach in a different way. He told me to search around for a physical therapist which I have an appointment with soon. Definitely gonna bring up some stuff you said, because I literally got injured the same way, Last year; i injured my hip from deadlifting and have developed pain in my pelvis albeit recently. This pain has slowly gone away with stress management and I havent done enough stretching to know full relief. I think many of us want things “to go back to the way things were.” I do too, but If my life can be managed, if the pain can be managed and maybe in the future outright eliminated through persistent effort? Thats something to look forward to. We adapt to these conditions and symptoms. Even encountering healthier lifestyles as a result, im lucky i even see a therapist too; which can help in its own regard. If we, as Men, can get better as a group by spreading awareness, giving tips and supporting one another. Maybe, we can adapt to this new “Normal”.

Taking things to make the prostate healthier helped me alot…saw palmetto, prostate vitamins, etc A holistic/meditative approach is an always an option since the medical world just says there’s no fixing of this issue. God Bless 🙏🏼

Stress is a huge factor for worsening prostatitis. I remember sitting in work meetings and getting stressed out to the point where I had urinary retention and could not urinate.

Wow! You described almost the same situation as me. Of course all the prostatitis symptoms, but also left leg fatigue and left lower back weakness. I fell off my roof back in 2016 and had shattered my left hip. Had to get it reconstructed. Then I had to fix a groin hernia due to my pelvis shattering, that I didn't get repaired until two years later. I also have some bad internal hemorrhoids that I feel isn't helping my prostate. My entire pelvic area has had a lot of trauma to say the least. And like u said, I think stress is a huge factor with mine, as it also causes me horrible acid reflux too. I'm almost 45 now. Sleeping at night has been a struggle. I get up several times at night to pee, and sleeping on my stomach puts too much pressure on my pubic area. I'm getting my first colonoscopy in a few days, and I'm gonna have the doc look at my prostate too while he's down there. Then I'm gonna get these hemorrhoids removed too. I hope I can get this under control eventually. I don't wanna deal with this forever. Maybe I need to see a chiropractor and do some pelvic exercises too. Your videos have already helped me. Thanks!

Very helpful thanks 👏

I had anxiety for over a year that combined with heavy squats brought it on for me. Don’t do any weight training for 6 months. Stretch twice a day every day. Do body weight only exercises 3 times a week. But most importantly lower your stress. Fear of the symptoms are the fuel that keeps the hamster wheel going.

I can understand the stress thing- it does affect everything in our bodies.

I am so happy for you ❤. I used to have that too ☺. Eat also pumpkin seeds. Saw palmetto supplements and ZINC don't forget ZINC. Exercise. Don't stress. Go to nature everyday. Avoid excessive sex. Avoid multiple partners it ain't worth it. Avoid alcohol and smoking and clubbing.

I basically got rid of 90% of my cpps pain by doing stretches and pressing deep with my hands into my lower abdomen, massaging it for a long time. Also I think doing weighted situps aggravated it so I stopped doing that for now

In Toronto there is a prostatitis clinic in Toronto they help well for bacterial ones. You can't live with an infection in your prostate. Urine analysis and semen lab tests need to be done to rule out the infection. Based on that they will treat you.

Take Quercetin and beta-sitostrol for irritation, inflammation and fugal or bacterial infections Also, take hot epson salts bath to help relax pelivic area and prostate

Being with same A month ago. Had all tests, urinalysis, Blood test, MCs all negative. Though possibly had STI exposure before the symptoms started a month ago, just finishing the last 3 sessions of antibiotics. Symptoms reduced while on antibiotics but recurring. Hoping to visit a urologist next week for other opinions and hope for improvement

The best thing you can do for yourself suffering from this is diet and stretch exercise. Avoid processed food at all means.

Hey brother i wanted to thank you for the video and the strength you are giving us 💪🏻 i wanted to say something and then i have a Question . - i have the same thing but i keep my mind out of it and have a good time which it helps alot so just know one thing there are people that are blind or cant move and they are still thankfull and live there life why we complain so much about some pain that come and goes as other wise we can walk speak and do everything so we thanks God for all other things and blessings we have .. - btw i live in iraq which is a poor Life Quality country but still i have had this for more than 6 years and its ok for me i just when i have time i go do some research time to time and then have fun and dont let it effect your life . - my Question are if you could kindly reply I was good but i had food poisoning and i took 3 days flagyl then it got worse after that i took etoricoxib my erection is back and the pain is little but i have pain below my stomach what do you think i should do Secondly we dont have physical therapy here can you please gave me the name of some videos i watch And what about diet or test i should make ?! And how are you now overall on the symptoms Best of luck lion 💪🏻

For me it’s triggered by dairy like cottage cheese and cheese, sugar, chili 🌶️ and when I cut those foods out it goes completely. A keto diet with apple cider vinegar and water helps a lot

I’m new to this. How long does it take for u to heal or get better?

Hay zaid I think I may have had restrictors for a number of years. I’m currently waiting on a colonoscopy from my doctor in the UK, as they think it might be Prostatitis. I think my symptoms might be exacerbated because I have cerebral palsy which causes tens muscles anyway, and I was wondering if there was any way I could speak to you about exercises in the meantime, that I could adapt

Guys try microgen dx urine and prostate fluid DNA sequencing to identify and treat the non culturable microgens

Hey! I thanked you in the other video, but I thank you again here; QUESTION (excuse me if it is rude or something): is your prostate inflamated or hard? because this is the case with me and I just want to check I´m actually dealing with the same thing and not with something similar but different. Thanks!

hi, i have pain in my pelvic but not frequent and burning in my penis, and I have blood in my seamen.. did have this blood in seamen..just asking..I'm so worried about this pain and blood..I'm 47 right now. almost 6month

I got strep throat super bad. Doctor prescribed amoxicillin. Now I’m constipated and having trouble peeing.

Can you tell me a little bit more about the core stretches?

Hi I’m on same boat. Do u think it is a good idea to smoke weed?

My symptoms started in a week of stress/anxiety/insomnia I’m not in much pain these days. been through antibiotics. Right now I’m just trying to manage stress there are days when I feel like it’s best to end my life to be honest sometimes I only watch suicidal videos trying to convince the little part of me that keeps on saying don’t do it to agree with the other side that’s saying do it. I don’t have a steady income so I cannot eat how I would want to there are days when I hardly eat so I’m losing weight sometimes I think about my life and then the reality of things hits me and I’m like this is not life this is not living I’m better off dead. I don’t know what else to do my doctor seem clueless at this point.

Do you still get milky discharge? 90% of what you describe is what I experience. Initially I had lots of discharge, but after antibiotics it comes and goes with the ~milky discharge / droplet~ being my main worry. Also lower back pain on the left side. So - do you still have milky discharge droplets now and again?

What do think about prostate massage,bis it bad or good while having prostatitis?

Bro we are having the same fucking issues , this shit is crazy I’ve had it for 2 years , on and off antibiotics.. really don’t know what to do with it

Did you have urinary problem like pee 20 times per day during your chronic prostatitis?

Very similar situation I’ve been going through… finally semen culture showed the bacterial strain… just started 4 weeks of antibiotic again, this time targeting this strain.. hoping this will knock it out

I have a question, what about hormones? did you test your trt levels and cortisol and insulin levels?

I went through this for 7 years, and was completely symptom free for over 10 years. I learned a lot over that time.... How I ended up beating it in 2012 was by first doing trimethoprim and then 12 weeks of doxycycline. I combined these antibiotics with Quercetin + Bromelain (to help reduce inflammation and reverse or act synergistically with antibiotics). I also used green tea (matcha) for EGCG and EGC, which both act synergistically with antibiotics to reverse resistance and lower MIC's and block efflux pumps in E coli. I took 10 Allicin Max per day (antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and animal study shows it's synergistic with abx). Other supplements included pycnogenol + l-arginine (improve blood flow), and yeast-drived beta glucan (jarrow) (this is a very good supplement for immunity). I also took zinc picolinate and regular multi by now foods (1/3 of the dose). Finasteride can also slow the progression of bacterial prostatitis and improve symptoms (if that's the issue for anyone). When I combined supplements with the antibiotics, they seemed to clearly work a lot better. I think they were additive or synergistic with the effects of the antibiotic. Interestingly, I would get symptom relief of bladder issues from taking D mannose, so I figured my problem was triggered, at least initially, by E coli. The problem: I thought it was entirely bacterial. It wasn't. At some point antibiotics stopped working on the remaining symptoms... and those remaining symptoms were entirely muscle related. I was tensing my muscles and I didn't even realize it. This took weeks or months of doing a regular routine of stretching, deep breathing and relaxation of the pelvic floor. And REVERSE kegels. I good book I recommend is by Amy Stein M.P.T - Heal Pelvic Pain. This is what got rid of the last and remaining symptoms. The crucial thing though is identifying the muscles and learning how to relax the pelvic floor. You can do this at any time of the day: standing, sitting, or lying down. So anyway, that gets us to today, over 10-11 years later. I just took an antibiotic for a dental abscess, and then right after that I had the tetanus vaccine (3 in 1 vaccine), and now I have symptoms of prostatitis back again. It's actually been a stressful time for many reasons. I've had the burning, the perineum pain, frequent urination, feeling of tightness. It may have snuck up on me, I don't know. But doing the stretches and relaxation of pelvic floor is already helping after just a few days. I'm unsure right now if I am dealing with something that is purely muscle related or if my immune system and microbiome was compromised, leading to this flare up cos some fungi or bacteria grew, or it's simply just an immune system reaction and nonbacterial. Very hard to tell. I'm gonna just hold off on antibiotics for the moment though. Because if anyone would have told me these symptoms were muscle related years ago before I put myself into remission, I would never have believed them. No matter what the cause though, relaxing the muscles and stretching, but doing it consistently, can help loads. I can definitely feel a lot of tension, but I don't know if it's in response to the urethral burning I was getting before the prostate-like symptoms appeared. Good luck everyone. :) If anyone is interested, I can update on what becomes of this flare up after 11 years.

I have been dealing with this for 6-7 months. Kind of sad to see this is the follow up with no cure yet. What seems to trigger it for me is sugar, alcohol, higher carb diets and of course stress/tension. I think the root cause is a pelvic floor imbalance. Have you ever done reverse kegels? That seems to help relax the pelvic floor.

Bro, I’m having the same issue for past 2 years on and off and it’s very stressful. I have a question, is this something that can affect your reproductive capabilities in anyway? Please answer

Hi, friends, can prostatitis cause pain when sitting? I can't sit for more than 3 months. is there any solution? thanks

i had all the test and its negative...after taking all kinds of antibiotic, i still feel the itchy and burning sensation..what would you recommend?

I am very anxious I don't know what to do plz help I have only mother, plz help

Bro how is your constant urge to urinate now ? And did you had weak flow of urine

Hy bro can we chappati bcz I'm from india nd here is chappati is more eat plz tell it's made by wheat flour

Hi Zaid, can I ask how bad was the frequent urination for you when it all started and how is it now that you’re recovering? I’ve been suffering for the past 8-9 months on and off now with what my urologist believes is a form of prostatitis but the main symptom for me is and always has been frequent urination, it’s come back pretty bad at the moment and also starting to get the sore low back. Medication hasn’t helped too much but Just recently started with a pelvic physio so hoping this can help with the symptoms. I seem to be one of the lucky ones who doesn’t suffer much pain but the constant urge to pee is horrible and starting to really affect me. Thanks for the videos too 👍🏼

Brother do you have any idea about this. I have pain since 6 months. Mostly come when I'm sitting. When I'm sitting i feel some pain in my Prostate area. Actually between may balls and anus. Only right side and lower right back area. My groing. Right lower abdomen. In my right buttock. Some times along my leg and arms. Like small numbness on feet. Little pain sometimes. Did KUB ultrasound scan, testicle scan. Everything normal. No kidney stones, no UTI etc. Did ls spine mri also. To check nerve issue. No issue on it. Normal result. I'm not getting hard pain. But some mild one most of the day. When stting more pain is getting more. Not sure what to do 😢.

My doctor diagnosis that I have prostatitis took a year course of antibiotics no cure .I feel pain in my urethra...no pelvic pain or anal pain.what it could be.... can you please help

hi . do you still having sex now . im just have the same exprience like you . ive do so many test . multiple std test and all test came back negative . its been 2 years now . the symtomp doesnt goes away . now im fear to having sex again .

I m 32. I have had cpps for about 13 years now. Till 2014 I used to have constant pain, but the pain was in vericoce vein. I got it removed through vericocele surgery. Since then, only problem has been frequent urination. The theory behind cpps is that it happens due to residual pressure in lower abdomen + pelvic floor muscles. You must be having some tension in those muscles which could be constant. It irritates pudental nerve & causes symptoms. Pudental nerve irritation could cause erectile dysfunction, frequent urination & lower back pain. The key to recovery is to reduce the tension in your trigger points. This could happen only with targeted exercise.

I'm indian tere are so many treatment available for prostatitis Why you didn't do cystoscopy? There are allopathy ,aayurvedic and homoeopathy , unani treatment available in India Other causes Interatial cystitis Bladder tuberculosis Urethral Stricture

Have you done the 'semen culture test '??

Have you ever heard of “mind body syndrome”? Or “TMS”? A lot of CPPS recovery stories mention TMS and coincide a lot with what you describe. I’ve had an extremely similar experience to you. About 3 months into my “journey” with it.

Did you ever experience an Erectile dysfunction?

The cause is almost always an infection, mine started with chlamydia, the bacteria was killed with anibiotics, it no longer appears in tests, but six months after, I'm still dealing with this shhhhhht, symtoms come and go from day to day, I think I'm improving but there are still days I want to kill myself

I confess that I was a little disappointed, because I hoped that if you found the cause, maybe I could too. 😅 My problem is no longer the pain, because nowadays it's a reasonable pain and not so frequent, but my sex life that turned into a mess. Then I realized that I no longer have sharp pains because I also don't have strong arousals anymore, that was my trigger for the pain. I feel sexually like an old man and I haven't even reached 40.
