I suggest you see a urologist or nephrologist with the idea of possible kidney stone formation in mind. There is an excellent and vast resource of information at http://www.urologystone.com which may be helpful to you.
Either way, this persistent pain is not acceptable, and perhaps a more eager internist will spend the time with you to help figure out what's really going on.View Thread
No, you wouldn't "pop" anything.View Thread
I`m just glad someone has heard of this problemView Thread
The majority of supplements are not standardized for phytosterol content, so it's easily possible they have insufficient content to provide measurable benefit.
If you are going to try a supplement, you need to stick with it for 2 months. And you should look for one that is independently content certified to know that you are getting an effective dosage. You should also look for one that focuses on BPH and not general "prostate health." You may want to investigate a physician branded product called Prostate SR. If you have questions about it, you can actually call and talk to a person about your concerns.
After taking a supplement for 2 months, you will know if that supplement is providing benefit. If you have been taking one already and it hasn't provided benefit, it still does not tell you whether a different one would or whether you're one of the 50% for whom supplementation doesn't help.View Thread
Your PT is NOT qualified to give any advice on fertility issues.
If you get frequent UTIs, this is a different issue. Hopefully your PT is doing a good job helping you correct the pelvic floor dysfunction, which I suspect is the majority of the issue.
There's no reason you should worry in advance about fertility until you actually have a semen analysis to determine whether you have any fertility issues.
If you're taking any antibiotics, you will not be able to conceive, period.
These are issues to discuss with your urologist. Take them one step at a time. Learn what the situation actually is, then handle one at a time.View Thread
Additionally, your body will need help recovering from the antibiotics you took, so you should take a probiotic for at least a month now following the antibiotic treatment.
Call your urologist today and report your symptoms.View Thread
Some psychiatrists are quick to prescribe, and many patients do not disclose all of their behaviors, nor do all patients cooperate sufficiently to receive the best care. We can't know the exact situation because we're not there. And while I said "basic" chemistry, what I meant was that the biomechanical machine is affected by all the chemicals introduced in the system. Nothing in the body works in isolation.
Yes, some chemicals act on different pathways. In the body however, a person cannot predict that the effect of one chemical in isolation and that the effect of another chemical in isolation have additive results when both are used together. Together they more frequently have a new effect, but we tend to average out the body's reaction when discussing likely outcomes.
No matter what, self-medication, which in this specific instance means adding illicit drugs of unknown safety and quality to a diagnosed and medicated person who is supposed to be supervised by a psychiatrist, and not dealing with the reported "insufficiency" of the prescribed medication directly with the psychiatrist...THAT is what is idiotic. That says the patient thinks he knows more about medicating his condition than a trained doctor, and there's no way to believe that.
My reference to Chinese medicine talked about a perspective that looks at root causes, and encouraged this person still to talk to their DOCTOR about their concerns and bring up the fact that anxiety has a known connection to urinary symptoms. Not every type of doctor is going to be fluent with that research, and my encouragement was that if this potential connection interested him, he could research it further. It was not a diagnosis.View Thread
You do not need insurance to receive medical care. There is no excuse for this behavior.
I understand that it's the furniture wetting you're reporting in the urology forum, so if he's unwilling to wear an adult diaper, you will continue to have this problem until he stops drinking.
I suggest you look for advice in an alcohol abuse forum, since there's nothing a urologist while he's excessively drinking. The cause is known. The answer is also known, stop drinking. If you need help with getting him to stop drinking you'll need professional assistance in that area, but that's not available in the urology forum.View Thread
Since your description was incomplete, I'm jumping to a possible scenario, which while it might not be accurate, would warrant immediate medical attention.
Aside from that, the urology forum is not a good place to categorize your question.View Thread
Unfortunately this is something that needed to be handled at the time it first occurred. There's likely very little that can be done 15 years later.
As long as you have pain, you will have E.D. issues. Yes, still see a urologist to discuss your current situation. There is no reason you should live with pain.View Thread

The fundamental message here is that if you feel pain DURING masturbation, STOP what you're doing, because it means you're hurting yourself.View Thread
The color is no indication of fertility, and there are about a dozen factors that collectively contribute to the characteristics of semen. It's impossible to control with any specific direction because there are so many contributing factors.
If you can be more specific about what you were expecting and how what you experienced was different, it may be possible to offer you more insight.View Thread
Cranberry juice has absolutely no effect on urinary symptoms and is only related to preventing e.coli bacteria from colonizing and leading to a UTI, which as a man, is an extreme rarity to begin with.
Your masturbation technique may also be too rough or last too long if you are coming up with the reported sensation afterwards. That's not normal.
Your GP will not be able to answer your questions. They have insufficient knowledge of urinary function and system to be of actual help. Please see a urologist.View Thread
You already have herpes, although I assume you're talking about a blister in your mouth, not on your penis. As such, you shouldn't have unprotected sex of any kind, ever, no matter whether you have an outbreak or not.
Please go to the clinic for a proper test. Follow up with a urologist if no STI is found.View Thread
Your ejaculate fluid does NOT need to be white. The color is no indication of fertility. Multiple orgasms are not standard for men. That you aren't seeing what you expect is highly concerning, and your GP cannot answer these questions for you. GPs know as much about your genitals as they know about correctly packing a parachute. See a urologist. Stop waiting. Anxiety will only complicate issues.
The longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to deal with these types of concerns.
The doctor isn't going to do anything weird. Ask them to explain what they're looking for and what they're finding. It's a conversation, not an interrogation. You'll be okay.View Thread
As far as medical priorities, proper urination is a medical necessity. Sexual gratification doesn't rank on the scale at all.View Thread
It means 4-6 cans of beer. I used to count, but since I've started going to Al-Anon meetings I've tried to stop counting as part of my control issues will all of this. When we were first together, it was nothing to drink an 18-pack, but he has since cut WAAAY back on how much he consumes.
He enjoys drinking but tends to take it to far, that's why he drinks. He thinks that he can drink away his problem. If he is very stressed, he drinks more.
He doesn't drink until evening when he gets off work, and I have noticed a few times where once he would get home (already intoxicated) he wouldn't have anymore to drink then go to bed an hour or two later; he'll still pee though.View Thread
I am 57 year old male. Last year in January of 2012, I was suffering from my bladder not emptying fully. I could not sleep for more than an hour before waking up with a deep numb pain in my lower abdomen. It took two months for my pcp(family doctor)to figure out I needed a sonogram after many other tests. I then had to wait another month to see a urologist. I had a cystoscopy(?)done. In so many words he said my bladder was "shot". And he said that after having to wait so long did more damage and stretched my bladder. At first I was on a permanent catheter and urine bag. Then I was allowed to intermittent catheter.
Even though this was much better than having a tube up my phallus constantly and could still have sex AND EJACULATE, it seemed i had irritation all the time in my phallus(penis). I felt desperate and called an out of town University Hospital's urology department. They asked which doctor I wanted to be seen by. However my desperation overtook me and I said please give me the soonest available appointment with any urologist. note: don't do this, you will probably get a doctor who is not getting that much "business" and that could be he/she is not competent.
In a week I was seen. I saw a young doctor who barely gave me the time of day. And he was very irritable, overachieving and just really nasty. However again my anxiety and suffering overcame me and when he suggested a turp procedure i jumped at it. He told me nothing about any termporary or permanent pros and cons. He said he was confident that my problem would be cured or alleviated by the turp. Most of all, HE NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT PERMANENT RETROGRADE EJACULATION PRIOR. After the treatment I was urinating like a donkey for the summer of 2012. However in four weeks after surgery my first sex since prior to the turp, My orgasm since and to this day is not only dry but feels like nothing, just going through the motions.
I am so tense now, i feel like hell. My dry orgasms give me no relief from sexual tension. I don't even want to hear the word sex. But I still am not internally sterile so sooner or later you need some sexual relief. But I won't even make love to my left or right hand. Quite frankly, I don't want to live anymore.
A doctor replied on another website said there are reconstructive surgeries. However I doubt these are available but only to those who are wealthy and are probably inconsistent.
What ever happened to the Hippocratic Oath "first do no harm". And anyway I have to self catheter again. My current urologist says I probably never had an enlarged prostate to begin with and that turp destroys that part of the anatomy that allows semen to come out of your penis instead of now going into your bladder.
please help!View Thread
The reason you get the brush-off is that semen texture, color, volume, etc. are NOT A MEDICAL PROBLEM, unless you're trying to conceive and have been having difficulty (meaning six months without success). Just because you want it to be different doesn't mean that it should be or that it's a medical problem. Infections like prostatitis are a problem, and in fact that one can be quite difficult to treat effectively.
Since there are a collection of about a dozen factors that contribute to the characteristics, it's nearly impossible to change the fluid in a specific way intentionally, nor is it important. Since you should not be trying to conceive if you have any infection (and generally cannot if you're taking an antibiotic), the concern would only be in treating the infection, not in the semen consistency. I know that you didn't ask about conception, but that's the only factor the urologist is going to use when considering whether your semen characteristics are appropriate. Otherwise the issue is moot, non-medical.
It is always the patient's responsibility to get the answers they want from their doctor. The doctor is only responsible for health issues, not cosmetic issues or bedside manner.View Thread
This is something that you should have checked by a urologist within the next two weeks.View Thread
Yes the urologist has looked at it, and thought that the inflammation was due to a skin infection. Dermatologist gave me a clean chit. So I went back to the uro and he put me on a dose of B12.
You could be right on the lingering inflammation; however it's close to 7 months with little but definite improvement.
I suspected thrombosis because I noticed the elevation of 2 dorsal blood vessels at the base of the glans, which was not there before. This elevation is probably normal for some folks, but for me they appeared only after the rough masturbation. Also the pain and tenderness radiates from this region of the penis.
As for the numbness I think the body can feel only one sensation at a place. So if a place is inflamed, one can't really feel pleasure there.
I am obviously at a loss to understand what's going with my body and just waiting out at the moment.View Thread
