Lived with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis for 10 years. Found the solution. As of today, I don’t have it anymore
January 21st, 2012I’ve lived with bouts of prostatitis from 14 to my present age of 25. The episodes would last for months, or even years at a time, and subsequently made me prone to anxiety and depression. It seemed like I would have to live with this pain my entire life and I finally figure out how to fix it a few weeks back. This kind of advice should be free and I hope it helps all out there facing the same problem.
Tests & diagnosing started when I was around 14, where at first the urologist had a few things he wanted verify. During the 5 visits, he didn’t find anything; then brought in a team of urologists to help troubleshoot what seemed to be a problem that was “all in my head.” I scoffed at that and got into shouting matches with my parents and the doctors (this was a world-renowned children’s hospital). Over the next few months, they did the following tests:
All results came back negative for anything they thought would cause the problem. About 2 weeks after the last test, the prostatitis went away. Bizarre.
Anyways I got the episodes a few more times on and off. About 2 years ago when I had it bad, I was prescribed Elmiron, which didn’t really do much expect lose some hair on my head. Most recently I started to get them again about 2 months ago. I noticed this happened a day after sitting on the toilet for a while reading a magazine.
Then I started to put the pieces together. Here’s what I thought: the muscles seemed to be fatigued after this and irritated my prostate. I got to thinking: “Ok for the next few days, I’m going to not push hard when peeing, keep a high fiber diet, and avoid anything that would strain the muscles.” Another very important thing I did was focus on keeping the PC muscles as calm as possible. These muscles seems to tense up like a nervous twitch throughout the day, like grinding your teeth and you don’t even realize you’re doing it. Focus on keeping them calm may be tough at first, but doing it for long periods will make this almost automatic.
The results for fantastic. Instead of the pain usually getting worse and worse as the days from the initial episode occurred, the pain subsided more and more to the point where I didn’t even notice it one bit.
To avoid non-bacterial prostatitis, take it easy on your PC muscles.

Prostate Cancer: Diagnosis
July 2nd, 2011
A 55 year-old man, who refused a rectal exam for years, is informed that he has prostate cancer.
Urinary Tract Infection
July 1st, 2011Most urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria entering the urethra from outside. Around 70% of all causes is considered to be the bacterium E-coli (Escherichia coliform). E-coli is a bacteria that is normal to be found in the bowel and generally harmless. However if it gets in(to) the bladder it will breed rapidly and start causing symptoms rapidly (within hours). Bacterium will usually reach the bladder
Ways to treat urinary tract infection are not hard to find, and antibiotics prove effective in all except for the most extreme of cases. Most foods are perfectly safe to consume if you are at a high risk or have suffered from the problem before, but there are a few that can act as triggers for bacterial activity and certainly aggravate an existing infection.
Tea and coffee should be kept to a minimum, and if possible eliminated of your regular diet altogether. Caffeine in the drinks will concentrate the acidity of your urine, which will help bacteria to develop, and cause for greater intensity of pain when you pass water. As an alternative, try drinking herbal teas. Not only will they not cause or aggravate infections, infusions such as Green tea could possess active ingredients that will be beneficial to the health of the urinary system.
Carbonated drinks are also an irritant. Often containing high levels of caffeine themselves, the high sugar or artificial sweetener content will have a negative effect.
Other foods can irritate the system, but these are vary from person to person. Particular foods to look out for, and possibly monitor your reactions to them include, chocolate, high sugar foods, processed foods (because of the high salt and sugar used in their production), dairy products and fried food. Essentially though, it is very tricky to determine which food is a trigger, without a prolonged period of testing, which is rarely practical.
There are also a high number of foods that can be beneficial to keeping any problems at distance. As with a lot of healthy diets, balance is important. You should try to maintain a good intake of fresh fruit and vegetables each day, and consume a lot of greens. Natural ingredients in these foods, one passed through the digestive system, will help to increase the healthiness of urine, and reduce attractive environments for the bacteria to operate in.
It is always best to consult your doctor for professional guidance in treating urinary tract infections. Maintaining a healthy regime will certainly help, but it is only part of the answer if the problem is recurring, and in such cases a more dedicated program of treatment will yield better results.
