sex education needs to improve in Thailand, the prostitutes still think giving blow jobs without condoms is safe, and if they spit out the guys semen they won’t get infected. Tried teaching a beach road girl about the risks with giving BJs and she just didn’t believe me. 

He either had health problems that was too much to live with, or mental health issues like depression, hope he’s in a better place now. Apparently death is not the end.

Thanks man.  Well I am going to weis-anderson which is supposed to be the best in the USA if not the world.  It may be a good investment for you also.  Best of luck to you too.

I live in the UK so cannot do that, I have the NHS, that’s all I can hope for, next week I have a urologist appointment. Physical therapist can only do so much, we both agreed that there is something else going on that needs to be investigated, hopefully I’ll get a pelvic scan CT/MRI or something. But I’m worried the urologist will just go for the oh try this antibiotic for a month approach.. which I will refuse to do. I don’t have a wife or family. I’m single, so I have no reason to hang around if the urologist is a useless idiot.

I have both.  My prostate is enlarged ( informed with imaging) and I have every prostatitis symptom.  There's such a thing as CP/CPPS chronic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome which I've been diagnosed with several times by several different doctors.  I'm going to do both.  Get the prostate taken care of and head to physical therapy in California for the pelvic pain afterwards.  Right now I have a physical obstruction that needs to be dealt with in the first order.  Thanks.  We're leaving bkk and heading back to udon to work on the visas in laos in the next weeks.

Yes physical therapy is the only thing that helped reduce my symptoms, but it’s all about finding the right physical therapist that’s very very good, I believe there are pelvic floor physical therapists that specialise in treating this issue but I can’t find one near me. I wasted a lot of money on chiropractors and those kinds of people, be careful who you spend on your money on. Anyway good luck. Hope you cure this horrible issue.

He won't really know until that catheter comes out.  It will relax everything.  Most docs don't put one in with prostatitis.  They think it's bph though.

 

I found out today that mine is (probably) nonbacterial.  The doc gave me three medicines I've already been on that were of no good.  He's a nice guy and at least he tested my fluid but he couldn't really help me much.  This is one of the most difficult things to do anything about though and I don't harbor any resentment towards him.  He tried.  I'm going to go back after a month of no antibiotics and ask for a second prostate fluid culture to confirm it's nonbacterial.

 

I'd recommend really anyone with prostatitis symptoms to head to the USA or one of the well known prostate docs in India.  Thailand is just not the best place to be in with this problem.  The only reason I'm hanging around is my wife has nowhere to go and our house was broken into a few days ago.  That and we just got married and Im not really safe to travel alone.  Just a terrible situation.  My urine is sterile and I'm not running fevers.  Not much I can do with this until I get out of here.

 

Wherever you go for treatment, if it's prostatitis and not bph, expect to hang around for at least 2-9 months.  They really HAVE to non-invasively investigate your illness and attempt to treat it before they hollow out or remove an organ in your body.  If they don't, it's just shallow quackery for money.  Not only that, but if you have bacterial prostatitis and they only remove the part of the prostate that is pushing against the urethra with a laser, you will still have pain.   Why?  Because most of the prostate is still in tact and it still harbors the infection and you will still have organ pain and referred pain to the penis, testicles, perineum, and anal cavity.  The only way to eliminate bacterial prostatitis surgically is with a true invasive turp where they hollow out the organ or prostatectomy.  Be careful out there.

If you’re issue is non bacterial. Do some research on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, is can produce very similar symptoms  like prostatitis but it’s not that.  The prostate isn’t the issue, your pelvis is the issue.

It sounds like you have flares.  It's typical for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome sufferers to have these.  You're stressed out and your body releases toxins which aggravates your prostate which may or may not have bacteria in it. 

 

Sometimes patients have had bacteria in their prostate for so long that it actually develops stones or "prostatic calculi".  These leave the prostate permanently larger and inflamed.  This can happen in conjunction with benign prostatic hyperplasia which only aggravates a "normally" occuring issue. 

 

I've actually had a ct scan done on my prostate which revealed that it is 5 x 3.7 x 3.  That .7 may not sound like much, but it is enough to press on my urethra and cause me to strain every time I urinate.  This is to the point where I've developed bilateral inguinal hernias.

 

Air travel for some reason causes flares in me which normally end about two days or so after I arrive in Thailand.  This time this flare is just staying put.  I had a uti caused by urinary retention about two months ago and I think it set my already inflamed prostate into overload.  I was on doxycyline for a month and it's still so troublesome that I am unable to walk.

 

Heres what I am doing right now, and what I would recommend to you;

 

First thing;  find a urologist who is willing to do a culture of your prostate fluid.  Without doing this, just some generic antibiotic (like the one I was on, doxy) probably won't do you much good.  After doxy I was on a month of Bactrim which also isn't helping.  I'm hoping that this recent prostate fluid test will show exactly what I'm infected with, but I'm not sure.  Dr Viroj in Bangkok is doing a prostate fluid culture on me.  Aside from that, it seems that I don't have much option with him but antibiotics.  However antibiotics, the right antibiotics, cures about 60 percent of chronic prostatitis sufferers.  However, you may be discouraged to discover that your CPPS symptoms may remain.  That is because after the prostate infection is gone, you need to retrain the muscles.  They're sore and pissed off from years of straining and pain.

 

One very highly recommended urology guy is Dr Daniel Shoskes out of the Cleveland clinic in Ohio.  Basically you want to go to anyone who will start with a culture of your prostate fluid.  Anyone else won't be able to do much because they're swinging a baseball bat at a ball they can't even see, effectively.

Second thing;  get into physical therapy.  Find a male pelvic floor specialist who uses a tool called a therawand to apply gentle pressure on the trigger points in your pelvic floor.  This will release them and give you deep lasting relief and lasting comfort.  Also try biofeedback.  These two have been clinically studied with proven positive results.

These guys are probably the best in the world and I am headed there later this year myself.

 

Last thing, you need to get your head straight.  Find a psychologist who deals with chronic pain patients who is equipped to deal with your issues, help you relax and cope with your pain.

 

As far as medications go, the only thing that has helped me with this is marijuana (not available in thailand yet) and temazepam.  Without temazepam, I have to get up to urinate about 20 times a night.  With it, maybe three.  Some people believe in putting valium or baclofen in their bums but for me this just made it more difficult to urinate.  Alpha blockers like Flomax and alfuzosin also help some people, but we're of no effect to me.

 

I hope all of this helps you.  I'm not a doctor, I'm just an old mortician, and a patient.  I've gained all of this knowledge from years of torment.  I hope someone else can learn from it.

 

 

Thanks for the tips but I’ve read about all that stuff before, as I mentioned, I believe mine is caused by pelvic trauma, not an infection, even though my symptoms did start one day after a night of sex, it was protected sex. I’ve had the finger up the bum a few times and never felt any pain when the doctor felt my prostate and doctor never said my prostate felt Enlarged. 

I do indeed have flares, for me, exercise, certain physical activity, edging when masturbating, having sex 3 times or more in one day, riding a bicycle with the seat high up, all these can flare me up. 

Basically my pelvic structure is messed up, maybe I have a twisted pelvis or something, and my pubic bones are not right, physio therapist diagnosed me with mechanical issues with my pelvis. This was all caused by that bicycle fall. Pelvic floor release stretches can help a little bit. There isn’t a pelvic floor PT anywhere near me where I live unfortunately. 

Mental health is bad, I’m quiet, don’t talk much anymore, find it hard to fit in at work and be social, suicidal thoughts, can’t really get a girlfriend with this pelvic problem, I’ll probably be alone forever, can’t exercise, not really happy, future isn’t looking good. Not sure what will happen. 

Been living with this for almost 3 years. Sounds like yours is worse than mine, I’m not taking any medication, I can ride a bicycle to work providing the saddle is the lowest it can be, I can work, I only get up to pee at night around 2 to 3 times per night. Some days are worse than others, I’m not bed ridden, but my symptoms just suck, it makes life suck, I miss being a normal healthy human. 

Just want to say thank you for posting this, as sometimes it feels like I’m alone in suffering with pelvic floor dysfunction and pelvic discomfort/pain. I posted about my issues long ago on this forum and a lot of people think it’s all in my head. 

Im 27, for me it’s pelvic trauma related. Life was good, then had a bicycle accident on holiday, a nasty one, but didn’t break any bones or anything, bad impact right on my left pelvic area. Forward 6 months later I was having a night of sex in Thailand and one day later bam my ‘prostatitis’ symptoms started. Done semen culture, urine tests, blood tests, prostate exams, all normal. Been to chiropractors, Osteopaths, no help, saw a neurologist, misdiagnosed me, saw a physio therapist last year who actually helped slightly but my symptoms are still bad enough to make me miserable. I have a urologist appointment this month but doubt anything will come from it. 

I also have urination symptoms sometimes like frequent and painful urination so that’s why I have to see a urologist. 

Last year I quit my job and left England to Thailand with the intention of ending my life because of this, it really does mess with your head, I ended up losing my wallet and I decided to go back home. 

Anyway, good luck, hope you find a cure or treatment that helps, message me if you need a chat about anything.

animal products have been linked to prostate cancer but that doesn’t mean that’s the reason you have it, could be genetics, bad luck..

Jeez I bright Sidegra a couple of times at a pharmacy in bkk last year and never even thought about Thai police, I may of even taken them on a plane with me and didn’t get asked for my prescription, I maybe got lucky? 

The healthiest beverage is water, followed by herbal teas  like green tea, Hibiscus tea etc.. and then Coffee 

I guess she wasn’t happy, or had mental health problems, who knows, seems like she had a decent life, some people can’t handle fame very well..RIP

Tell her big boobs isn’t the meaning of life and it will only make her happy in the short term, tell her to stop looking at other women on Instagram and Facebook and wanting to be like them, tell her you love her the way she is now and make her feel good about her small boobs. 

Yeah turmeric is super healthy, I think the turmeric capsules would be more expensive, look in supermarkets to see if they sell fresh turmeric or ground turmeric. It has anti inflammatory properties, good to prevent colon cancer. 

Stop buying processed foods and stick to whole plant foods like fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, beans, nuts and seeds, sweet potatoes etc.. high in fiber and contains natural sugars. We evolved running around naked in África eating whole plant foods, not processed added sugar junk. 

I know you can buy it in pharmacies in Bangkok and Pattaya but not sure about Chiangmai, might have to get it from a doctor over there. 

Be careful about the multi vitamin tablets, certain vitamins can have negative effects in pill form like calcium and vitamin A. A healthier idea would be to do research on foods high in iron or certain nutrients you think your girlfriend is lacking and get her to eat it. Make sure she has a healthy gut, no parasites and stuff so she absorbs the nutrition from her food. Definitely need to stop that salon stuff, all the chemicals and cleaning not good for hair health 

here’s an article from New York Times best seller Dr Michael Greger on women’s health 

https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/womens-health/

Clearly it could be related to your back issues, it could be a severe mechanical skeletal issue, circulation or nerve problems, go to see a decent doctor would be a good first step. Also eat healthy, cut out the processed junk food and unhealthy fats, See if it helps. Maybe if your overweight then losing some weight might help

Here’s a review:

His “science” does indeed seem rather shaky. LDL level is not, in isolation, a predictor for heart disease. And if part of the solution is taking statins...

Perhaps most importantly, if you have atherosclerosis, you need vitamin K2 to remove calcified plaque from the arteries. K2 is not present in a vegan diet.

Well he was success stories on his website...

His heart disease reversal diet has been published in the scientific journal of cardiology, basically it’s scientifically proven .. 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5466936/

healthy vegans who eat green vegetables with added fat like nuts or oils will get enough vitamin K and K2 can be made by our gut bacteria unless the person has taken a lot of antibiotics

There’s many things that can add to your longevity and health. Your living in a warm sunny climate so that’s a big advantage, getting lots of vitamin D from the sun. Having a Thai wife or Thai lady will also help you live longer, sex is healthy and having a family gives you a sense of purpose. Doing some work will give you a sense of purpose too.

Diet is also a big one, some people are lucky and eat junk food and drink alcohol and have no health issues, most people will get health issues though (millions die of cancer and heart disease every year). 

Eating a whole foods plant based diet with little or no animal products seems to be the diet that will increase your longevity and keep you in good health (check out the blue Zones). 

Animal agriculture uses a lot of water, all those billions of cows, pigs, chickens and ducks need water to drink, also need water to grow crops to feed those billions of animals, eating meat is destroying the planet.

Maybe a parasite infection?

Well a hotel I’ve stayed at many times has gone up in price for July when I look on Agoda to book, over £200 for 1 week in standard double room, normally it’s only around £100.  maybe I should wait and in rain season prices will go back down
