Uroxatral for prostatitis
Common Questions and Answers about Uroxatral for prostatitis
uroxatral
is this typical of strep prostatitis? Do you think the uroxatral and advodart are an over kill? The ultrasound of my prostate looked back to somewhat normal other than some calium deposits, which he said were a result of prostatitis. Seems like we are starting to weed out causes but the symptoms still seem to be lingering around.
My primary-care doctor and urologist both diagnosed prostatitis via digital-rectal exams. I’ve been on Ciprofloxacin (antibiotic), followed by Sulfamethoxyzole (antibiotic) plus Naproxen (anti-inflammatory). Currently I’m on Uroxatral, to help relax my bladder muscles to ease emptying, and further aid my prostate healing. These medications may be helping, but to be thorough I also had ultrasounds of my bladder and testes and doppler (vascular study) of my penis.
Which of these Rx medications is effective for increasing urine flow, but less interfering with normal ejaculation: Uroxatral or Silodosin?
ultasound done, no official report bur dr looked at and said everything looked ok. next step, catheter for a week and uroxatral, to give bladder a break and shrink. He did not give any more antibiotics. We are going back in 4 days to see if catheter worked if not camera next. Whats going on???? are these rare epi cells cancer indicators???? would a mass or cancer show up non an ultrasound? Thank you for talking to me.
Six months later I went to a GP and he diagnosed me with prostatitis. He prescribed Cipro and Flomax. This helped for a while, but eventually it stopped. Next I went to a urologist. He took a history and did a dre. He said my prostate felt inflamed and I did indeed have prostatitis. The pain was quite severe at this point and I was having problems urinating. He prescribed doxycycline and flomax. This seemed to work for a little while. I returned three months later and told him of my status.
Hello, I'm a 27 year old male that was diagnosed with prostatitis a couple of weeks ago. Three weeks ago I had a cystoscopy done and ever since then it has went down hill.
ve had repeated tests for hiv, syphillus, chlamydia, and gonorrhea, as well as a swab test for HSV 1 and 2, and HPV. All of these tests have been negative for any diseases. Despite my multiple negative tests, my docs have administered a variety of antibiotic regimens, including amoxicillin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin and metronidazole and months of doxycylcine. The only thing that seems to help is ibuprofen.
Ultimately, flomax and drugs like uroxatral can be combined to give maximal medical therapy for BPH. Sometimes men continue to have problems and may be candidates for surgical intervention to improve symptoms.
Frequently, larger prostates can elevate PSA and lead to biopsy. While there is the possibility that your biopsy will yield cancer, it is likely that the increase in PSA is due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
A MD prescribed 2 grams of azithromycin one time for this a week ago. I also have had a previous bout of prostatitis due to Proteus (years ago). My questions are 1. What was my risk of stds (gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, NGU could happen), 2. Would this medication address the STDs and 3. Do I need a "test of cure"?
Treatment for prostatitis involves antibiotic use, frequently for many weeks. It can also be very difficult to treat and some men require multiple treatments with antibiotics. NSAIDS are typically used to treat the symptoms of prostatitis but antibotics are key.
Unfortunately, your situation is not uncommon. I suggest that you continue to see your urologist for treatment.
Yes, I had a colonoscopy done on June 23rd. I had the STD tests done on my own on the 26th. As I said, I was on Levo for four days before I had the STD tests but would being on Levo effect a Herpes blood test? Especially considering the fact that antibiotics have no effect whatsoever on viruses?
Now 5-6 days into medication cipro seems to be helping a bit. I tried masturbation today to test the waters and now I feel worse. I really don't feel it as much the moment I wake up in the morning and it seems to be more noticeable as day progresses.
My Questions:
1. Since this was a high risk encounter, should I be retested for above STDs?
2. Does this sound like Prostatitis? Or what could it be?
2a. I heard prostatitis is hard to cure is that true?
Don't take Cipro!! It can really mess you up! I was on 6 week course of it for prostatitis and it really messed my nerves up. insomnia, anxiety, and numbness in my hands and feet...
) Got back home and was re-tested for STDs--all negative. My doctor suspected prostatitis and put me on Cipro. No change. Went to a urologist who put me on double-strength Bactrim. No change. Then saw another urologist who said the prostatitis wasn't caused by an infection and that's why the drugs hadn't worked. Told me the symptoms would go away and to see him again in 12 months. The symptoms have not gone away.
I am 58 yrs old, have BPH and had not taken medicine for the condition, as symptoms were not that bad. While in S. America in November, I had pain which was thought to be from kidney stones. I was given scopolamine. The doctor didn't ask about BPH and I didn't know that the med had side effects related to prostate. It became hard to urinate any more than small quantities at a time. I began retaining fluids, something that was determined after I returned home to US.
ve been reading more about this disease, and by a strange coincidence the coordinating center for the big national studies of chronic pelvic pain (including prostatitis) is in my department, right down the hall from my office. Based on their work, there is some reason to believe that, except in those cases where there is an obvious infection (with fever, discharge, etc. that I never had), prostatitis is not an infectious disease at all.
Hello,
From your symptoms I would like to rule out prostatitis. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland.It can be due to chronic prostatitis without infection in your case and it can cause pain at the tip of penis.
I would suggest you to consult a urologist and get this evaluated. Treatment depends on the confirmation of diagnosis.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted. Warm regards.
Two days later I started to feel a burn at tip of penis, that got stronger for three following weeks. I will state for sure that my anxiety heightened just then and 8 or 9 symptoms matching prostatitis followed. Some of the symptoms were quite painful (shooting testical pain, etc). After a urethral cotton swab and two sets of urine and blood tests, this things seemed clean.
