uroxatral
I don't know if what follows will help you, but I have had a similar problem to you. Last year, I got an STD after I picked up a girl at the bar and the condom broke. I went to my doctor after I started feeling a little "peculiar" and he prescribed me 7 days of doxycycline, which seemed to help, but didn't solve the problem. I started getting a clear discharge so I went back and the doctor had me tested for STDs. I was negative. He then told me it was probably stress.
t know what triggers this problem and there is no cure. Uroxatral is an excellent option and you have gotten at least a partial response-- good. There is no risk of cancer or other serious impairment or long term damage to your pelvic organs. Symptomatic relief with Uroxatral, and possibly antiinflammatory agents give many men some relief.
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).
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.
Separately, due to a Vitamin D deficiency my doc found, he put me on 50,000 units Vitamin D per week for 8 weeks, followed by biweekly doses. And guess what...the Vitamin D almost instantly "cured" the BPH. I've seen that Vitamin D can affect the growth of prostate cells over the long term, but this worked as quickly (and about as well) as Flomax. (FYI: I'm diabetic and overweight, taking metformin, Byetta, lisinopril, HCTZ, gabapentin, lovastatin and Lantus).
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.
If only the swelling but not the pain returns, I cannot explain. I would recommend just observing what is happening every few months. You could try a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen for a week or two. If you are not allergic, do not have any problem with kidney function and do not have any ulcer history, you could take 600mg.four times per day for a week and see if this makes a difference.
Doctor prescribed bentyl - didn’t work. Blood test is normal except for low protein due to diarrhea. Not dehydrated. Stool sample test is normal.
Chronic prostatitis is a possibility for you and if so is a challenging problem to deal with, often requiring repeated, prolonged courses of antibiotics with the sorts of drugs you have received- fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as Cipro or levofloxacin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The best approach to this difficult to manage problem is to commit to work in ongoing fashion with a urologist who you have faith in.

Can anyone tell me what Symbyax is and what effects it has on you? I have been on disability for two years and the insurance company video taped me pushing a grocery cart and lifting a bag of potatoes and canceled my policy. I had no restrictions. Long story short, I am in chronic pain and on heavy pain meds so my doc took me out of work Right now I have ZERO income and happen to have a dr's appointment today and when I saw my PCP I broke down. He gave me samples of this Symbyax.
