Prostatitis

I am male, 37 no bad medical history, suffer gout occassionally.I have just been to a urologist, who listened to my symptoms and examined my prostate stating that it felt ok. I had to give a urine and blood sample and now awaiting the results. My doctor wrote down "prostatitis?".

I have looked around, here are my symptoms : watery semen, lack of ejaculation( used to spurt now dribbles). Slight pain in the groin,top of each thigh on left and right, a tight pain rather than a sharp one. Lower back pain on both sides, slight throbbing when lay down.

I DO not have the following : blood in urine, increased need to urinate, blood in stools or fever.

Can anyone help as the specialist did nt seem too worried about the lower back pain.

Thanks

Hi, there. Willing to help you. You need to know the common symptoms of prostatitis:
blood in the urine or semen
pain or burning with urination
pain with bowel movement
pain with ejaculation
pain in the low back, above the pubic bone, between the genitals and anus, the tip of the penis, and the urethra
difficulty or straining to urinate
frequent or urgent need to urinate

And every people has different symptoms, so it is commmon that you do not have all symptoms. And if you have the lower back pain, you can take antibiotics or herbal therapy Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill. Hope that can helps you.

Hi,

There is considerable overlap among the nerves, such that patients with problems in the prostate or the bladder may complain of pain in the lower back. Hence, if you are receiving treatment for the prostatitis, then the problem in the back is likewise being addressed.
