Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / October 2003A few questions
Hi all I recently visted the Urologist on reference form my regular doctor for the diagnosis of what he thought was prostatitis, I have many of the symptoms I see talked about here,I have to urinate constantly,it's generally uncomfortable after I urinate or ejaculate, I have alot of soreness at times in the lower abdomen area. I saw the urologist,and he poked and prodded,did some tests,and said he saw no sign of infection. I have to go back for a renal ultrasound,and shome ghastly procedure where they are going to put a camera in me like a catheter. My question is,he basically told me that prostatitis is not what I have,because I have no infection, however, I thought there was a non bacterial prostatitis. I guess what he's looking for now is kidney stones,but I have never had any pain in my lower back to speak of.. I guess I am just wondering if it's still possible for me to have prostatitis? The frequency is what is bothering me the most, I have to wake up to urinate at least 4 times a night,sometimes 5 or 6.I am not getting any sleep. any help would be appreciated. How old are you?

You're a little young for BPH, so I guess you could have non-bacterial prostatitis. However, abdominal pain is not a common symptom (at least to my understanding). The pain from prostatitis is normally in the perineal region (the area between the anus and the scrotum). I'm not a doctor, but you're uro may be after another cause for the frequency issue.

If you have the symptoms of prostatitis chances are you have prostatitis. Ruling out kidney stones is a very good idea. However you should be on antibiotics and not wait until you know for sure about the kidney stones. If you hold off on antibiotics you might be very sorry in the long run. I suggest Bactrim. >Hi all >I recently visted the Urologist on reference form my regular doctor for the [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >sleep. >any help would be appreciated. i am currently taking septra. > If you have the symptoms of prostatitis chances are you have prostatitis. > Ruling out kidney stones is a very good idea.

They are brand names for Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. > i am currently taking septra. > > If you have the symptoms of prostatitis chances are you have prostatitis.

I have felt miserable for months, and am just getting better. Kidney stones can make you hurt in your back, but when I was 31, I had one big stone, and extreme pain only in the front abdomen. This time it was only my back. You can get a IVP dye check, which doesn't hurt, and look for stones. A bladder ultra-sound can show if you're retaining urine, which could cause you to go more frequently. Stress and tension can also cause abdominal pain. Good luck...hope you get better soon.
