Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / January 2004Cold Medications and Prostatitis?!?
I have utilized cold medications for the last few years on and off on a regular basis for cold and sleeping. Could this night medications that have been used long-term cause enough irritation to effect the bladder-neck region/prostate thus mimicing prostatitis? I notice when I take contac or tylenol night cold medications my prostate seems to cause pain. Is this pain a result of an already underlying prostate problem/infection or could it be an aggrevating catalyst around the bladder neck region? >I have utilized cold medications for the last few years on and off on >a regular basis for cold and sleeping.

I can only speak for myself and relate things I have read about others. Any kind of antihistamine, especially OTC, really irritates my prostate and produces all the usual symptoms of a flare-up. I guess my question is why does it do this? Does it irritate an already inflammed prostate or could it be another source like a bladder-neck problem. When I introduce self-massage it only provides minor perineal relieft and antibiotics at this point produce little effect. >>I have utilized cold medications for the last few years on and off on >>a regular basis for cold and sleeping.

Timothey Timothey--------I believe antihistamines cause spasms in the muscles of the bladder neck impairing the flow of urine or in men with BPH can block the flow of urine. |
