Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / February 2004can weight affect prostate?
I'm 22 years old, and I intermittently have a couple of symptoms of an enlarged prostate. I have gone to the doctor, and he said that my prostate is of normal size. Occasionally I get the urge to urinate, and when I do I have a rather low pressure stream, and only about 5 seconds worth a urine comes out. It's not a really strong urge or anything though. It never wakes me up at night, or anything dramatic like that. Also, sometimes after I ejaculate, or every once in a great whilke at a random time, I get a very dull ache in my prostate. It usually doesn't last too long, though. My question is, since these things are so intermittent, does it indicate a problem? Also, could weight have something to do with it? I'm a rather big guy at 290 lbs. If any of you have intelligent input, I would love to hear it.

You could also try something really simple and safe for the next month if you like too? Drink lot's of good quality water, ( like eight 8oz. glasses per day ), and take 6 raw garlic cloves per day as well, ( dice up the cloves and swallow without chewing ), for the next month. Three garlic cloves in the morning & three garlic cloves before bed. This will help flush out your system and of course the garlic has many wonderful health benefits. See how you feel after the month is over? and In regards to weight? Maybe it is stressing your lower vertebrae and something is out of line? Do you slouch? Losing some pounds couldn't hurt and visiting a chiropracter for an adjustment might be an option? I met this really kewl chiropracter and spoke with him for about an hour recently. This guy was better than half the urologists I have met.....lol.....no lies......if you find a good one, you might be surprised by the options and therapy they can provide for you. That's all pretty safe and some thing's to consider. Sorry can't be of more help to you. Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor. Please consult with your own medical practicioner.

I know it can irritate the bladder and urethra, but how about the prostate? I drink a lot of caffinated soda. > "Jason" < wrote.. > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > competent professional medical advice which encompasses your unique medical > condition.

The jury is out whether or not caffeine effects symptoms as some say it does and other's say it doesn't? One thing though is that drinking a "lot" of soda cannot be that healthy. It does dehydrate you and the aluminum cans they package soda in has been scrutinized in regards to the suspected leaking of metals into the drink. You should probably cut down significantly or eliminate drinking soda all together. My uneducated opinion. Regards. >That sounds like a decent plan. Here's another thing... does caffinee affect >the prostate? I know it can irritate the bladder and urethra, but how about >the prostate? I drink a lot of caffinated soda. Of course. Hasn't your uro told you to get off all caffeine? Next to cocoa and chocolate it's one of the most toxic things you can subject your prostate to. In my youth I noticed that anytime I'd eat any chocolate before sex that my orgasms tended to be more intense. Little did I realize that it was just my prostate trying to rid itself of the poison. Sinse I've gotten on a restricted diet I can really tell the difference. the occasional lapse I have when I eat something with chocolate or caffeine I have prostate and bladder pains for days. >> "Jason" < wrote.. >> [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] >medical >> condition. The above comments are only general suggestions for discussion I have been suffering from chronic abacterial prostatitis for about three years and have been wondering the same thing as Jason. Is weight a factor? I am 6 ft tall and about 227 lbs. I suffer from a slight case of dunlop's disease ( my belly dun lopped over my belt). Carrying extra weight in the abdominal area, and being a little overweight can't be good for prostatitis. Could some of the readers of this ng weigh in on this too? > I'm 22 years old, and I intermittently have a couple of symptoms of an > enlarged prostate.

I've always wondered if the unconscious tightening and tensing of the stomach muscles in an effort to keep one's belly in, might aggravate and/or contribute to pelvic muscle dysfunction? Maybe it's better to just let your belly hang out guys instead of always tightening it and holding it in? Do a quick test on yourself. Are you tensing your stomach muscles now without even knowing it? You got to admit, letting it all hang out would be a great incentive to lose some of those pounds.....hehe .°.·,_,·.°.·,_,·.°.·,_,·.°.·,_,·.°.·,_ ,·.°.·,_,·.°.·,_,·.°.·,_,·.°.·,_,·.°. >"bradmac" wrote.. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >Just an added note: Will doing situp exercises exacerbate prostatitis?
