Wondering if anyone has any comments about this for drainage of fluid and
possible treatment for calcification of the prostate? If so what sort of
practioner would do this?

Thanks

It may not work for everyone but it works for me. But finding a practioner
may be difficult. My wife does it for me.

hi david - nothing can be done for the
calcification inside the prostate.  these are known as prostate stones
and are common in men as they age.  in fact, 80% of men have prostate
stones by the time they are 60.  they show up as white spots on the
ultra-sound of the prostate.  

your enlarged prostate could be pushing into your bladder forming a ring
into the bottom.  this causes the urine to pool inside the ring and is
held back.   ever notice that after you are done, that if you bend over
or do some activity within a minute, you can pee some more and it is a
lot more than usual.  this is that pool of urine spilling out of that
ring.  have them do an ultra-sound for this.  it's painless.  

you are laid down on a table and an ultra sound is given to see how much
fluid you have.  then you go to the bathroom and empty as much as you
possibly can.  you then go back to the table and they do the ultra sound
again.  this is how i found out that i had this condition.  they can
tell you exactly how much cc of urine you are holding back each time.
of course, this condition causes the bladder to fill up quicker, which
could be one of the symptoms you are describing.

The only way i've ever heard any one cure their chronic non-baterial
prostatitis on the internet is through drainage so i'm sure it must be
the best way out. I have attempted drainage using devices made for this
sort of thing but whenever they come into contact with my prostate the
pain is unbareable so i hvae to stop without even draining the tiniest
bit of fluid, even when on pain killers! I am hoping to get drunk using
alcohol to numb the pain and do it that way as I have yet to find an
alternative
