Idiot. If you can't afford the fee, just admit it. Obviously your so-called career as a "web designer" pays pretty badly. <clip> > has any one had > any exp, with the Prostatits Center, in Tucson, az, a Doc, John Polacheck > thanks any imput would be great If CP is what it appears to be, Dr. John may be on the right track but didn't have all the pieces to this puzzling problem the last time I spoke to him. There are reported cases where massage works but the consensus is that in most cases the current practice is not effective. It is my belief an infection anywhere in the reproductive can cause the symptoms of CP. I would advise anyone with symptoms of CP that didn't respond to antibiotics to go to a fertility clinic for seamen analysis. jrh > ...go to a fertility clinic for > seamen analysis. The Marines have nothing to do with this! >> ...go to a fertility clinic for >> seamen analysis. >The Marines have nothing to do with this! very funny, a typo, a response and spell checker without context, jrh > I would like some advise, this january, I woke up one morning and was having > a terrible time peeing, went in to see my GP, had a blood test done,, PSA [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > thanks any imput would be great > ken Dr Polacheck has helped some but some also have not had a good experience. But that's something that can be said about any urologist. They simply do not have a good handle on the problems of the prostate. And it isn't simply a single problem but varied and complex. I would certainly talk to more than one urologist. Surgery should be a last resort but too many urologist want to go there too fast. You also should educate yourself about the problems. Try www.prostatitis.org . It doesn't cost anything to look and learn. Shongololo will try to steer you to his forum where he can make a buck and I wouldn't say that you will get bad advice there but they are very opinionated and don't want you to look anywhere else. The above site will not tell you what to do or direct you to any specific clinic or procedure. You will have to decide what course you want to follow. Best of luck to you. > Dr Polacheck has helped some but some also have not had a good > experience. But that's something that can be said about any > urologist. Polacheck is NOT a urologist, idiot. He's a retired, washed-up ship's doctor, ex-military, with a penchant for mens' bums. > Try www.prostatitis.org Worst site on the net, run by people who do not have Prostatitis, and who run lots of other "foundations" as well. Keep away. > > Dr Polacheck has helped some but some also have not had a good > > experience. But that's something that can be said about any [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Worst site on the net, run by people who do not have Prostatitis, and > who run lots of other "foundations" as well. Keep away. Polacheck is a Internal Med Dr. But the statement that Urologist don't know how to handle these problems still stands. Speaking of penchants, you have one for using insults and unintelligent dialog to reply to those with whom you disagree. Perhaps if you really tried to be helpful and kept the dialog on a higher plane, you might be more successful in attracting folks to your web site. |
