Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / October 2005low semen volume...how many have it?
So, I was diagnosed with prostatitis roughly 3.5 months ago now. I'm 25 years old. Was on levaquin for 20 days, and cipro for 30. No real help. Overall, the pain is much less than before, but it's still definitely there. My question is this: While I still get some pain, the most annoying symptom to me thus far is a lack of semen volume. It's probably 1/2 or 1/3 of what it used to be. Is this a common symptom? The odd part is...for the first month or 2 of problems... my ejaculations were 100% normal. Now, the pain is probably 1/2 what it used to be, but the semen volume is WAY down. What's up with that? Sex/ejaculations are nowhere near as satisfying. On top of that, I find it more difficult to go a 'second round'. (The first round seems to go quicker with the extra pressure down there). Anyone else familiar with this? > So, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Anyone else familiar with this? You probably are getting retrograde ejaculation. That is, the semen is going into your bladder. You seem a bit young to have this problem and I am not sure what you can do about it. If you had an infection which could cause some restriction and thus retrograde, that should have been resolved by the Levaquin and Cipro. Some are helped by prostate massage. Some have a non bacterial problem which is much tougher to resolve. Good Luck. Yep, same symptoms exactly. > > So, > > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > Levaquin and Cipro.

I'm really trying to find other people in the same boat as me...how they deal with it....etc.... Thanks... > Yep, same symptoms exactly. > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Levaquin and Cipro.

Sorry for the slow reply, I don't come here that often anymore since the amount of responses doesn't seem to be there. I have had CP for probably 10 years. The volume of semen has reduced considerably since before I had this nasty ailment. Pain, yep have that too, sometimes it's hardly noticable, othertimes it's quite annoying, particularly after sex. As far as satisfaction, seems to be about the same for me other than the pain. I don't have any problems performing tho, it's as good as ever in that regard. Hope that helps, wish they could figure out a way to help us. > RiverMan.. > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > > Levaquin and Cipro. Some are helped by prostate massage.
