joyful. My best wishes and prayers are for all of you. Whoever you are,

I have had a serious bout of prostatitis after taking Prilosec...I
have heard similar stories from others about Aciphex and Prilosec.
Has anyone here had a  similar experience
Can anyone recommend a PPI that does not inflame the prostate?

I've already posted here about my prostatitis some weeks ago. I'm 30 years
old and I was on therapy with ciproxin (37 days) and bactrim (7 days). I've
interrupted bactrim due to a misunderstanding with my urologist: he first
told me to take bactrim for a week; then, after 10 days ...

Is it normal for a urologist to sat that he is not going to give you
any more pain medication? Let me first tell you about my history. I am

   I've been suffering from prostatitis for several years now. I got tired
of just taking antibiotics, and decided to try a "natural doctor". His first

I had a brief unprotected sexual encounter about 3 weeks back (I am 26
year old male, was with a female whom I do not know). It was brief in
the sense that the unprotected contact/penetration only went on for

the Treatment of Category III Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain
Syndrome.

I am 34 years old.  I started getting pain in the groin while running
and doing almost any physical , sexual activity about 2 years ago.  To

Thank you so much for your help,

thanks...
