Hello Everyone,
This is a question for my boyfriend since he is too proud to get help
on the Internet.
Well, Anyways, A few months ago, my boyfreind started having this

FWIW, I had  to see a Uro due to a small bump in the PSA.  DRE and
retest of PSA showed all clear. I mentioned to him about the chronic
prostatitis and he gave me some samples of Uroxatral to try.
Apparently it  is primarily for BPH but he said it sometimes provides

I just had 2 more urine analysis/culture, which showed nothing. No
WBC/RBC, no organisms found.
Could the last sample just have been contaminated?

I try to thread the catheter into the bladder to self-catheterize
myself, but nothing comes out. I certainly push the catheter in far
enough. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Not sure if the last one went through.
Sorry, for not believing some of you about Bacteria and E.Coli. Well,
it turns out that I do in fact have "Escherichia Coli." I had like 5
urinalysis/cultures before, none of which discovered it. This last one

Sorry for not believing many of you on this board.
It maybe that 5% is really bacterial prostatitis and we are that 5%. I
did not believe that I was, for a long time. All my Urinalysis would
come out NEG for bacteria, and I would assume it was not there. I had

Hey geeks.

Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of discussion here in the

I don't read this newsgroup much anymore for two reasons:  a serious and
sincere post very often results in an abusive attack on the poster, and the
newsgroup has arranged itself into "camps," if you will, each camp refusing
to acknowledge that there may be such things as bacterial ...

This is something i found on the web...thought it would be interesting
to some of you.
"Bacterial organisms from the skin and stool are usually the
contaminants," he said. "One of the more common is the E. coli

OK, I'm ready to try going the avenue of nanobacteria for my urinary
problems.
I'm dead certain my condition is caused by a bacterial infection of
some sort even tho' they can't culture anything from my urine.

I have had prostatitis for about 4 years now and it comes and goes.
Its mostly gone though.  Last time it manifested, I also had
urethritis.  I tested negative for STD's.  Now, just like 3 months
later, I think it is coming back...again with urethritis.  How common

What are the odds of a bacterial infection of the prostate being
resistant to abx's?  Wouldn't the bacteria likely be susceptible by
most abxs?  If not, wouldn't swtiching to a 2nd class of abx's
(asuming u tried cipro first) likely result in it being sensitive.

Hello Everyone, I am not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I don't
know where else to go.
I have been seeing my fiance for 6 months now. 2 years ago
he had prostate (non cancerous)removal surgery. This is my first experience

Mine started out with slight dysuria. UA & urine cultures were
negative.  IVP showed slight force on bladder, due to slightly
enlarged prostate. Doctor recommended frequent ejaculation. Well this
i think caused my prostate to become congested. I started to get a

I believe my prostatitis was initially caused by an STD (that's what
was found)although I think it's gone now, so anyway I don't want to
tell people about it.  There's a problem though, I can't drink alcohol
as a result of this disease and it looks like this will continue for a
