Radical Surgery to Treat Prostatitis

You would the youngest prostatitis I have ever seen. I would look into working you up for interstitial cystitis. Radical surgery is your very, very, very last option at your age. Also, try accupuncture, osteopathic manipulation, yogam etc.

Good luck

Youngest prostatitis? I don't think so. Even my urologist says he sees dozens of patients in their 20's. We're not talking about BPH here, but prostatitis - inflammation of the prostate - a common aftermath of STDs like gonorrhea, which is exactly my case.

With so many drug-resistant strains out there, gonorrhea travels up the urethra, antibiotics or not, reaches the prostate and has a party. Once harbored in there, it's nearly impossible to get rid of as it forms calcifications which antibiotics can't penetrate and no drugs known to man can dissolve.

After 8 years of suffering, having failed all treatments, radical surgery isn't the very very very last option anymore, it seems like the only one left.

You are obviously very bothered by your situation. Consider talking with Dr. Korngrad in Florida. He has a good website.

Just like you im 33 years old, i had been suffering this  nightmare for almost two years, but every single urologist is underestimating the pain, the frustration and the progressive  lost of quality in your life...i mean YOUR OWN and UNIQUE LIFE !! i cannot imagine how you can resist 8 years. Im already in contact with the doctor  Krongrad because the last option in our case could be the only one, this is the only testimony that i know about radical prostatoctemy for chronic prostatitis, and after a really intensive search i can tell you that is not so much scientific evidence about the issue . I hope help you, help us, the Dr is a really nice person ready to listen an help; take a look.  Best Regards. German

I am 26 years old battling chronic non-bacterial prostatitis.  I have been going through this for almost a year.  Been off work for a total of 1 month and light-duty since april 2008.  This has taken control of my life.  If you have never delt with this then how can you say that someone is too young or there are other options.  I have been tested for interstial cystitis 3 times because I was told I was young.  Well the medical field relating to the body works in mysterious ways and this is one of them.  I am absolutely behin dhaving the surgery.  I would do it today.  The anti-inflammatories don't work, pain medications don't help, flomax doesn't help.  My stream is still weak, very hard to start, nothing works.  I think that if someone wants this done then it should be done.  I know the risks and would do it today.

Gary, Patrick ,any one who gonna makes the surgery or just made it please let us how is working, over all the evolution post- surgery; its more than important creates a bank of experiences that help us to fight with this frustrating illness, chronic prostatitis.

Actually im living in Poland and two weeks ago i had the opportunity to talk with one of the bests urological surgeons in the country -extremely expensive of course- and  told me that in my age (33) and my case (almost 2 years with nonbacterial chronic prostatitis) the surgery is not an option, because can affects my urine control and my sexual strenght; even he gaves me statistics: 35% of the cases have troubles with erections, and 25-30% with urine control... at least in Poland.

Then whe i asked for a solution or somekind of relief in my conditton (i cannot sit) he told me.. patience, patience, you are young and strong enough...?!?!

and prescribes me IBUPROM MAX, some kind of analgesics like Tylenol, and some suppositories, thats all.

The point is that he scare me about the surgery but not convinced me at all; i cannot imagine living the rest of my life with this and personally is a solution to considerates.. i still didnt make it by economical reasons, but talking with doctor Kongrad i feel myself a little more confident, even when he tolds me that doesnt exist serious researchs about the issue, ergo no much scientific evidences that support it, i mean the radical prostatoctemy in chronic prostatitis.

This is another link to check about similar experiences:

Well i would like encourage every man that is suffering with that to enjoy us, to help us with his experience, maybe working together we can found -besides the support- a possible solution; at least we can create a path to follow for others, even for themselves. Waiting for answers.

Good energy for every body.

To the doctor who posted that 33 is the youngest case of prostatitis he ever saw..amazing this is what we must deal with.

This is why we are all so frusterarated. Mosr doctors only know how to take our co pays. Most prostatitis starts in 20s and 30s

dr krongrads forum has great info on prostate removal..

Krongrad did two surgerys. One is a full cure, the other guy is recovering well

dr eden in uk did 5 surgerys for prostatitis. All 5 werwe cured

Dr eden reports 99 percent have urinary controll and if your healthy sexuly and young, the odds are in the mid 90s for sex function to return

its all about surgons skill with this operation.

And dr bahn in ca his so ok results with injecting steroids into the prostate. Most get relief for a few months
