Same as everyone else

I've been dealing with this Since June of 2008...It's just appeared one day and I don't know the cause...My symptoms are redness, irritation on the tip of my penis mainly around the opening.  Depending on what I eat or drink I have a feeling of discomfort, pressure in my bladder area and a discomfort on the head of my penis.  I also experienced times when my urine flow was not as strong as normal...

I went to see my primary care doc and he said he thought I had Prostatitis, so he put me on 4 weeks worth of Cipro...Unfortunately it didn't work real well so he had me go to a Urologist.  The Urologist thought I probably DID have Prostatitis but probably am just experiencing the after affects, so he put me on Flomax, which is considered an Anti Inflammatory.  I thought Flomax was the solution because after about 3 days, most of my symptoms went away, but then about 2 weeks later everything came back.  I was on Flomax for about a month, then I went back to the Urologist and he just said I was OK and it probably would take a while to recover and to come back in a year.

  I started taking Prosta-Q (http://www.dshoskes.com/prostaq.html) after researching Chronic Non-Bacterial Prostatitis on the Internet.  This really seems to help the symptoms, not a cure-all, but it does help...I also use Aquaphor from Eucerin on my penis to help with Redness and irritation...That also helps ALOT...

I'm afraid I'm just masking the symptoms and haven't found a solution.  i will probably be going back to another Urologist to get a second opinion.

Recently I went back to drinking coffee again and it really does cause irritation, so I'll probably stop doing that.  I drink ALOT of water and I really watch my diet and I also work out everyday...

I'm just glad I found a place where others are experiencing the same problems...Jeff
