BPH

[JCatGuy]

This is turning into a real nightmare. I mean it's hard enough to urinatea...I was first diagnosed w/BPH, then Prostatitis...now they don't really know...except they had me on a foley catheter 2 years ago for 6 months, and I'm so frightened of going back on it...not just because of the discomfort and the infections; but I have developed the most "sensitive" groin/penis, testicles, prostate than ever in my life.
What I'm trying to say is my Libido is Sky High...and I cannot shut it off. About 2 months ago, I had to orgasm 2-4X a day, just to keep myself from flipping out...as it would give instant relief. NOW, I can't relieve myself anymore. In 6 weeks, I've only been able to masterbate to a successful orgasm 1 time. It's like I'm living in a nightmare. Especially when I awaken in morning...and whenever i lay down, and even sitting on prostate...or my shirt brushes against me (down there), and I feel as though I'm going to explode. Yet, when I go at it...and i read another man's post...(but when I registered, I lost it)...he described it has hell too. Now, I used to do what he did...no matter how long it took...1, 2-3 hours...until I came...I would not stopped. But nothing I do, is "getting me over the hump"...even though the pre-fluid droplets are there...but, just can't get it out!
The prostatitis MD wants me to take a test called, "UroDynamics", which I had back in 2006...where they stick long wire deep within penile opening, and ask you to urinate.
1. I cannot barely urinate even in my own apartment...can never do it, outside of apartment.
2. In 2006 it didn't show anything...but things are so much worse now...and with the super-sensitivity, how can I let some "laboratory personal" take that tube (knowing what to expect) and shove it up in me?

I'm terrified. My insurance won't let me go to another Urologist and start new and I think this guy (and i wouldnn't blame him) if he's fed up w/me postponing appointments...but this is affectnig my entire life, sleep pattern, eating...and I also think, it "trying too hard to reach successful orgasm" that I had damaged myself along the way...

Now i feel as huge lump in prostate...sitting down also makes me feel as if i'm "over the edge"...but never does. And I also have an ileostomy, and it's not permanent...and my Surgeon wants me to do enemas several times a week to clear out rectum of discharge, and now there's a huge lump where the prostate or urethra is. I'm going nuts.

I've been RX'd, CIPRO, PROSCAR, not avodart, the other one (but I already have low blood presssure), and now I think that I have so much backed up semen, that I read it can get stuck on the walls of urethra and block the semen/urine from flowing outward. And I also read the URIC ACID does the same thing and they treat it with Zyloprim which I ordred from mexico, but i"m afraid to use it. Even read that that Guaifessin (active ingredient in Mucinex) can reduce the hardeneded mucoid stuck in the urethra, and help people in this situation (I tried for 2 days, and i think it made it worse)...

If anybody hs read this far...i appreciate it...and I'm sure everyone will say, "go to Hosptal or back to Urologist"...and on top of everything, i have developed a severe sleep disorder...where i can't fall asleep until 6-8am...and by the time i awaken...all the MD's are done for the day....i've forced myself to get up...but I can't talk coherantly, as to me it feels as though it's 4am, for normal people. And I can't eat anymore...i'm trying to drnk as much as i could, but then I spend the entire night and next day, presssing my bladder, in order to get bit by bit out...

I don't know what I"m expecting to hear if anything, from a member...but, of all the pains and sufferings...there's nothing like being on the "edge of orgasm" going on 6 weeks, and can't relieve it. It's like HELL!

Thank you for reading...Jay (outer borough of NYC)

Sorry to hear that you are going through this, but let's cut through everything and get real here. You seem like the type of guy who wants to hear it straight up and without the BS, so I'm going to tell you like it is and please excuse me for being so direct, but I think I need to be. The ONLY person that can help you with all the things you have mentioned is a good urologist. You know that. Now you have to take it upon yourself to get to him ASAP no matter what. I know....I know. You don't want to hear that, but you also know that it's the only thing that can help you with so much going on. You are only endangering yourself more if you put this off. You need to tell them what you are putting up with and how bad it is and that you need help right away. Again, you need a board certified urologist and NOBODY ELSE, period. I truly think this is the best advice I or anybody else could give you at this stage of the game. There really is no other option. Don't wait. If I had a magic pill for you, I'd give it to you, but I don't. You have to go get checked out and go from there. Good luck.

Mr. Coyote,
You're right but I have a MAJOR problem w/my Urologist. I also have other serious illnesses...add to that a severe sleep inabalance...and he's new; only saw him once.

After postponing 2 appointment and he wanted me to take a Urodynamics test (which I never did) for of the fear of pain (had in 2006), and now I'm 1000X more sensitve...when i saw him 3 months ago, my only problem w/Urinary retention.

He's not going to want to see me...and hear about these new Serious, Incapitcatingly painful developements because I never did as he first requested.

And the fear of him, telling me, "find yourself someone else" and w/my insurance...he's the best around here, other than that it's clinics/interns. I messed up so badly because I thought for sure the combo of CIPRO, PROSCAR and UROXATAL would help me. Well I was terribly wrong. It's developement into some sorta of Urethral blockage and or neurological (I don't know). I'm just terrified. And now it's 2:45 in by me, "wide-awake"...at 8am-2PM..his office hours...I am in deep sleep, and I'm so weakened from another illness (had surgery for ileostomy they messed it up)...on top of all of that...my family is all across the state, I'm alone...except for a home aid, that is one step above a drunkard.

I don't mean to dump and i appreciate your honesty, ...I almost called "911" last night...even pain killers given for yet another illness (avascualr necrosis of knee, hips, shoulder)...doesn't cover whatever this pain is...Strangely enough, the pain meds used to completely dissappeared libido...now, no matter how much I take, beyond prescribed, it doesn't touch the pain going on down their. I feel imprisoned in this body, and yes in fear as well.

Thanks for your reply, JC

OK>read your latest post and I understand your situation. Or at least I think I do. You've got a LOT of different things going on here, some of which may or may not be affecting the "prostate" problem. I am not a doctor, as you all know, but I do know this much. With this many things going on now and with you in so much discomfort (read: pain), I don't want to venture any guesses and I don't think the answer is here on the internet, as I have said. It really isn't. And, there is no reason for you to have to suffer like this. I know you don't want to (or can't) go back to the urologist you have a problem with, and you really should not if you aren't happy with him. I personally believe you have a medical emergency if what you say is happening, and I'm sure you wouldn't dream something like this up, so I think you just may want to go to the emergency room, insurance or not, and tell them you cannot deal with this pain, etc. any longer. Some of these hospitals will take an emergency w/ no insurance. You can tell the doc there what you are going through. And, don't let anybody tell you it's NOT an emergency. It is. With everything else going on, I think this may be your next step. You need help and you're not getting it, and that's not right.
Let the people who do this kind of thing figure out how you can get some relief from it all and some help. And let me know here how it turns out. Don't sit home and suffer. Now you have to act on it. Right?
