Hi,
I am prostatitis sufferer and I would like to know if my issues are related PN.
I started getting prostatitis type symptoms 13 years ago when I was 16. symptoms were pain in testicles, pain at the tip of the penis after ejaculation. (I used to sit down allot on an uncomfortable chair)
I started taking antidepressants for depression and anxiety when I was 17 and most of these issues subsided until 9 months after I quit antidepressants 4 years ago.
My symptoms have been back for nearly 3 years and 5 months, worth then they were when I as younger. It all started after feeling a sharp pinch at the tip of the penis while having sex, after 3 weeks, I was up with pain during and after ejaculation, burning sensation while urinating, urethra discomfort, lower back pain and perineum pain. my symptoms got quite better after going on a long term course of antibiotics (10 months), however, I am not sure if this was due to an infection as the role of antibiotics in prostatitis conditions is unknown and also I used to get the pains back if I did any physical exercises or if I lifted something heavy. I was slightly in less pain for 6 months after quitting the antibiotics, but I used to get flare ups if I did any physical exercise.
My pain symptoms slowly came back at the start of 2016 after again feeling a sharp pinch in the tip of my penis while having sex. after few months, I noticed that my symptoms aggravated by seating down on most chairs, thus I started working standing up and only sit on sofas and avoided lifting heavy things, forceful ejaculations and exercising. for 7-8 months this kept my symptoms at bay, I got few flare ups which mostly came after either lifting something heavy or seating on a regular chair.
My symptoms were back on in January after having sex following being seated on a normal chair for 30 minutes. and this time I have been unable to get rid fo the symptoms. I have started getting some pelvic floor PT in past 2 month. I have been told that my pelvic muscle are tense. the PT, has helped me to get rid of the lower back pain and the prenimum pain are lowered. However, I have more urethral pain and physical exercise, as well as tension to the pelvic floor, can aggravate my pain to an unbearable level now.
In the past year, I have also felt electric shocks running through my penis and perineum in few occasions while landing my feet after jumping from a high platform, slipping on a wet ground and getting hard taps on my upper back during a massage. I also feel that my penis would get numb if I sit down on an uncomfortable seat for a long time.
