What Causes Nausea And Early Satiety When Diagnosed With Prostatitis?
Question: Within the past 4 weeks I have had 2 bouts of what the doctor thought was uti .. went through 2 seven days cycles of Cipro ... with about a week in and half in between ... on the last day of the 2nd cipro cycle I started feeling nauseous .. its been like that for just under 2 weeks.
Went to urologist .. diagnosed me with prostatitis ... went back to my regular doctor last Tuesday with concern of the nausea and feeling full after small amounts of food. He did exam and found that I may be constipated ... I use to go 3 times a day .. during the 2 cycles of cipro .. I would barely go once and it was forced.
He gave me ducolax 2 times daily ... since last tuesday .. I have had a few movements .. since but not as much I anticipate.
My fear is stomach cancer .. I can not get it out of my head.
Current conditions are pain in upper stomach .. pulsating lower left and right stomach ... still feeling full when I eat small amounts.
Thank you
