prostate issues (?) hello. I m 42 year old male. 210lb. 5 8 . I m otherwise in good health except that I have been having issues with my prostate since 2008. initially I went to my urologist because in an almost sudden occurrence, i was having difficulty for urinating and it was painful. my urine was dark but no odor to my knowledge. I was diagnosed with prostatitis and given Ciprofloxacin. that didn t help. I visited him again and this time I was prescribed Sulfamethoxazole. Yet, again no success. during my subsequent visits I was prescribed Uroxatral and latest Flomax. Again, I did not see a significant change in my symptoms. I went to another urologist. He put me on Tamsulosin and Elmiron. this combo helped a little but not where I could say there s no need to medical attention. I was still having to go frequently...Although the urine color had changed back to normal, I was still having sudden urges. ( not at night ). I had my semen tested. the result showed some kind of common bacteria and wad prescribed a non-resistant antibiotic. I must that help alleviate my 4problem considerably, but the problem was still there. for example, morning urination was / is still difficult. it starts off with extremely weak flow and accompanied with slight pain in my testis. since 2008 I have told it s prostatitis...Bph .....and cystitis. as I said I still fell the burning and experience weak flow. Better than before but the problem persists. Would you like to take crack at the bat doc? ( no pun intended)
