Re: PROSTATITIS

[Guest guest]

First off, prostatitis and epididymitis are not the same thing.

I've worked as a nurse and lab tech for an urologist the majority of

my adult life, and I have never seen epididymitis treated with

antibiotics, however, prostatitis is usually treated with

antibiotics and prostatic massage, in severe cases. Epididymitis is

normally successfully treated with an anti-inflammatory drug,

totally differen from an antibiotic. It is simply an inflammation

of the epididymus, commonly brought on by excessive strain in the

groin area, and aggravated by more of the same. My doc often

advises patients to use an athletic supporter, depending on the

severity, and ALWAYS prescribes anti-inflammatory drugs such as

Naprosyn. Interestingly enough, this is more common in men who have

had vasectomies than men who haven't. The LDN theory is

interesting, but I had never heard of it. It would certainly be

interesting to hear more about it. Take care!

When my father complained about prostatitis, I did some

research. I bought him " Trinovin " - it doesn't require a

prescription - I buy it on line. He takes it religiously -

and raves about it. Only a suggestion.

I would suggest saw palmetto for one... also a cleanse and a raw diet... Here is a good website also http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?ID=1810 Suzipetacelleste <petacelleste@...> wrote: Could anyone suggest how I can treat Ptastatitis, my partner has recently been diagnosed with it.Peta
