RE: Interesting Consequence of DRE?

[Guest guest]

Yep I had one bladder infection after the other 5 to 7 every yr. bad one going

into my kidneys took much Antibotics. This only thing that helped me was taking

Cranberry Tablets.

http://www.myvitanet.com/cranplustab9.html

Every time I went to the Uro and they scoped me I got a bad infection they did

surgery I call it a ream job never ever let them do this to you. This worked

for less then a yr. and the problems came back. I had bad ED, could not reach

an orgasm, slow voiding and a low pain in my prostate. Four yrs ago I joined

here and the firs thing I read was this.

http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcls-txt/t-prtcl-130.html

Had my Estradiol checked and was high took Arimidex to get it down and all the

problems are now gone. A short time later my family Dr. checked my prostate and

told me it went down to a normal size. I still take the Cranberry peranoid I

guess.

Three days later, I began to notice symptoms of prostatitis, which

have gradually gotten worse.

Went back to PCP two days ago, she checked prostate again (nothing

remarkable) and they started on the usual UTI workup. No results yet.

She said she was suspicious that the previous week's exam had

" stirred up bacteria in the prostate, " triggering the apparent

prostatitis.

She tried to get EPS on a glass slide but was unable to obtain any.

Subsequently, something has occurred to me that may be relevant. Up

to the middle of last summer I had been taking Cialis 3 times a week,

good morning wood, ED under control. Then, over a period of just a

couple of weeks, morning wood went away, ED returned, and ejaculate

volume became drastically reduced. This led me to go to uro and

obtain prescription for Trimix, which has worked well.

Somewhere in my readings about the prostate I have seen that it

accounts for as much as 30% of ejaculate volume. I am wondering if my

prostate essentially stopped producing the fluid last summer, and

maybe the sacs sort of closed up and became breeding pockets for bacteria.

Now for the interesting part. I saw in another medical article saying

that high E2 Estradiol can cause reduced ejaculate volume. Am

wondering if a primary site of such action would be the prostate. I

am currently awaiting results of ultrasensitive E2 test, from Quest.

Has anyone else suspected a connection between TRT and prostate health?

I feel like answering either a GP or an NP.

A PCP is a primary care provider.

A GP is an MD or OD that is a general practitioner

medicine or family practice. An NP is the

hamburger helper of medicine.... a nurse practitioner.

Honestly, I find myself confounded at times too when people

use abbreviations. The abbreviations can be like a secret

club/closed society language if people aren't careful.
