Chronic Non bacterial prostatitis for 7 years
I was diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis in 2006. When the pain started doctors advised me to do semen cultures that rarely came positive and I had to go for almost 5-6 antibiotics courses starting from doxycycline and cipro.Then I had to take IVs of cefuroxime for 14 days. After a few months I was given ceftriaxone injections for 2 weeks.
All my Ultrasounds including KUB, Whole abdomen, CT scan abdomen and rectal ultrasound report showed normal prostate ( so y I still have this trouble). I have visited around 7 urologists up till now because I never got the answer why I was having this problem and what it actually was.
Finally I went for cystoscopy and everything was fine according to one of the highly reputed urologist. I asked him than what is my problem and he said just non bacterial chronic prostatitis. I received the same answer from all other urologists I have visited.
Than I tried homeopathy for a year in 2008 and took meds for a year but I dont know what I medicines I took because doctors here in Middle East refuse to disclose the name of meds they give in small pouches. Than 2009 was almost fine without medication. Pain returned in 2010 and I tried more homeopathy meds. When I took those meds I was fine but the day I quit I got pain back just in a few days. I tried to enquire what I was eating but the doctor refused to answer so I had to find another homeopathic doctor because I felt that Homeopathy has a cure to my problem if handled properly.
New Homeopath proscribes Thuja 1M 2 doses only followed by Ferrum Pic 200 and Sabal 30 (I cant tolerate mother tinctures) and got well. Pain reappeared in 2011 and I took the same meds without asking doctor and I got better.
Now this time I have got it back again but thuja, Ferrum pic and sabal dont seem to help me this time around.
My thuja pills bottled label reads that it expired 2 months ago but my homeopathy doctor said that it doesnt matter and I could use it.

Dear Kadwa,
I read a few posts on this topic and feel that H.Pylori has some relation with prostatitis.
i have been having gas, bloating, acidity for a few years now and was recently diagnosed with H.pylori. I had the full 10 day course for it and got relief from that, but the bloating and lower abdomen gas problem continues. Dr. say it is IBS.
At the same time i was diagnosed with kidney stones last year. Recently, i was diagnosed with chronic prostatitis. Here, i wish to point out that my condition is not that severe (i hope), as i do not have severe pain anywhere. Its a mild pain in my left testicle going down my left leg, lower abdomen a little bloated since childhood. The issue of early discharge of pre-seminal fluid has been there ever since puberty. It does not effect my sexual performance. But what i notice now is-
1. The bloating or gas does hamper my sexual performance. It makes holding difficult.
2. The pre-seminal fluid is more in quantity as the control on prostate is difficult.
3. The pain in the testis and leg has reduced due to increase in frequency of sex and good/ regular exercise.
4. Too much sweating from exercise gives me pain in the kidneys, but dies down if i have a full bottle of water soon after.
5. Just when i was diagnosed with the kidney stones last year, i also had an attack of sudden lower back cramp. The cheat doctor gave me a month of medicines for spinal prolapsis, without any X-ray. Later on i took an X-ray and found that their was no prolapsis at all. Since then th pain in lower back remains. Not a heavy pain, just a stiffness.
6. Constipation is another problem which is their with me.
Hence, my inference is that- Constipation, kidney problem, urinary infections add to prostatitis. Which also add to the back pain and testis pains.
This is exactly what i gather from my experience and also the several posts here. All have the same problems.
Please advice.
Regards

Dear Kadwa,
I have been having Nux Vom 30 for the past 1 month, (4pills- 4 times a day) and have felt relief from the gas. But the problem comes back whenever i stop.
Also, what is the remedy for kidney pain, chronic prostis, early discharge of pre-seminal fluid, and stiffness in the lower back (pelvic) area.
Will Lycopodium help? Please advice.
Thanks very much for your help
