Back on antibiotics - Suspect Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2013 12:20 pm
When my testes became sensitive again it confirmed for me that my prostate infection is back. My doctor has put me on cipro until I can get in to see a specialist.
I already suspected the infection was returning based on my sore back and urinary frequency, however my doctor wasn't sure. When my testes became sensitive this time it followed the same pattern it did last time. The sore back was put off both times to a previous injury and back problems.
Meanwhile my bladder control has become worse. Until a couple of weeks ago I didn't wear 24/7. I wore at night and in the mornings. I only wore occasionally during the day if I was going to be away from the house for extended periods or if I was just having a bad day. But over the last couple of weeks my frequency has really picked up and I am getting less warning and stronger urges. Most of the time diapers seemed to be more of a 'just in case' and a convenience so I didn't have to rush to a toilet. I would try to practice holding it and would only release when the urge became strong. The last few days especially I've had regular 'accidents' where I thought I was holding it but the flow started anyway. I've even had constant dribbles.
I'll see the specialist next Tuesday and it is none too soon. My bladder is feeling uncomfortable, if it gets any worse I might have my wife bring me to the ER. Despite regular voiding it's only coming out in small amounts and I still feel heavy. I thought I could manage this but now it's starting to worry me.
