Good day,
I am 25 years old with 5 years in and I am seeking advice from members of the CF Medical Group regarding a prostate related illness I have been dealing with for three months called prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland). On the 29 of Mar 12, I was diagnosed with acute prostatitis at a local hospital. Antibiotics were given to me at that time (Septra) and symptoms went away in a week.
However, after almost a month, the symptoms came back and I was put on a stronger antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin) for a month and again the symptoms disappeared but came back as soon as the treatment was over. A transrectal ultrasound recently revealed that my urethra was not going into my prostate the way it should and that it was the cause of my symptoms (no idea how that caused my symptoms). I was then told I was gonna need surgery soon.
Sorry for the long story, here are my questions:
1- anyone had that kind of surgery before or know what it involves and the convalescence period after the operation (doctors on the base have no idea because they never saw this before);
2- if the surgery doesn't work and that I still have that disease, will I be put on a TCat;
3- as anyone ever been medically released 3b for prostatitis.
Prostatitis is a really messed up disease that can really ruins your quality of life and your relationship with your spouse. Symptoms for me include pelvic and perineal pain that comes and goes and difficulty urinating to say a few. Anyone has any experience dealing with that disease or know somebody that does and what happened to them. I have recently been put on admnistrative duty (no TCat or restriction ... yet) until the surgery and I'm afraid I will stay there if it doesn't work.
I am physically fit and able to do whatever I'm told to do but the pain that come and goes at the worst place of your body and the fact that this disease is affecting badly my relationship with my better half is really destroying my moral.
Thank you for your help,
