A list of puns related to "Chronic Pelvic Pain"
Iโm part of my best friendโs wedding in July- With covid, she and her fiancรฉ have changed so many plans and altered the wedding 1000x. With all of this covid fiasco craziness that comes with planning a wedding, she always incorporates me and my disability into the plans.
Side note: Just yesterday, my medical leave of absence was extended by my OBGYN until I see the top Endovascular/Pelvic Pain specialists in my province. Currently the waitlist is 5-18 months (vague, right?). I am currently diagnosed with moderate to severe chronic pelvic congestion syndrome, the beginning stages of Endo, and waiting for more surgeries and tests to rule out other conditions.
Anywho, back to the wedding- as I wonโt be able to walk far (my veins really just donโt like me), and reclining or laying down is my best friend, sheโs ensuring I have mobility aid, places to rest, etc. She even said โif we have to carry you down the aisle and youโre lounging at the alter, we will do just that.โ
This is my best friendโs special day- not my day. However, she is making sure my day is as wonderful as herโs.
I did get the memo growing up that masturbating is healthy, but I apparently did NOT get the memo that masturbating 3-5 times a day due to covid boredom can cause severe pelvic dysfunction and even UTIs. Let me explain:
I'm only 25, but have had mysterious dick and ball pain for almost 2 months even after taking antibiotics to knock out my highly unusual male UTI. The most noticeable lingering symptom was a horrible burning in my urethra after masturbating which would go away on its own after an hour. Only after ruling out every possible case after that, my doctor threw up his hands and asked me how many times a day I orgasm. His mouth was agape when I said 3-5 times due to covid.
Apparently, the muscles involved in orgasm don't strengthen from orgasm... only fatigue. So, from orgasming that many times a day, the muscles spasm, inflame, and swell, causing urethritis (inflamed urethra), orchitis (inflamed testicles), lower back pain, and painful urination because the orgasm muscles wrap around your BLADDER and when SWOLLEN can prevent you from fully emptying your urinary tract.
Here I am, for two months scared I had some horrible prostate problem that would plague me my whole life, or some sort of chronic bladder condition, but no. I simply jack it way too much because I'm bored at home all day. Two months of suffering for that. All I had to do was stop masturbating and start stretching my pelvic muscles, and a week later I feel entirely normal again.
Because not much is known about CPPS, this is the only thing I could find online to back me up so I don't seem like I'm spewing shit. https://www.insyncmedical.sg/pelvic-pain-excessive-masturbation/ also Mens Health published an article in the last month how the pandemic is causing a huge increase in men going to the doctors for Chronic Pelvic Pain. Sitting too much + stress + excessive masturbation is causing serious pelvic health issues in men.
Learn from my mistakes!
TL;DR Excessive masturbation can cause CPPS.
I live in the rural northern US and have to drive four hours one way to see a chronic pelvic pain specialist. None of the gynecologists in my area know how to properly treat endo symptoms other than with ablation and birth control. I chose this doctor over an excision specialist because the closest surgeon to me is nine hours away and I don't have enough sick leave saved up at my job to have excision surgery (because I'm always out sick due to my chronic pain...)
I had my first appointment with her in January and she switched my birth control and sent me to pelvic floor therapy, both of which have actually helped with my pain a lot. It's still around though. When I scheduled my follow-up appointment she said it could be a telehealth appointment since I live so far away.
I got the appointment reminder call this week and it sounded like it was going to be an in-person appointment so I called the clinic to explain its supposed to be a telehealth appointment due to the time it takes for me to get to the clinic. The response I got from the receptionist was "Oh, telehealth appointments aren't available to chronic pelvic pain patients right now."
Like, what? Does no one at this clinic/hospital realize how massively stupid that policy sounds and is in practice? Making a chronic pelvic pain patient spend hours SITTING in a car just so I can tell her I'm feeling a little better but still in chronic pain? One of my coworkers goes to the same hospital (different "clinic") for Crohn's and all his appointments are telehealth. The lengths we have to go just to MANAGE our symptoms, not even treat them, is absolutely absurd and I am livid right now.

A biokinesiology major at the university of southern California
He is developing imaging at for neuromuscular imaging to see the relation between brain and network mechanisms of altered pelvic floor muscle control.
Publishing the world's first neuroimaging study comparing men with cpps and healthy men. There is a huge difference in brain function and motor control of the pelvic floor of these groups.
Jason kutch PhD. Got cpps from excessive bike commuting.His field of study and research is how brain controls muscles and movements.
Jason kutch questions the bacterial infection rates for prostatis. He cites Curtis Nickel, M.D.The 95% muscular vs 5% bacterial rule is substantiated. Long term antibiotics therapy is ineffective and dangerous.
Chronic pelvic pain is a psychonerumuscular disorder of a strained pelvic floor from physical trauama that has lost its ability to relax. Loss of motor control is the biggest problem.
Approximately 70% of Pelvic pain patients exhibit post ejaculatory pain, sexual dysfunction, isolatio, golfball in the rectum pain. Normal activities like sports and sex became painful.
EVERYTIME you masturbate or ejaculate with cpps it's like playing hop scotch on a broken leg. Post ejaculatory pain.
They are conducting studies at his university in bc California and at the NIH in Bethesda maryland.He holds neuroimaging groups at his college.
He states chronic pain changes your brain function.

I am dealing with a lot of genital pain after being exposed to Mycoplasma Genitalium in 2019. I last tested positive for Mgen on December 14, 2020. I have since tested (with different labs) negative at least a dozen times (I was going weekly and submitting urine and swab samples) this year but the genital pain continues daily and frequently, particularly when sitting. No antibiotic use since September 2019. My genital pain seems to be the same as when I was testing positive for Mgen (September 2019 through December 2020). I regularly experience pinching/stinging type pain in my prostate/pubic bone area, urethra, scrotum, and inner thighs -- it's like my nerves in the genital area have all gone haywire! On the outside, it all looks normal but on the inside, it feels red, angry, and inflamed. Exercise seems to help somewhat. No issues with urination, although sometimes I feel a little bit of burning in the urethra, but no discharge. Rarely, I have sharp pains in my rectum. I use copious amounts of herbal products and supplements, particularly in the past 4 months. I am doing pelvic floor therapy with minimal improvement. My doctor suggested Flomax/Tamsulosin and I am wondering if this medication will help me to relax the prostate and decrease my genital pain. Does anyone here use Flomax for Chronic Pelvic Pain? If so, does it help? Any responses about Flomax or other helpful therapies would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for reading!
Hi everyone. I am hoping you can help me and one of my close friends who has suffered for many years from chronic pain. The situation is a little complicated so let me explain.
When her periods come she can get severe pain on lower back and thighs to to the point she can't work. She also can get hip pain intermittently. This suffering has gone on for years and has now gotten worse to where she can"t run or do her gym classes.
In top of this she is a single mom domestic violence survivor. Her ex husband is taking financial advantage of her around the divorce settlement but her response has been to blame herself and work harder. She is chronically exhausted stressed because of the situation and feels very disempowered.
A few years ago she got a university fellowship and is now working on her PhD in economics. She was grateful for the increase in income because as a single mom taken advantage of by her hex she had been receiving govt assistance food stamps and medicare.
However her school position teaching meant her income increased and she is no longer eligible for medical insurance. She had gone to a doctor before starting her new position and the doctor had said that her chronic pain fit the profile for ovarian cysts. I just googled this and yes ovarian cysts can vary with your period and pressure the spine causing extreme pain - her symptoms match the online info I found. The doctor recommended tests for the cysts, but because her insurance situation changed the stopped seeing her and the former clinic discharged her as a patient.
She does have new insurance as a student under her new work fellowship and PhD program at the university. However here is the problem: the university clinic has terrified her with a threat of involuntary psychiatry commitment.
Several years ago she had an epilepsy related psychotic episode and received psychiatric care. She has zero psychotic symptoms since then. But when she goes to the university clinic they told her she had to answer a mental health questionnaire with their clinician and when she asked if that could result in involuntary hospitalization they responded yes. She was told the mental health exam is mandatory if she wants to receive care at the clinic. When she tells them that she has chronic pain and her previous doctor recommended testing for ovarian cysts they ignore her and believe her chronic pain is part of her mental illness instead and tell her she needs the mental evaluation. They said the ment

I am a single 29 year old otherwise healthy male not taking any daily medications etc. 6โ1 and weigh about 180. For about three years I have been feeling sometimes stabbing sometimes jolting pain in my perineal nerve. After going to my urologist about 7 times and having ever test / scan completed, nothing is anatomically wrong. He he diagnosed me chronic regional pain syndrome and perineal pain. The issue causes me pain every single day no doubt. My urologist referred to pain management. I went and immediately got the nerve shots in my spine which the doctor said would make my whole pelvic area numb. The injections do not work in the slightest. Iโm not looking for drugs here physicians of Reddit, but what the hell should I do from here? Any advice please let me know.
A good read, make sure you arenโt doing these things if you are trying to recover. https://www.nature.com/articles/pcan201418

Yet another video this time from a urologists. He says the same basic things that have been know for two decades. Stay away from spicey foods, alcohol. He mentions that most cases are muscular in pathology and that acute bacterial prostatitis is very rare. Run tests. Check urine. Prostate fluid. Send them to a pelvic floor therapist.
95% non bacterial prostatitis
So i had a dviu and 2 years later i started having pain.its been 5 years now and i still have the pain.it gets worse with urination My flow is acceptable though.idid a balloon dilation under anesthesia and they didnt keep the video for me even though i told them to and no difference in pain
I dont want to go urethroplasty because of the complications,and i dont want to do another dviu as it can make the scarring worse.
I wish this was my only problem,i also have ocd and had a psychotic episode this past november im only 23 years old, how bad could this life be? I feel like Im cursed.i feel that my parents are ashamed of me. I thhink i shouldnt be alive
The relationship between chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been shown in many studies. However, the specific mechanism remains unclear. This study was to investigate the corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cell function and phenotype transformation in Experimental autoimmune prostatitis (EAP) rats.
EAP was induced in rats by using prostate protein supplemented with immuneadjuvant extraction, and the max-ICP and MAP were measured. IHC and Masson staining were done to assess inflammatory infiltration and collagen deposition in the corpus cavernosum, respectively. Subsequently, normal rat and EAP rat CCSMCs were purified by tissue block implantation and differential adherence method. The oxidative stress, smooth muscle phenotype transformation, cell cycle and intracellular calcium ion transport were also evaluated.
The ratio of max ICP/MAP in EAP rats significantly reduced, and the TNF-ฮฑ content and collagen deposition in the corpus cavernosum markedly increased as compared to healthy rats. High-purity rat CCSMCs were obtained. Oxidative stress was evident and the cGMP content decreased in the EAP rat CCSMCs. The expression of Cav1.2, IP3R1 and RyR2 increased, but the SERCA2 expression decreased in EAP rat CCSMCs, which was accompanied by increased intracellular calcium. Increased expression of OPN, collagen and KCa3.1, decreased Calponin expression and increased proportion of cells in the S phase were also observed in the EAP rat CCSMCs.
CP causes oxidative stress and imbalance of intracellular calcium in CCSMCs and promotes CCSMCs transformation from contractile to synthetic state, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of ED.
I've been dealing with a complex chronic illness since 2013 and had my first IV ketamine treatment for chronic pain a little over two weeks ago. The positive effects from it were absolutely amazing. Tension that I've had since 2015 began to release, I regained feeling in my hands and feet again, my mood improved and much more. However, and this is a HUGE however, it caused severe burning pain in my pelvis which hasn't fully subsided yet. The pain has been so severe that I can't possibly see myself attempting another treatment.
Are there alternatives to ketamine that work on similar parts of the brain that don't have these same crazy side effects? I'm looking into microdosing but understand these substances typically operate on other receptors.
I had a very big edging session last week and I haven't been the same since.. started with constant urination with a burning feeling to now having pain in my pelvic region and aches in my testicles.. im completely embarrassed and honestly scared I did damage to myself permanently. Is there anyone out there who can pls help me with advice on how to recover?? Has this ever happened to any other males out there?
I'm really in a dark place and need some guidance
details: 21F, undiagnosed for 4 years, despite the opinion of 2 GP surgeries and a gynaecologist. I get pelvic pain every single day, but it's a lot worse at night. Paracetamol doesn't seem to help, codeine seems to make it worse, and ibuprofen was helping but now I'm taking it every day and it doesn't seem to be helping as well (and its probably causing some stomach damage)
I have an appointment with a new doctor on Monday, but lord please help me get through the weekend. I'm in agony. Does anyone have any tips?
It fucks up my sleep so bad. I'm tired all through work. I just need help to ease the pain
For the traumatic chronic pelvic pain sufferers with hard flaccid. Jelqer, kegeler, masturbator.
The traumatic event causes the pelvic floor to go into a permanent contraction. It is ALL the muscles, not just the ischiocavernosus.
Postural or gait abnormalities, skeletal asymmetry, and prolonged sitting may trigger symptoms in some individuals. Because the lower extremity, hip, abdomen, pelvis, and spine are a connected kinetic chain, any dysfunction along this chain may cause overcompensation and dysfunction of other associated muscles.20,21ย A recent, small, blinded, prospective study of women with chronic pelvic pain showed a higher frequency of abnormal pelvic musculoskeletal findings (eg, asymmetric iliac crests) in those with pelvic pain compared with controls.21
Several recent studies have demonstrated neural โcross-talkโ between pelvic organs, which, while necessary for normal physiologic regulation of bowel, bladder, and sexual function, may explain why shared painful symptoms of the rectum, bladder, and pelvic and adnexal structures might develop.16-18ย The underlying mechanism for this phenomenon is poorly understood, but it may be mediated by the peripheral and central nervous systems.19
Recognition and Management of Nonrelaxing Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Digital palpation of the pelvic floor muscles is used to assess contraction and relaxation and to evaluate pain. External palpation of the urogenital triangle (Figure) includes the ischiocavernosus, bulbospongiosus, and transverse perineal muscles and the perineal body. Assessment of muscle tension and tenderness of the urogenital triangle is especially important in women with dyspareunia.
The deeper muscles include the pubococcygeus, puborectalis, and iliococcygeus, known together as the levator ani, and the obturator internus on the lateral pelvic wall (Figure). Pelvic floor muscles are assessed for tenderness, tone, contraction, and relaxation through vaginal and rectal digital palpation.30ย The strength of a pelvic floor contraction can be classified subjectively as absent, weak, normal, or strong after asking the woman to squeeze around the palpating finger. Relaxation is assessed after attempted voluntary
After the traumatic event it sets up a pain experience that persists long after the initial stimulus is gone. Hence chronic pelvic pain.
Consistent with clinical experience, a meta-analysis showed a significant association between sexual abuse and a lifetime diagn

Hi there,
So Iโm dealing with an unusual problem and even my doctor seems a bit stumped. Hereโs the gist of it.
For the last year, every few months Iโll get some severe pelvic pain. It seems to go away with antibiotics to treat UTIs but itโs not a UTI. Numerous UTI tests come back negative and itโs also not in the same place as a UTI nor is it associated with urinating (thereโs some discomfort upon urinating but not from the urethra). My old doctor just threw the antibiotics at it because they couldnโt find anything else. My new doctor actually wants to find a cause. I just want the pain to stop.
A few notes.
I had an intrauterine ultrasound last year when it started, to check that my IUD was still in place. It was. They noticed one ovary was slightly larger than the other, but no sign of a cyst. However, the size difference was likely from an ovarian cyst according to them. During this appointment, the speculum caused serious discomfort and pain.
in April, I had a fever with it. Maybe it wasnโt related, but it seemed to be. I couldnโt get the fever down and I was in severe pain so I went to the ER. They did a CT scan and found nothing (full body since they were also checking my lungs, I have interstitial lung disease on top of it all and they suspected Covid even though I told them it was gynecological. Big mess)
Last time I had problems, in September, I was treated for BV but then had symptoms of a UTI even after so they treated me for a UTI and I got better. I tested positive for BV even though I did not have discharge or any other symptoms besides pelvic pain.
Iโve had it in February, April, September and now December. Antibiotics got rid of it every other time, though my doctor wonders if it would have went away in its own
I will have another intrauterine ultrasound on Tuesday but Iโm not convinced theyโll find anythin
... keep reading on reddit โกI have been suffering from chronic pelvic pain for several months.
I have tested many things and I figured out that my symptoms (lower abdomen/pelvic and/or anal discomfort and burning pain and/or frequent urination), are triggered almost every time by masturbation (I am not sure about sex, I have had sex only for 4 consecutive days during this period and my symptoms weren't triggered).
The only thing left for me is to abstain from masturbation, which make my symptoms disappear after some days, usually less than a week if coupled with stretching (but I am not sure about the role of stretching, can someone write his experience regarding that?).
At the moment I am taking 2 supplements, which contain mainly palmitoylethanloamide, serenoa repens and quercetine.
I'd like some suggestions and I would like to know how you defeated, once and for all, chronic pelvic pain. Thanks
First of all, very thankful for this community and anyone who takes the time to read and respond to this post. You've all made me more hopeful.
I'm 23 and first started having symptoms in November of 2020. I first noticed that my stream was weaker than normal, then it became very difficult to start and end urination. That's when I first saw a Dr. I'm going to first list out my symptoms and then get to the brief story.
Was given two different antibiotics, one I can't remember for 14 days and then Bactrim for a month. Neither helped. That was late 2020.
I went to a urologist who did a urine culture (nothing), a prostate exam (this is what's interesting -- he said my prostate was *not inflamed*), and a cystoscopy (nothing).
That's when the Dr. said it was likely chronic prostatitis, but after reading some other users posts, I'm a bit confused by a few things. I apparently do not have an enlarged prostate, but i guess that could just mean it's more of a pelvic floor issue than directly prostatitis?
Also -- and this is very concerning to me after reading other users posts -- I had a quick but VERY, VERY sharp pain during my cystoscopy. It wans't just when the scope went in, it was when they put the numbing liquid inside as well. It was a VERY sharp burning/stinging. In fact, I was given some type of "laughing gas" but still had such pain that I jerked my body around on the table. The Dr. said that it as because the scope was entering the sphincter, which can be very tight in these cases, but it also stung when the numbing gel was placed inside?
I've begun deep stretching/massaging the area, but nothing seems to be helping. I also cut out alcohol and weed a week ago. Any insight anyone can offer would be really helpful, especially about the pain I felt with the cystoscopy.

The Use of Botulinum Toxin in the Pelvic Floor for Women with Chronic Pelvic PainโA New Answer to Old Problems?
Jason Abbott, B. Med (Hons), MRCOG, FRANZCOG, PhD* From The School of Womenโs and Childrenโs Health, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
ABSTRACT
Chronic pelvic pain occurs in about 15% of women and has a variety of causes requiring accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment if pain reduction is to be effected. Superficial conditions such as provoked vestibulodynia and deeper pelvic issues such as pelvic floor myalgia were traditionally difficult to diagnose and adequately treat. For provoked vestibulodynia, there are limited data, in the form of case reports and small series, to indicate that botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections may provide shortterm (3โ6 months) benefit. Retreatment is reported to be successful and side effects are few. Class-I studies are essential to adequately assess this form of treatment. For pelvic floor myalgia, 1 class-I study and 3 class-II to -III studies indicate efficacy of BoNT. In the only double-blind, randomized, controlled study, significant reduction in pelvic floor pressures with significant pain reduction for some types of pelvic pain are reported compared with baseline. No differences in pain occurred compared with the control group who had physical therapy as an intervention. Physical therapy should be used as a noninvasive first-line treatment, with BoNT injections reserved for those who are refractory to treatment. Pelvic floor disorders should be considered as a cause for chronic pelvic pain in women and an attempt made to diagnose and treat such problems as a routine practice. The use of BoNT as a therapeutic option for pelvic floor muscle spasm and pain is still in its infancy. Initial reports suggest that there may be a significant role for women with chronic pain that is refractory to currently available medical and surgical treatments, however, there are very few high-quality studies and research is essential before this novel treatment can be accepted into widespread use for pelvic pain attributable to the pelvic floor.

I had an informative and revealing chat with personal health coach Brendan Turner. He spoke candidly about finding blood in his semen, how CBD oil helps with anxiety and the pelvic muscle that's to blame for his symptoms.
Lots of respect and support for any guy willing to speak openly about his CPPS symptoms. ๐
