About ten days ago, I started having painful urination. Had strong urge to go, but it just trickled out slowly then stopped abruptly, but still felt like I had to go badly. Saw an unfamiliar GP as I'm traveling, urine test showed no infection, gave me antibiotics anyway.
After a week, things started to improve.
Anyone else go through this?
If no sign of infection, why antibiotics??
NIH did a study that showed men who ejaculated a couple of times a week while taking antibiotics improved more than men who did not ejaculate. So the report recommends ejaculating, with or without a partner, as part of the treatment plan.
When this started, it killed my erections, not that the pain had me keen to try to ejaculate anyway. But now sleep and morning erections are back. But I do still have pain in the area...junk, taint, rectum, so that gives me pause.
If you have been through this, did you find ejaculating helped your recovery or did it hurt or make things worse?
I've been in contact with my regular doc about this (secure patient portal), but was hoping to get some fellow patient perspectives while I await her reply regarding ejaculation. She is pretty easy going; told me sex is important and I should have more, before this issue came up.
