The Good Side Of The Internet

Obviously there is alot of junk on the Internet, but thankfully it does provide an avenue to connect people.
I received an e-mail from an individual the other day who was exploring his options for treating his prostate cancer. He mentioned a particular health center that I knew a little bit about, but not enough to really answer his questions. However, I have a friend who is very familiar with that center and I was able to supply contact information so the two of them can correspond in order for him to get the information that he needs to make an informed decision on his care.

Basically, this Internet connections offers an avenue for people to do life together, which is what we all need to navigate the obstacles that this life trows in front of us.

So, yeah, there's plenty of junk on the Internet, but there is far more opportunity to do life together.

I hope you have a good weekend.

Prostatitis Treatment

Acute bacterial prostatitis usually goes away with up to a month of antibiotics. Chronic bacterial prostatitis may require antibiotic treatment for one to three months. If you're treated with antibiotics, be sure to take them as directed. Don't stop when symptoms start to go away. Finish the prescription, or the infection could return.

Pain relievers, anti inflammatory and alpha blocker medications, relaxation exercises and hot baths may bring relief to men with prostatitis. Your doctor also may recommend avoiding spicy foods, caffeinated or acidic drinks and bicycle riding if these seem to make the problem worse.

Noncancerous prostate conditions, such as prostatitis, also can raise PSA levels.

Have a good Tuesday.

Prostatitis

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland and is a common diagnosis for men with urinary and genital symptoms such as pain or burning during urination, frequent, urgent need to urinate, difficulty emptying the bladder or painful ejaculation, pain in the lower back, pelvic or genital areas.

There are three types of prostatitis.
Acute bacterial is the least common type. Symptoms start suddenly and often include fever and chills.
Chronic bacterial tends to have less severe symptoms that start slowly and often recur.
Chronic non bacterial/chronic pelvic pain syndrome is the most common and least understood type. It comes and goes without warning.

I'll write more tomorrow about this topic.

Have a good Monday.
