Prostate Infection

Hey, there was period in my life where I played a lot of with the prostate. And it eventualy got irritated or awaken it is hard to tell. I had exactly same symptoms like you. Went to the doc did all the exams everything looked fine, doc said it is an infection and prescribed antibiotics.

I didn't take them because they are very heavy on the body and eventualy symptoms disapeared. From this expireince I learned that you need to be gentle with your prostate otherwise you can strain it. You mentioned that you had a long session this is exactly what causing your symptoms. I think doctor prescribed you anti-biotics because they didn't know that you were invloved in anal play sessions. I would consider go to the doctor and mention anal paly so they can correct your treatment.

Start small and be gentle, it also happeneds to me from time to time when I put to much pressure on the prostate. Helix Syn Trident works best for me.

I have had similars symptoms without prostate infection but my prostate was enlarged in examination. The symptoms subsided by themselves. This happens when I ride not too often but with longer periods of abstinence. What helped me I suppose are short regular sessions (I use mainly Aneros Helix Syn) and later I introduced prostate milking which enabled more control over enlarging prostate issue. I have also switched lube to silicone-based for compatible toys. Water-based lube dry out too quickly which might cause irritation.

Thanks so much for the reply. I guess my mistake was thinking that if some stimulation was good (and relaxed my prostate) that more would be better.

It actually went beyond just the prostate being irritated. The irritation of my prostate weakened it and gave the bacteria an opportunity to attack it and colonize and cause a bacterial infection. I needed the antibiotic to then kill off the bacteria. If my prostate was just irritated from the rubbing the problem wouldn't have been so great. I didn't expect any irritation to cause the chain reaction.

I ride a lot (4 -5 times a week for 1 to 2 hours each ride). The saddle I use (with a cut out in the middle) helps plus (I believe) the rubbing isn't direct as it is with the Aneros so I never have problems riding. I have also inserted a firm spherical rubber ball on a rod into my anus on occasions and put pressure (while rubbing) my prostate to milk the fluid out of it in an attempt to aid in prostate health but the rubbing was always a lot less so it never caused a problem. I agree that I need to work up to using the Aneros over a longer period of time.

Another question I have is in regard to the vibrating models vs the non-vibrating models. Can a person get the same (or maybe even better results) from the non-vibrating models. Are the vibrating models just a crutch to get inexperienced users to orgasm faster? Would I be better off starting with (and getting used to) a non-vibrating model? Aneros seems to have a larger selection of non-vibrating models.
