Painfully bladder

[Jonno7777]

Hi, I'm a 45 male. For the past six years I have been suffering from following symptoms :- urge to urinate frequently, especially at night and slow flow of urine. If I leave it too long before I go to the toilet, I am left with a grumbling pain in my lower abdomen - top of bladder and sometimes a feeling of pressure in my back passage. I can't remember the last time I had decent sleep! I know it all points to my prostate but I have had my urine tested-fine, PSA test-fine, prostate examined-fine, cystoscopy-fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you have a penile discharge, then Non Gonococcal Urethritis comes to mind, but if you haven't, then i am "stumped" and i will give it further thought.

You have been thoroughly investigated.

I have had further thoughts........it could be Chronic Prostatitis or as it is sometimes called Chronic Pelvic Pain syndrome.......Google it and get back to me.

Sqad, thank you very much for your answer. I googled Chronic Pelvic Pain syndrome as you suggested and everything seems to fit. I don't know why the doctors haven't suggested this before but I know I will be suggesting it next time I see them. Not sure there is much they can do, I don't particularly want prostate removed at my age, but it would be nice to know for sure what the problem is.

No problem......yes it is difficult to treat and I am not sure that removal of the prostate is the answer.
Thanks for the feedback and keep us informed.
