Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

Good Morning Dr,

I was diagnosed of torsion of the testis at UPHTH, Port Harcourt and surgery was done on me for it; but I'm still feeling the pain and the doctor said it will take a whole year for the sutures used in fixing me to all dissolve.

But 2 weeks ago, the new chief consultant said it was chronic prostatitis with epididymitis.

Please I need your help and advice.

Thanks

Dear Persisting Pain,

Your pelvic pain following surgery persists not because of the sutures or because you now have a new condition but because you have what we refer to as Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome Syndrome generally means doctors don't fully understand what is going on.

How does one tackle CPPS?

First realise the condition sometimes does not go away, no matter what you do, so get your mind set and made up to tackle it with the wisdom of knowledge. This means you keep having persistent pain in the area--pelvis--no matter what you do. It generally follows chronic prostatitis in sufferers; that is, its the end-point of chronic prostatitis in some sufferers.

What I would recommend for you will be to try all physical modalities you can; put the wisdom  of understanding in place and be ready to add spiritual modalities, such as prayer and deliverance. If you are interested in the latter or want us to handle the matter as a whole call the help-lines.
Shalom

Cheers
