There has been a criticism of Mr. Goldberg regarding his lack of proof
regarding
the link between prostatitis and vascetomys. One statement mentioned
the medical
article which didn't mention prostatitis once.
I have read the article , I have had a vascetomy, and have subsequently
been diagnosed
with chronic prostatitis. The symptoms in the article were very almost
parallel with the
symptoms I had prior to one of many prostatitis flareups over the past 2
years.

The vascetomy "business" is one of the most highly profitable routine
surgerys
performed by urilogists. Any one expecting them or those in related
fields to "research"
themselves out of a billion dollar business by establishing a link
between vascetomys
and prostatitis must still believe the the toothfairy.
As you are aware by now I happen to think the vascetomy I had definately
was a factor
in the prostatitis symptoms. Any time you go cutting around
unpredictable results can
occur.
Until the men demand extensive research into this aspect of prostatitis
none will occur,
so we will just have to rely on anicdotal information.

If you don't like what Mr Goldberg is espousing you can choose to ignore
it.
You argue Mr. Goldberg has no proof to back up his claims ,but there is
no proof to
refute it either.
i would rather search for answers in opinions or human trial and errer
related on
these postings than content my self with ignorance.

What I want to know is how "post-vasectomy syndrome" is treated.
Someone's posting implied that this syndrome includes prostatitis, or
prostatitis-like symptoms, and then proceeded to say that a patient would
be wasting his time with regular prostatitis treatment. Well - what is
the appropriate treatment of "post-vasectomy syndrome"? Is it possible
that ordinary prostatitis patients could benefit from that treatment?

I had an epididiyectomy (sp?) and THEN I got prostatitis.

Not inferring that caused it , but it sure didn't stop me from getting
it...

NO IT WILL NOT . . . DO NOT DO IT!!!

I was mutilated, lied to by my doctor to get me to have the surgery, and still
have prostatitis. I went to the medical college of Wisc. Was told my
prostatitis all was due to "massive scar tissue and infection in the
epididymis." I was told the surgery was nothing more than a vasectomy -- HA!!
I was told 6-8 weeks healing time - HA!!

It is now a year later, my right testicle hurts constantly, I ended up with a
hydrocele that is 4" long and 2" across and terribly uncomfortable on the
left side. After surgery you end up black and blue and swollen like you
cannot even imagine. I also ended up with a hematoma the size of a
grapefruit. My doctor was supposed to do the surgery -- after reviewing my
medical files -- a resident did the surgery and now I pay the price. My sex
life has been destroyed, and I STILL SUFFER FROM PROSTATITIS. Surgery was a
complete and total waste of time. DON'T DO IT!!

I will NEVER trust a doctor again. And, by the way my pathology report
indicated that there was never any scar tissue or infection in the epdidiymis,
all the pain and suffering for nothing. Do not have this operation done.

There is no 100% cure for any complication from a botched procedure.
All I can tell you it took care of my problem. I didn't have any
complications post-operative.
