dr. toth also emphasized that ep does NOT exist without prostatis!
if you have ep, go get your prostate fluid checked and get a ultrasound, the balls are the end of the cycle that begins with the urethra, goes to the prostate and ends in the scrotum, if your balls are painful, your prostate is infected because it went thru there to get there

he suspects i have been handed this down from my parents because my dad had chlamydia when he was like 20 and after my mom gave birth to me , she was never able to delivery a successful pregnancy again and last year she had a abcessed ovary growth and had to have major surgery to have the whole thing removed, he thinks some form of left over bacteria after my dad was cured was left over and went to me and my mom both got it in our systems too, either that or i got it from my ex from 2000 (we often had unprotected sex after we were tested for STDS but she often had UTI's and yeast infections sometimes, and this was when i had my initial EP experiences), he says my prostate is messed up enough to show that it was not a recent infection of the past few months which is what i feared,
but whether i got it passed down or obtained it, the bottom line is i have it in me and he seems confident he can cure it and i have no reason not to believe him

Fuck urologists! all the stuff he told me today about what i have, none of it was remotely ever mentioned by one of my old doctors, i am considering bringing a suit against them (what if you go sterile because they didnt test for everything, isnt that neglect of a patient or something?)or at least complaining to the ADA or something, the whole ep/urologist thing is a miserable tragedy and i hate not only having gone thru it but knowing everyone else has too...
