I'm 30 year old male with urination problems and pain in my lower abdomen. I've had urination problems for a few years now and the pain began last summer. I went to see a urologist about 2 years ago because I needed to urinate frequently, had some leakage after urination and I had difficulty urinating (it would take a little time to get going) also I had clumpy semen. So I thought I had an enlarged prostate but the doctor checked and said it was normal size. Then he said my other symptoms were normal and no one knows why semen can become clumpy. He said he couldn't do anything for me and sent me home.
I've also had extreme fatigue for about 3 1/2 years. The fatigue comes usually after I have a bowl movement and lasts for 2 hours or longer. Many times I get so tired that I have to take a nap. I've been to a couple different doctors to try and figure out whats wrong with me. From a blood test and upper endoscopy I was diagosed with celiac disease (gluten intolerance). I never had any celiac symptoms just the fatigue. I was on a strict gluten free diet for a little over a year and my fatigue didn't go away.
The last 6 months I've eaten wheat because I don't have celiac symptoms and my fatigue didn't go away and I'm too lazy and a little depressed to keep that kinda diet. I spent over $4,000 on medical bills trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Now I don't have insurance anymore becuase it's really expensive and with the deductible it was all coming out of pocket any way.
Ok back to the bladder. I drank a 6 pack of beer for the last 3 nights cause I was stressed out and now my bladder is really bothering me. Last night I woke up to take a leak and after a little came out it stopped and I still had like 3/4 full bladder so I had to tense my stomoch muscles repeatedly to squeeze the urine out. It was scary. It has happened a couple times in the past when I woke up after a night of drinking but thats not normal. I would describe the pain in my bladder as a burning sensation. Today it's really bad. Normally I have to unbutton my jeans when I sit down but today it hurts so bad I want to go to walmart and buy some bib overalls, I also stopped wearing underwear about 6 weeks ago becuase it puts pressure on my bladder. I've been thinking that I had bladder cancer or something untill I heard about this Interstitial cystitis after doing research today. It's sounds like whats going on with me but who knows it may be cancer too. I'm done with doctors though until I pee blood.
I drink alot of pop and alchohol occasionaly, I've noticed both of these beverages have made the burning more intense in the past so I'm gonna quit drinking that stuff and start looking through this site for other good suggestions. I'm not sure if the extreme fatigue, clumpy semen and bladder problems are related but I'm glad I'm not alone with the bladder issues and thankful there's a great site like this for people to go to.
