I'm new here so please excuse me if this isn't the correct spot to post. Im really in the need of some advice. Over a year ago I had discomfort from sitting. I ended up seeing a urologist who diagnosed me with chronic pelvic pain/prostatitis. He said he believed my condition was more of a tension issue than a prostate issue. He instructed me to take warm baths, donut cushion, and prescribed me 25mg elavil at night. Fast forward to about 3-4 months ago, i had a few stools that were difficult to pass. I noticed some mild irritation after. I start increasing my fiber and I started to go easily again and the pain subsided. Then very recently with the last 4-6 weeks I had another episode of constipation which flared the symptoms up again. I noticed blood on the toilet paper once. I ended up seeing a regular doctor who said he believed it was an internal hemorrhoid or fissure and advised me to take docusate sodium 100mg morning and night and only occasionally he said to take Senna lax when needed. This has helped some but I am still finding a few stools a week being hard to pass and I know I can't take senna a lot because you become dependent and I don't want that.. I decided to schedule to see my urologist who I see in 4 days because maybe it's the elavil or my pelvic pain syndrome causing it? I also scheduled to see a proctologist but that won't be until mid December. Any advice on what I can do to help help until then? Does anybody else here also have cpps/prostatitis like me? Thanks so much. I am 17 by the way.
