I want to give you all hope
Hi! I developed chronic prostatitis/CPPS due to extreme anxiety and possible ligament damage due to fluoroquinolone antibiotic use in june 2025. I was floxxed, which means I suffered severe disabling symptoms from fluoroquinolones. The anxiety and terrible panic from it made my pelvic floor extremely tight.
The CPPS was in many ways even worse than the antibiotic induced disability. I couldn’t sleep a second, I felt like a had an extremely severe UTI that would kill me. Peeing hurt so much I cried. I am gay and thought I would never be able to have anal sex again or any sex for that matter. I couldn’t get an erection for months because of the pain.
I learned to control my pelvic floor and conciously relax it. Nothing else helped. I meditated and used a warm compress. Now I sometimes can feel a sting in the area but then I know how to relax the muscles and it goes away. I stille have some issues from the fluoroquinolones but my CPPS is like 99% gone. I can have sex normally, pee normally, sleep, do everything normally regarding it. I hope you all will heal❤️
