I know I rarely post here, but can I vent a little about my (lack of) sex life? this is the place I'm most comfortable to do so.
So I've been diagnosed with a cyst in my prostate last July and my life has been hell ever since. Putting aside the weeks when I was panicking about having prostate cancer (I don't, thankfully), i have been living with pain everyday, difficulty to pee and i absolutely can't engage in any sexual activity or I get an awful flare up in my symptoms that always result in hours and hours of terrible pain and a visit to the ER.
Apparently my condition is super rare, so the doctors aren't sure how to approach my problem, I spent the last few months hopping from one doctor to another and tried everything you can imagine, every kind of painkiller (even opioids aren't effective), physical therapy, antibiotics, and now my depression which had been controlled for 2 years is back and I'm back on meds that make me feel like shit. And the pain isn't completely gone either, and I still can't have sex, masturbate, or even think about sex, if I even get a hard on i can start to feel the pain. If I ejaculate, I'm doomed.
I finally found a doctor who was willing to send me to surgery, I'm gonna take that motherfucker out of my body and hopefully everything will return to normal and I will be able to have sex again. It's been two months with zero activity and I'm going crazy. The doctor says there's a very good chance that the symptoms will disappear after the surgery, so Im very hopeful. I wanna be able to feel like a sexual person again, no one should be deprived of their sexuality, it makes you feel like shit. Please root for me!
