Summary

In July 2019 Dimos had sex with a female during a one-night stand and the condom broke. This caused Dimos to go for a sperm test at his local Doctor. This initial sperm test showed staphylococcus was present. Ceclor antibiotics were taken for ten days.

Another follow-up sperm test showed negative for microbes and symptoms subsided for a while.  A few weeks later after taking the Ceclor antibiotics an annoying sensation (not burning) happened during urination. It also felt as if more urine should flow.

Staphylococcus showed up in another separate subsequent sperm test and Dimos was advised to have Ufexil antibiotic and undertook three antibacterial injections in the urethra.

All up over a period of a year and a half Dimos had seven visits to one Doctor alone to be told ‘I can’t find anything wrong with you’.

After leaving things for a year and a half and believing he was part crazy, Dimos started to notice new symptoms of erectile dysfunction and a noticeable burning sensation during and after urination.

Dimos also felt like he could not properly clear his bladder and it felt as if his urination was obstructed.

He started to feel tired regularly even though he was getting enough sleep. All this started to have an impact on his psychological health.

Gut issues also started to appear with more regular gas. Stomach pain was starting to be felt in his lower abdomen. Only small drops would come out during the last moments of urination when he felt his bladder had more to give.

By December 2021, some two and a half years after the initial sexual encounter, symptoms worsened further with a pulse beating in different parts of his body, including his upper left chest above the heart and on the left thigh.

Dimos felt sixty to seventy years old at this point, despite being only twenty-two years old. He stopped his university studies and moved to Athens to seek further medical opinion. The stress of stopping his studies and worrying about his symptoms started to cause more pronounced beating in the upper chest.

Dimos undertook another sperm test with a different Doctor who wanted a prostate fluid test which required a prostate massage first. The result showed a new form of bacteria present, staphylococcus coagulase negative. After this he was then prescribed Ciproxin for four weeks and then showed negative again for all microbes. 

Dimos also visited a cardiologist in January 2022 because of the pulses in his chest and the fact he constantly felt tired. These problems were worst when he was stressed, which even caused Dimos to think he had a problem in his own head. 

At this point and still with symptoms Dimos visited Doctor Pavlos Georgiadis. 

Treatment

Dimos undertook a uroflow test, transrectal scan, bladder scan, testicle scan and ultrasound. He also undertook a sperm test after a rigorous prostate massage.

The scan showed inflammation in the prostate. The Doctor also demonstrated that there was restriction in the urethra causing obstructed urine flow.

Ten days later the sperm test results came back showing infection with the following microbes;

Staphylococcus aureus 

Staphylococcus haemolyticus

Mycoplasma Hominis

Ureoplasma urealyticum

From September 2022 twice daily prostate massages started. Stomach pain started immediately reducing. The antibiotics prescribed caused less burning sensation. 

The new antibiotics also generated a better uroflow result and some improvement in urethra restriction with better maximum flow rate.

As prostate massages became more frequent, Dimos’s energy and tiredness improved and there were less problems getting erections. These erections were also becoming stronger.

Current Symptoms

Dimos still gets nerve pain in his back and neck. It feels as if there is a weight on Dimos’s back at times. Dimos still does not fully feel his old self yet despite being only twenty-two years old.

He still feels much older than his age, “I probably feel forty to fifty years old right now, Dimos recently freely admitted”.

The main reason Dimos sought this treatment program was his inability to have erections and he felt his brain could not function properly. In Dimos’s words “I had a cloudy mind; it was not sharp. My mind was so easily tired. It felt like some weight and pressure was on my brain”.

“The disease changed my personality one hundred and eighty degrees. I was the type of guy who was not afraid of anything and could face even the most difficult tasks. My mentality used to be, give me problems to fight. This has changed as I have concerns about not feeling that strong and my mind is not that focused on positive things”. 

“Before the symptoms, if you cut my hand, I would still feel OK. Taking male productivity this young is killing him in life”.

Dimos’s treatment is continuing but he is already feeling healthier and has less prostate inflammation and better urinary flow
