Hey there,
I have just seen, that there is no thread about osteopathy!
Is this a treatment worth trying?
In Germany Osteopathy is either done by medical doctors or physical therapists or "healing practitioners".
Which would you prefer?
Male or female therapist?
Treatment is not covered by health plan, I would need to pay the bill myself (though some my health plan offers some cash back).
I just visited a m.d. osteopath, but there was not the "right chemistry" initially, so I not sure to continue.
What do you think, is it just in my head? I am so exclusive about who may touch my body...
Maybe the osteopath will do internal treatment...
Thanks for your input.

Osteopathy: Any hope?
Age: 41 Onset Age: 14, 22 got really bad
Symptoms: pain and discomfort perineum, a little bit while sitting in the right half of the scrotum. Sometimes dual stream while urinating. While ejaculating, not all shoots outside, some stays and flows outside with time (Without medication very painful).
Diagnosis: have seen several urologists in my life, have done any possible and pain creating diagnosis could not help me ever. Life was hopeful after googling the Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol in early 2008, then every ache started making sense./ Hemorrhoids: they stress my prostate when I have a Hemorrhoid flare!
Helped By: Physical therapy, keeping myself warm, hatha yoga, stretching, walking, relaxation, distraction, Tadalafil 5 mg
Worsened By: Constipation, Fear or OCD "flare up", sitting and not doing any kind of "motion", too much tension in media or life, caffeine and acidy food
Prior Treatments: Antibiotics, Tamsulosin, Lyrica, Gabapentin, Tylenol

Re: Osteopathy: Any hope?
I'm not a fan of alternative medicine for treating CPPS. There's nothing about osteopaths here because they're simply not successful for treating this condition. However, you can certainly try them and report back. But an ordinary physical therapist would be better, one who is trained in treatment for CPPS. Cheaper and more effective.

Re: Osteopathy: Any hope?
This is very interesting since osteopathy comes from the USA and I thought there was more experience with CPPS.
Osteopathy claims a more holistic approach, healing things in the body which could affect CPPS...

Re: Osteopathy: Any hope?
My current Urologist is a DO and not an MD. He was recommended by my last Urologist that was an MD. Actually I was passed off to my current one. It was his suggestion that with CPPS, I would be better off with a Urologist taking a more holistic approach with CPPS. Doing so kind of made sense to me considering the previous 2 Urologists had little they could do for me outside of running tests.
Age: 52 | Onset Age:49 (but I may have had warning signs 25 yrs earlier)| Symptoms: Pretty much all the usual suspects. Frequency, urgency, inability to always empty, burning and numbing uretheral, penile & perineum pain. Frequent urination at night.| Helped By: Internal PT. Myrbetriq helps but is by no means great. TENS to help sleep, and hand held massages of the lower back, hips and buttocks. Standing and physical labor help. Stretches and hot baths. Occasionally use gel iced pad on the perineum. Worsened By: Sitting (being sedentary), driving, sex, bowel movements, tight clothing and underwear. | Other comments: Currently trying L-Theanine
