I have had issues with pain after orgasm for about seven years now. obviously I've been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis by a few urologists. my new doctor said he believes it is a pelvic floor dysfunction. he is leery about giving me muscle relaxers because of side effects. I'm not sure what i should do. i get some relief from cardura but not enough. kind of puts a damper on spontaneous sex when you have to wait until your pain free to do it again. anyone have a problem like this? im willing to try anything at this point.

Spasms in muscles implies that you may not have enough magnesium in your diet.

A chelated magnesium supplement like magnesium citrate, or gluconate, or a SlowMag twice a day, may help relax muscles that are tight.

Aim for 1/2 the RDA which for adults is 200mg a day.
Avoid magnesium OXIDE...as it is not absorbed.

You can also try to sit in a bathtub with epsom salts, about 6oz to a 1/2 bathtub of warm water (not hot), and keep the water warm and soak for at least 1/2 hour. This will send the magnesium into your pelvic area, and may help that way too.
It is easy, inexpensive and very effective.

If magnesium does not help (and about 70% of US is low in magnesium according to studies)...then you may have an injured nerve. Did you use Cipro or Levaquin for your prostatitis? If so, you may have fluoroquinoline nerve damage, and this may not be easy to fix if at all.

Try the epsom salt soaks. Once a day should be enough.
Be careful because they make the tub slippery to get out of.

thanks for the reply. i didnt use any of those drugs. i was told almost from the start it was my muscles contracting and basically staying that way for days. i use cardura which does help some. but my prostate size is fine as i've been scoped on a couple of occasions.
