Is loss of urinary bladder control a common problem with prostatitis?
Generally not, although loss of bladder control can occur when the urinary tract is irritated and prostatitis can be a part of this problem. But, loss of bladder control may have a number of different causes and further evaluation may need to be done. I’m so frustrated, why won’t this go away? Frustration with prostatitis that does not disappear and stay away after the first or second course of therapy is a common phenomenon. It is a kind of “Catch 22”. The chronic nature of the problem may cause frustration, and the frustration may contribute to the problem by causing tension and spasms in the pelvic musculature. This is where stress management and lifestyle changes may potentially make a significant contribution to improving the condition. It is important to talk about these frustrations. Specific approaches can often be recommended which provide a path to improvement.
