Not sure if this is the right place go ask, or whether this counts as going dirty on main. I've never really been about the butt stuff, but nothing against it either, it's just not my thing. But a few years ago, I started getting prostate stones, little crystals of mostly protein I'm told that come out with ejaculate. I had a couple years of that and then it stopped. I worry that it's still building up and calcifying back there and it's going to lead to me having a calcified prostate with all those stereotypical middle aged man problems. So, I wonder if hitting the prostate from the backside can break things up enough to start cleaning things out again. I've tried using a finger a couple times, but found it not super comfortable and it didn't really seem to make a difference. Is this inflatable sort of thing going to be my best bet in applying enough pressure to push things out without inflaming anything? Or is there a better tool for the job, so to speak? I appreciate your time and expertise in this, um, sensitive matter.
So, I am so very much so not a doctor, and I would seriously consider consulting one.
However, from experience, the inflatables aren't necessarily the best for prostate stimulation. They're great for that stretch feeling, but it sounds like that's not what you're into. I'd consider looking into actual prostate massagers, some of which are very small and don't give you that uncomfortable feeling. But seriously, talk to the doc about it, too, please
This is good info, too, thank you. Shamefully, my life has been plagued by non-24 sleep disorder that has made it hard to hold a job for more than 18 months at a time. I eventually become exhausted and sleep deprived and have to quit, and while I should see doctors in that time, I never really have, I just work and try to save money for the between times.
I don't want to paint my situation as doom and gloom though, please no pity for the above. I'm finally in possession of technology and time to complete the project I've always wanted to complete, which is now close to completion and should serve as the kind of portfolio that will get me exactly the job I want, if not making passive income on its own. One way or another, I'll be stable and seeing a doctor soon. But having lived the life I've lived, it now makes me passionate and focused on creating a new system that circumvent the parts of capitalism that have made me feel so tread-upon.
As a side note, there actually is decent healthcare in my state that I could probably take advantage of in the short term at not terrible cost if I just applied. But I get stuck in this cycle where I feel I won't be stable until I have a job that's good for me, I don't feel confident getting that job until my project is complete enough to show off, and any time I devote to advancing my own health takes away from time spent on completing the project. I can't pretend it's healthy or sustainable. I just feel like I'm so close now so I'm trying to get there before anything serious breaks. And the closer I get to finishing this thing, the easier I sleep at night. Which makes me think maybe the root of these sleep problems might be stress from living in such a system where my physical health is conditional. I have no answers and there's a lot I'm not doing right, but please don't worry about me. So many others in greater need of our worries. I'll report back on the prostate though. For science.
Do you have a general practitioner that you see for an annual physical or anything? Ask them about it. I had a weird skin condition thing happening in one specific spot on my body that I asked my doctor about, and he pulled up a big medical directory on the computer and cross-referenced symptoms and stuff through it. Eventually, we were both like, "It's not cancer or anything, but damned if I know exactly what it is." And he asked me if I wanted a referral to a specialist to get it checked out. These kinds of things are exactly what they're here for. They can probably recommend things like what to eat and things to avoid for prostate health, and even order tests to get it checked out if you and they feel it's necessary.
Short answer is I've been to urgent care twice, once in my early twenties for pneumonia and once a couple years ago for a fungal ear infection that a nurse practitioner was able to flush out. Other than that, just dental visits and eye exams.
It's not necessarily an aversion (though I'm wary of pharmaceutical kickbacks leading to over-medication). It's mostly the way all these regular responsibilities stack up (oil changes, DMV, dishes, laundry, etc), doctor's appointments are the thing where I don't see immediate consequences for not doing. But I recognize that I've finally encountered a medical issue that requires deeper examination and treatment than I can do on my own. And I'm just getting to that age where I need to do more preventative checks. Mostly right now I'm trying to see if there's anything I can do to keep any potential issue from getting worse between now and the time I have insurance again.
But I agree. It will be nice to have a GP even if just so I don't have to feel so alone in my healthcare.
