Hi guys
Found this thread through and wanted to share my story. Laugh or not but it's the truth in my case.
From Europe and have been diagnosed with CPPS (Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome / non-bacterial prostatitis) since several years.
Am 36 now and have been daily smoking weed since I was 18.
My shit started with:
Started having urinary frequency in early 20's and urine stream has been reduced to almost nothing. Have to sit to pee.
Last year was smoking 3 joints a day or so and in a sudden 48 hours window my life was reduced to hell. Non-stop, constant urge to urinate even though bladder was empty. Was losing all hope. Imaging your bladder bursting and you can't relief it. I was 2 months off work, lost a lot of weight, lots of urine retention (unable to pee) and due to panic attacks at that time I stopped weed in July 2013 and got on much Xanax to get some relief. Of course had cannabis withdrawals so Xanax was a lifesaver for that. Went to 4 urologists, neurologist etc. Had lots of tests (internal and external). They found nothing. Have now a pacemaker in my butt to give pulses to my sacral nerves for coping with my symptoms. And it doesn't work so well. Also took lots of shitty medications for it.
After things calmed down (at least the non-human urgency to urinate) I started back smoking weed in November. Missed it too much you know. Crazy how your body gets used to weed after all those years. I was stoned as hell with so small amounts lol. Of course got fully in old habit again and BAM 3 weeks ago exact same experience after smoking some crazy-ass Amnesia Haze. I was 2 weeks in total pain and got suicidal (cannot copy with these crazy urges with no relief). I only wanted to die at those moments.
I have now quit weed for 1 week and things got already better after 24 hours of quitting. Less heavy feeling in pelvis, urinate a little better, urges calm down.
So for me THE ABUSE of weed definitely plays a role in my shitty disease!
I also realize there is low amount of potheads that experience this some way or another but the original poster and article is right!!!
I know crazy but I also have found thanks to an expert homeopathic dude how to reduce my craving weed intensely. If someone is interested to know what shit you need to make that potion pm me.
But don't get me wrong. I love weed!!!! I don't blame it all on weed but it aggravates my case I realize now. Sooner or later you have to give it up I think. My time is now for good.
Have quite some left though. About 15g Amnesia and 10gr Ketama hash. Cannot emotionally throw this away.
Cheers and smoke one for me! At least the guys that have no issues.

I'm very glad I found this thread. Let me share my story but I'll keep it brief.
I started smoking when I was about 16. I'm 21 now and a daily smoker. You can look at the date I joined to see that I'm legit.
Last March I quit smoking weed for 30 days which was the longest break I've taken since starting. Soon after I started smoking again I noticed I had to go to the bathroom more often, especially at night. Over the course of the next month it got very bad until I went to the doctor. He diagnosed me with prostatitis and prescribed me doxycycline for two weeks which I finished. Soon after finishing the problem came back. Since then I've been on and off antibiotics. Keflex seems to work really well.
After reading this thread I'm going to take another break from weed to see if it gets any better. I'll check back and post if it does.
For anyone reading this out there who is going through this I want to tell you that it does get better and that you're not the only person going through this. There are lots of us. Also, go to walgreens and buy something called Azo (pyridium). You can only take it for two days in a row but it helps a lot with the stinging pain.

What's up guys I'm stopping in for an update.
Turns out I didn't have any issues with my prostate. Prostatitis is simply what doctors diagnose when men show these symptoms but it's not always the cause. They also prescribe antibiotics without any type of infection just to pacify the patient in hopes that it will anecdotally disappear before they run out of antibiotics.
The problem was actually my pelvic floor. I have bad anxiety and I was holding it in my pelvic area. You know how when you get scared your nuts and asshole tense up a bit? Well I was doing that all the time which made my pelvic floor muscles super tense and unable to relax. When I smoked weed I got more anxious and tightened up more which made this problem worse. Also when I first got diagnosed with prostatitis it made me even more tense, exacerbating the problem.
I had no fucking clue that anxiety could cause pain this bad. It was always in the back of my head that this wasn't actually my prostate but I couldn't think of what else it could be.
If you found this page through google while frantically searching for answers for your pain you're probably not alone. I really want to stress that it does get better. When I made my last post I was a mess and even contemplating suicide over this issue that I thought would last the rest of my life. Now I feel as good as I did before this issue started
If you think it may be your pelvic floor I suggest you bring it up to your doctor, or simply take a muscle relaxer and see if it goes away. Yesterday I took a very small dose of Valium (2mg) and it COMPLETELY got rid of my pain and urgency issues. Today I tried 10mg of cyclobenzaprine and it seems to be gone.
I chose to share my story on this site instead of a prostatitis forum because I love my fellow stoners and want them to feel better. I wouldn't wish this problem on my worst enemy.
Here's the site that helped me drastically. I suggest you read it even if you don't think you have pelvic floor issues because it also talks about prostatitis and it's overdiagnosis: http://malepelvicfloor.com/cpps.html

I joined this forum just to post this info-thanks to all before me because I don't feel so unsure now. I am almost 65 and have been a heavy pot smoker since 18 years old. Here in Calif we can grow it so I have really used a lot in the last ten years-approx 10 to 15 joints a day (I'm retired) -I have had prostate problems for about 20 years. Now, I have a great deal of pain and difficulty starting, especially after I smoke, vap, or bong-so the pain has become an all day thing (cause I smoke all day and even smoke in the night if I can't sleep). I stopped for a couple of days (really tough for me) and my pain and some of the urgency subsided-and I felt like I could pee easier and on que for a change----then I lit my first joint up and as soon as it hit my head it also hit my perineal area and the association was unmistakable-yet I have fought to deny this reality as pot is my favorite thing and my very last vice. I have gone to parties-daytime no drinking-and smoked some good stuff and then really have the urge to urinate-but can't. In the old days when I used to run out of pot for a few days, I would notice an initial period of very frequent urination (say eight hours) then sort of normal. Then when I scored some pot and smoked I would not have to urinate for a long time-like the pot made my body hold water. The cottonmouth effect tells me there is something to the pot and body water regulation issue. Anyway, thanks everyone for the informative posts and those naysayers will probably be joining the believers as they age and use. Hey, I'm not rapping on pot-I love it-but I've given up coffee and alcohol and still have this problem-and it gets much worse when I smoke or vap or even ingest the butter (eating it can be the worst for my symptoms). You know, a person starts thinking they are nuts when you try to associate pot and the prostate, but I really have no doubt now. Best Everyone Larry

Thanks for sharing that, Larry, it's definitely something I will look out for. I've never heard of this before this thread. From my perspective you smoke a LOT of weed, what is the weight of your 15 daily joints? 10 grams? More? How much did you smoke daily before the last decade? I have been growing for about 5 years, and I currently grow four strains that are so very dank. I only go through about a gram per day, ironically less than I was smoking before I began growing. I'm in my early 40s, but I'm pretty much retired as I only grow and play music for a living. How is your diet, and do you get any regular exercise? Sorry for all the questions, but I'd like to have the data to gauge against my own lifestyle and habits...

I was always a daily smoker if weed was available, but used maybe 2 joints a day in the "before growing times"----My habits----3 times a week at the gym-work with weights mostly-good diet, lots of veges-I do eat meat-too much sugar though--not overweight ( 6feet and 180lbs)--used to drink daily, but not anymore-coffee is the worst offender, but the weed has caught up with me----right after I smoke I feel the pain-joints are worst but the vaporizer is also bad--I use maybe an ounce every 5 days-your use isn't bad-wouldn't worry too much

Actually I started back smoking about 2.5 years ago after a 20 plus year hiatus. I was prescribed a drug for prostate issues with flow called flomax. I had to stop taking it it made me very dizzy. A few months later a friend I work with smoked a joint with me at lunch and I said wow it's been a long time. Anyway long story short I found that weed eliminated my prostate issues. I've also lost 55 lbs and can get back in my AF jacket. It's a bit rotten. Vietnam era. I'm an old man. Then I came here, learned a lot and supply myself and my much younger friend free. I'm thankful he started working with me in electronics. I feel 30 years younger. And my wife of 38 years is amazed if you know what I mean. But if I smoke too much, which I have a tendency to do it seems to much on the prostate. So I try not to smoke more than a couple grams of Sour D a day.

Love me some Sour D! I see: smoking a moderate amount seems to eliminate your prostate issues, but too much exacerbates them. That makes sense to me. I also had to quit caffeine about 5 years ago; I drank a couple of pots a day since my youth and totally burned out my adrenal glands. I now drink a great decaf all day, and don't miss the caffeine a bit. You seem to have carved a great life for yourself, and your recent surge of self-improvement is quite inspiring. Your best years may be ahead of you, and that's the way it should be. We're as young as we feel, right?

I've cut coffee almost completely. I do drink more unsweetened ice tea. I think the younger man helped bring some self worth back. After repairing machine tools for years it's nice to see an inspired young fellow. I hope to retire some day very soon.
Hey guys I'm here to tell you everything I've learned about pelvic pain/prostatitis and marijuana over the past ten months.
Last March I started cycling to get exercise every day. After about a week I started to have to pee very frequently and sometimes I had pain after going to the bathroom. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with prostatitis and they prescribed antibiotics. The antibiotics didn't work so I went to a Urologist who gave me a different antibiotic. Over the next six months the problem got worse and worse and I started staying at home every day and not hanging out with friends. I would just sit and search on the internet for solutions to my problem which is what brought me to this thread in the first place. I switched to another urologist who diagnosed me with a pelvic floor problem. I still didn't believe that it could be a muscular problem because it hurt so fucking bad and didn't feel like it could be muscular. Long story short I went in for pelvic floor biofeedback where I had to shove a sensor up my ass and test how tight my muscles were. They were more than seven times tighter than they should be. I was stuck in a cycle of pain, anxiety, tensing, and it just kept getting worse. The worst part was that weed triggered it, but it was the only thing that I had to keep me from going insane.
I'm a month into doing once a week physical therapy for my pelvic floor now and it's working great. It's hard to believe that I there are so many people out there in the same situation I was in when the solution is so simple. Don't believe all of the scary stories you read on the internet or that bullshit herballove website that says marijuana swells the prostate. It's all bullshit. I straight up asked my urologist and he told me that marijuana does not effect the prostate and can even have a protective effect. If you're like me, you're just an anxious person and weed can sometimes make that anxiety worse. Another thing is coughing, which really puts strain on your pelvic floor and causes pelvic pain. I've noticed when I cough more after smoking I have much worse pain. To the people who say that weed makes them have to pee, that's because you have a tight pelvic floor that's not tight enough to be painful, but weed will tighten in it up so that you have to pee.
The last thing I want to touch on is that if you are diagnosed with prostatitis and antibiotics don't help, you very likely have a pelvic floor issue. Prostatitis is easily treated with antibiotics. I've read in a few places that 95% of prostatitis cases do not have a bacterial origin. And if weed makes it worse, it's probably a muscle problem because weed doesn't effect your prostate.

I too have been diagnosed with Pelvic Floor Disorder and I have determined that pot has been the culprit for me after 2 years of enjoying the fine bud. Its not that I blame pot, its more along the lines that I was smoking it during the times of high stress and anxiety that caused my pelvic floor to tense up and stay tight. For awhile I could not determine what the cause was. I just recently separated from the military and living in CO I wanted to partake in the legal weed out here. I never thought it would highten my stress. Sadly, I was under the impression that it wasn't pot and that it was some other culprit that was causing me pain in my pelvic region and increasing my frequency of urination, so it just got worse and worse. It has taken a huge toll on my quality of life but I am in the process of receiving physical therapy for it. Without divulging to much personal detail, you said you were having a lot of positive feedback with your PT. My PT varies, and my symptoms come and go. Could you share some of your insight towards what your physical therapy consists of and what drugs they have you taking, so that I can discuss this with my doctor? I have been building an "arsenal" to counter act this disorder so that I can try different methods of ridding me of this pain. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I first and foremost want to say I truly love to smoke herb and this thread was exactly what I needed to read to understand what is currently going on with my body. I smoke everyday and have for at least 12+ yrs. I am now 30. I have been to the doctor and urologist 3 times this month for what I guess is "prostate and bladder pain and pressure". It started 8 weeks ago I ate a FitMeal I bought from Kroger. The next day and 5 days consecutively I was having severe diarrhea. Once that subsided I was left with pelvic pains and pressure, constant urination and such for 2 weeks. Then back pains, then Prostate pains, tightness in my pelvic and ass muscles and finally shooting pains in the crease of my left leg by my ass. I continued to smoke bcz why would smoking make what I thought was food poisoning or a bacterial infection any worse? Well, I was diagnosed with prostititis (what they call this pain when they don't know what's wrong) and no bacteria was found in my urine. Also std tests came back negative. I was prescribed docycyclomine which after about 7 days made me feel much better except..every time I smoke weed the pain near my prostate, left leg and pelvis would inflame to the point of me having to go to bed. I would wake up feeling fine but as soon as I took a few hits from the bubbler, BAM the pain would come back within minutes! It sucks bcz I love to smoke reefer. I could literally feel excellent for a 10 hours of hard labor work day and as soon as I got home at night I would relax to self medicate with the herbs and the pains and tightness would come right back. As my thc high would wear off, the pain would also subside. I have come to the conclusion via my own experiences over the past few weeks and now this thread that whether it be prostititis or whatever this problem is, my love for marihuana is definitely causing it to feel much much much worse. I am going to stop smoking until this seems to be completely gone (hopefully only a month or two) and when it's gone I will try to smoke again. I will try to remember to come back on the thread and give feedback to if it comes back or if I just needed a break for the antibiotics to handle this situation. Happy smoking to those of you who do not have this issue but I truly hope this will help those of you feeling the same discomforts as I have read many of us are having. I will also speak with my urologist of this thread so maybe doctors can get a better idea of why marijuana has had such wonderful affects in my life until this issue occurred.

PS. Caffeine and cigarettes do not affect these pains. Unfortunately only the herbs are causing such discomfort. Sad but true.

Maybe caffeine does have a negative effect! I have stopped my 2 favorite things, coffee and reefer and I feel much better. Once I drink coffee the prostititis wil flare up within a few hours. Once I smoke herb it will flare up within minutes.
My physical therapy consists of external trigger point release, fascia stretching and some exercises to rebuild the muscles on my right leg. I also am doing biofeedback which is like an anal probe that reads how tight my pelvic floor is. According to my PT my left side is more strong than my right side which is overstressing my pelvic floor. Once I get the muscles in my leg fixed she's hoping that the pelvic pain won't return. I also learned something about a week ago that I would love to share with you. Try sitting on a tennis ball for ten minutes each day. Place it under your perineal area and slowly sit on it. Now just sit on it until the muscles calm down and the tension releases a bit. You've got to get it in the right place but since I started doing this a week ago I've noticed a huge difference.
I have a prescription to Valium and it works like a charm. I can take 10mg and the pain will completely disappear until it wears off. If I take some a few hours before having an orgasm, then I don't have flareups for days after like I used to. I don't want to take it more than once or twice a week even though I think it would get rid of the problem completely if I took it daily.
Buy the book "A Headache In The Pelvis". It explains this disorder perfectly and has a lot of tips that can help. I don't exactly agree with their treatment though. I don't think that everyone needs internal trigger point release to get over pelvic floor problems. They're just trying to make money by flying people out to their $6,000 clinic. I do agree though that it is a tension disorder and won't go away until you become conscious of your pelvic floor and learn to relax it throughout the day.
In the past month since I recognized this as a pelvic floor disorder and treated it as one, my symptoms have almost completely dissipated, and this is after being in the worst pain of my life for six months having to piss every twenty minutes. I think this problem is very psychosomatic and driven by personal thoughts. Even when I smoke weed now I might notice a small flare up for the first five or ten minutes of being high, but as long as I keep my pelvic floor relaxed the pain barely comes on and leaves fast.
Sorry for the late response but I hope you read this. Now that I know people are replying to my post I'll bookmark this and come back every few days. If anyone has any questions regarding pelvic floor dysfunction or prostatitis feel free to ask.
Stop holding your tension in your gooch! Grind your teeth if you need to or get a stress ball.
BTW, if you don't have bacteria in your body, the antibiotics won't help you at all. Get a new urologist that understands the pelvic floor.

hi guys,i'm a new member here,31 years old,married but i prefer to masturbate,lol i just want to tell you my story about prostatitis symptoms .i tried every kind of antibiotics with little results,symptoms always come back.,i tried herbal treatments with no success,i was living in hell ,frustrated and depressed.given the fact that despite being in pain,i didnt stop masturbation or sex which of course made my symptoms worse,then one day after i smoked a joint 
,i told myself,maybe the abuse of masturbation was the reason behind my symptoms,maybe i must give my sexual organs rest and see what will happen.so i decided to completely stop masturbating and even sex with my wife,she was pissed but i don't care and i found myself gradually improving but slowly,i didn't stop smoking pot though,the reason that i was not improving fast is because even though i am not touching my little friend,i was constantly thinking about women and since i'm a foot fetishist lol and you know feet is everywhere and they do turn me on (i know i'm a perv )but anyway,in my humble opinion and long time researching,i didn't improve fast in the beginning because i was constantly looking at hot women's bodies thinking about sex all the time,feet prostate was filling with semen and congested so symptoms didn't improve,so i decided to forget about women,sex and feet(which was very difficult)and surprise,i was improving very fast like weekly not daily to be honest,every week i'm better than the week before,i'm now in the 6th week without sex,masturbation,erotic thinking ,i can say now im 80% better,with much less urinary symptoms and pain,i can feel close to normal for the first time in my life.so i think i will give it two more weeks then if i masturbate or have sex,i will not edge myself coz i think edging is very related to this problem,since my theory is the more you masturbate and edge while high,you are abusing the prostate ,so it produce symptoms,if you dont give a chance for your prostate to completely rest and heal itself,symptoms will stay.about the pelvic floor muscle theory,it makes a lot of sense to me since the habit of masturbation and edging may lead to chronic tension in the pelvic floor muscles and an abused prostate at the same time.
my advice from personal experience to my new buddies is to try and forget about sex ,fetishes(if u have one) for a while maybe 6 or 8 weeks,no masturbation,no sex ,no thinking,nothing,i know its hard but it worked for me after visiting doctors,taking antibiotics,herbs,everything,the solution is simple,rest,don't think,don't edge and let nature take its course.i hope i was helpful to my buddies,and any comments,questions are more than welcomed.thank you

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. If you don't mind I would like to give my opinion on why I think your symptoms are improving.hi guys,i'm a new member here,31 years old,married but i prefer to masturbate,lol i just want to tell you my story about prostatitis symptoms .i tried every kind of antibiotics with little results,symptoms always come back.,i tried herbal treatments with no success,i was living in hell ,frustrated and depressed.given the fact that despite being in pain,i didnt stop masturbation or sex which of course made my symptoms worse,then one day after i smoked a joint
my advice from personal experience to my new buddies is to try and forget about sex ,fetishes(if u have one)
There is probably nothing wrong with your prostate. There is a big disagreement between doctors as to what causes chronic prostatitis. Some think that it is a prostate problem while others think that it is a muscular problem. I've been to many different doctors who have told me both, but I've learned that it's definitely a muscular problem. Have you ever had a prostate exam? Did they say it felt boggy or infected?
When you masturbate and have an orgasm you are putting your pelvic floor muscles to work very hard. When you orgasm you flex those muscles tightly over and over. You probably stressed out your levator ani muscle very hard and it gave you transferred prostate pain.
Now that you've quit masturbating those muscles have had time to relax so blood flow has improved and you feel better. I doubt you will have any problems thinking about sex or edging as long as you don't stress your pelvic floor. Prostate congestion is relieved overnight through nocturnal emissions.
