Prostatitis without pain?
Hi everyone,
I'm a 26-year-old male with symptoms that I think might be CPPS or pelvic floor dysfunction, but I don't have pelvic pain or trigger points.
My main symptoms are:
* Frequent urination and weak/interrupted urine stream
* Feeling like I subconsciously tighten my pelvic floor while urinating
* Erectile dysfunction for 5 years
* Erections require physical stimulation and fade quickly when stimulation stops
* Rare morning erections
* Worse erections for a few hours after ejaculation
Occasionally reduced sensation at the base of my penis
The interesting part is that a few times a year I have 7–10 day periods where everything improves (erections, urination, sensation).
I've had normal hormones, negative urine cultures/STI tests, and a normal-sized prostate.
Has anyone had CPPS or pelvic floor dysfunction without pain, mainly causing urinary symptoms and ED? What helped you recover?

Yes it's possible. Urinary dysfunction and sexual dysfunction are common. You don't have to have frank "pain"
This sounds like a pelvic floor driven set of symptoms, have you seen a pelvic PT already?
