Gabe Mirkin on prostatitis: warning

Post by webslave »

Gabe Mirkin MD (a 70+ year old allergist) has a page entitled "CHRONIC PROSTATITIS CAN BE CURED" which is dangerously misleading and totally out of date. Example:
Gabe Mirkin wrote:If a) he sees more than 5 white blood cells in your secretions under the microscope, or b) the white blood cells are clumped together; or c) your urine has a positive leukocyte esterase or nitrite test and your urine culture and semen do not grow a germ, the odds are overwhelming that you are infected with chlamydia, mycoplasma or ureaplasma or something else that cannot be diagnosed
I have emailed him about it several times but he simply won't change it. What needs to be said about Dr Mirkin has been said many times before by others:
Dr David Casey, Urologist wrote: I've been to Dr. Mirkin's website... I'll just be nice and say I think he knows little about urology.
David L. Casey, MD
Denton Urology
Dr Shoskes' view of material posted on Mirkin's website in 1998. He finds Mirkin's website informaton to be "either an exaggeration, a distortion or flat out wrong".

The information from the old posts, Drs. Casey and Shoskes was great, but in terms of telling people to avoid his site, those T shirts swung it for me :lol:
This is not Medical advice - Consult your Doctor!

Age:39. Age at onset:31. Symptoms prior to treatment: Golf ball in rectum, severe urinary frequency (2-3x/hr; 5-10x/night); weak stream; painful ejaculation; coccygeal pain; tip of penis pain; general pelvic pain on left; testicular pain; supra-pubic pain. Current | Symptoms: Urinary frequency 1x every 2-3 hrs and 1-2 x a night; mild pelvic pain on left hand side (all symptoms still improving!)
Helped by: Trigger point release; avoiding exercise; pelvic floor relaxation; Neurontin decreased bladder sensitivity somewhat. Worsened by: Exercise; frequent ejaculation; ibuprofen irritates bladder. Made no difference: Diet; biofeedback; quercetin; Steroid anti-inflammatories; Elavil.

****UPDATE*** I am now able to sit again at work all day, and can perform moderate aerobic exersise again for the first time in 8 years!!!
