Doctors Studio

Is your prostate medication part of a plan, or has it become the plan?

You started it to get a night's sleep. That was a while ago, and yet the refills keep coming. Why has nobody mentioned what happens next?

Our founder, Dr. Lisbeth Roy, D.O., is the first to say it: "I'm not anti-medication. I think it's wonderful to have symptom relief."

The pill quiets the symptom, and time goes by without addressing the root cause. Years on, the symptoms can get worse, and the medication may not work as well as it once did.

Used alongside a real look for the cause, Dr. Roy calls it wonderful: "That's what they're intended for, not forever."

Don't change anything you take without talking to your doctor. But do make sure you're asking what the plan is.

Too young for prostate problems?

Most men chalk it up to turning 50. Up twice a night, a stream that takes its time, a seat by the aisle at every ballgame. Half your friends have the same story, so it must just be the age.

Then Dr. Lisbeth Roy, D.O. says this:

"We have a 19-year-old in our practice who's having prostate issues."

Nineteen.

She's seeing it in men in their 20s and 30s. And many of the older men she treats have "had these problems for decades."

If it can show up that early, age was never the whole explanation.

They ran a urine culture. It came back negative.

So that's that... except you're still running to the bathroom all day, and still up in the night.

What does Dr. Roy have to say about the standard urine culture? "It's an 1800s technology."

Here's the thing... A culture finds what grows in a dish. As she puts it, years ago culture didn't pick up these bacteria. Without more sensitive testing, you don't realize it's actually an infection.

And the symptoms? The ones every man knows. Urgency. Frequency. You name it.

Is it common? Yes, it's definitely common. But it's not normal... and that's worth holding on to.

What about you? Did a negative culture end the conversation? Tell us in the comments below.

A cardiologist for your heart. A gastroenterologist for your gut. A urologist for your prostate.

Each one looking at their own piece.

And the nights up, the urgency, the prostate symptoms? Still there.

At Doctors Studio®, Jennifer Wright, NP starts somewhere else: "This is so much more than just a disease of the prostate."

Her reason: "The body is not linear in any way, shape or form. It works all together. So if you're just looking at the prostate, you're not getting all the information."

Know a man who's seen specialist after specialist for the same problem? Send him this.

Two men. Same prostate symptoms. Usually, the same prescription.

Look underneath, though, and they can be two very different men.

Our Clinical Director, Jennifer Wright, NP, sees it in the comprehensive blood panel. One gentleman shows "very high mercury or arsenic levels." Another has "no detectable metals," but his panel points to "parasites and different GI issues."

Same symptoms. Different findings. And in her words: "It'll drive what happens next."

That's why we look first and plan second.

Another round of antibiotics for your prostate.

You feel better for a while. Then the urgency comes back. The nights up come back. And you're back in the waiting room asking for round three.

If that's your story, here's what our Clinical Director, Jennifer Wright, NP, sees going on.

Bacteria, she says, "are really smart." Once they're in the prostate, they form biofilms: "a bunch of different pathogens that stick together and are shielded by proteins and sugar."

Never stop a prescribed antibiotic without talking to your doctor.

If you want to know what's actually going on in there, call us at (561) 444-7751 and ask for a Prostate Clarity Call.

"It's just your age."

You're past 60. You haven't slept through the night in years. And that's the explanation you got, usually right before the next prescription refill.

Jennifer Wright, NP talks about age too. She just doesn't stop there.

"It's taken 70 years for him to get to this point," she says. "So things in the body have to change over time."

And she asks the question the age line skips: "What's driving all of these different pieces and parts?"

Age tells you how long it took to get here. It doesn't tell you why.

How many years have you been told it's just your age?

Your prostate is the one complaining. It may not be the one causing it.

You know the routine. Your tests come back normal. You don't feel normal. Same prescription. Come back in six months.

We asked our Clinical Director, Jennifer Wright, NP, what actually drives these prostate conditions in men.

She didn't give one answer. She gave five:

1. Hormonal dysregulation
2. Biofilm and chronic infection
3. Detoxification issues
4. Metabolic dysregulation
5. Immune system dysregulation

Prostate problems? Either way, it takes work.

The prescription refills. The procedure sitting on the calendar. The days off work. The vacation you turned down... again.

You did everything they asked. And you're still up at 3 a.m., walking to the bathroom in the dark.

That's a lot of work. All of it going toward staying sick.

Jennifer Wright, NP, our Clinical Director at Doctors Studio®, says it in one line: "Every day you have to work at being sick. Here, we want every day you working at being well."

She won't tell you the other road is easier. It still takes work. The difference is where the work goes.

So which one are you working at right now?
