@connect4321 Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't realize how much the wrong types of exercise could cause massive inflammation. I just thought that since I didn't see any blood in my urine that it was okay to play tennis. I'm already peeing a little better after 4 days off from tennis.

Something interesting to note: A few months ago after I had my cystoscopy (which determined I needed my large median lobe removed) I got all the symptoms of an UTI. I had played tennis the day after my scope and evidently my prostate is very sensitive to anything poking around there. I thought for sure I had a UTI as I had all the symptoms (burning sensation, difficulty peeing) but the urine culture came up negative. I assumed that the urine analysis might be incorrect as the PA said I could still have a UTI deep in my prostate which doesn't always show up in the urine analysis. But now that this has happened again (after the surgery), I see clearly that it was the tennis that caused all my problems. I play singles and I run hard on the courts which can be very jarring. I waited to play tennis about 3 weeks after the surgery and evidently it was not long enough of a wait.
