Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome

Michel A Pontari. Urol Clin North Am. 2008 Feb.

Abstract

In the 20th century, the term "prostatitis" traditionally referred to inflammation in the prostate, often attributed to infection. Prostatitis in this century usually refers to a chronic pain syndrome for which the presence of inflammation and involvement of the prostate are not always certain. This article discusses chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and the various factors associated with diagnosis and treatment.
