Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome
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.
