Article Synopsis
- - Chronic prostatitis, affecting 1.8% to 8.2% of individuals, can arise from factors that introduce bacteria into the urinary system, as well as conditions causing chronic pain; distinguishing it from other chronic pelvic pain causes is crucial.
- - The National Institutes of Health categorizes prostatitis into four types, with chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) and chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (CNP)/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) being the primary types linked to pelvic pain and urinary symptoms.
- - Treatment varies: while CBP may respond to antibiotics, CNP/CPPS, which makes up over 90% of chronic prostatitis cases, requires a more tailored approach involving medications
