Brief Summary:
Prevalence estimates show that prostatitis is one of the most common urological conditions and that symptoms range considerably among men of various socioeconomic status, race, and age. For men under 50 years, prostatitis is the most common urologic outpatient diagnosis. Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome has high prevalence estimates internationally ( 16% North America, 14% Asian \& Europeans). Men suffering from Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome report significant impairment in their quality of life which is also associated with greater health care expenditures.
Detailed Description:
The hallmark indicator of Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome has been identified as enduring pain in the perineum, pelvic area, and/or genitalia in many studies. As in other painful chronic conditions, pain does not correspond strongly with objective medical findings and has no orthodox pathology. It is however associated with voiding and sexual disturbances. Symptoms should have been present for at least 3 months within the previous 6 months and must be validated with the standard questionnaire of the National Institute of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index. In most patients, pain is the main symptom. Chronic bacterial prostatitis the predominant type of prostatitis is a common and painful condition, typified by pelvic area pain and lower urinary tract symptoms, for which effective diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies remain elusive. Previous studies have documented an association between prostatitis and both psychiatric and rheumatologic diseases. Socioeconomic status indicators, such as lower education and lower income, also played an important role in predicting which men would have worse chronic prostatitis symptoms. These findings are consistent with those found among women with interstitial cystitis; women with lower education and income in the Interstitial Cystitis Database were more likely to report more severe symptoms.
