  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_prostatitis/chronic_pelvic_pain_syndrome

  Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is characterized by pelvic or perineal pain without evidence of urinary tract infection, lasting longer than 3 months, as the key symptom. Symptoms may wax and wane. Pain can range from mild to debilitating. Pain may radiate to the back and rectum, making sitting uncomfortable. Pain can be present in the perineum, testicles, tip of penis, pubic or bladder area. Dysuria, arthralgia, myalgia, unexplained fatigue, abdominal pain, constant burning pain in the penis, and frequency may all be present. Frequent urination and increased urgency may suggest interstitial cystitis (inflammation centred in bladder rather than prostate). Post-ejaculatory pain, mediated by nerves and muscles, is a hallmark of the condition. […] In recent years, the prognosis for CP/CPPS has improved with the advent of multimodal treatment, phytotherapy, protocols aimed at quieting the pelvic nerves through myofascial trigger point release, anxiety control and chronic pain therapy.

  In between flare-ups, you may have some mild residual pain and some mild urinary symptoms (such as passing urine frequently or an urgent desire to pass urine). […] Up to 8% of men will be affected by symptoms of prostatitis at some point in their lives, however it is difficult to know how many truly have chronic prostatitis as the symptoms may sometimes be due to another condition. The risk of having chronic prostatitis goes up with age, being three times more common in men aged 50 – 59 than in those aged 20 – 39. […] Chronic bacterial prostatitis is usually caused by the same type of germs (bacteria) that causes the urine infections. The prostate gland can harbour infection and therefore recurring infections can occur. […] CPPS is a type of chronic prostatitis that causes discomfort or pain in your lower pelvic region – mainly at the base of your penis and around your anus. It is usually diagnosed if you have had pain for at least three months within the previous six months.

  You may have chronic prostatitis if you’ve had the following symptoms for at least three months: pain in and around your penis, testicles, anus, lower abdomen, or lower back […] pain when peeing, a frequent or urgent need to pee, particularly at night, or „stop-start” peeing […] an enlarged or tender prostate on rectal examination, although in some cases it may be normal […] sexual problems, such as erectile dysfunction, pain when ejaculating, or pelvic pain after sex. […] These symptoms can have a significant impact on your quality of life. However, in most cases, they’ll gradually improve over time and with treatment. […] See your GP immediately if you develop sudden and severe symptoms of prostatitis. […] You may have acute prostatitis. It needs to be assessed and treated quickly to prevent serious problems, such as being unable to pass urine. […] Chronic prostatitis can be challenging to treat because little is known about what causes it. Most men will gradually recover with treatment. This can take months or years. […] Some men with prostatitis find their symptoms return, which will require further treatment.

  It is difficult to give an outlook (prognosis). Your symptoms may last a long time, although they may 'come and go’ or vary in severity. Painkillers can keep discomfort to a minimum. […] Most men diagnosed with chronic prostatitis/CPPS tend to have an improvement in their symptoms over the following six months. In one study, about a third of men had no further symptoms one year later. In another large study, one third of men showed moderate to marked improvement over two years.

  These results show that many cases of CP are not diagnosed. CPS was more than twice as prevalent as DCP (3.7% vs 1.4%). Furthermore, the QOL of men with CP was much lower than the national norm in all domains. QOL was particularly low in the RP, SF, RE, and MH domains. […] Considering that more than 5% of the total adult male population may have CP, and that its impact on QOL appears to be substantial, CP imposes a serious health burden at the societal level. In relatively young, working-age men, CP’s largest effect on QOL is to impair their mental health and their role functioning. That is, CP lowers their productivity, which is to say that in addition to individual effects on individual patients CP also has a substantial economic impact on society. […] More than half of the participants with CPS were under 60 years old, and the largest gap between the prevalence of DCP and that of CPS was among men in their 30s. That is, CP seems to be seriously underdiagnosed in young men.

  Chronic prostatitis (CP) can impair health-related quality of life (QOL), but the full impact of CP, including the impact of CP-like symptoms in men who have no CP diagnosis (CPS), is unknown. […] QOL was very low among men with CP: In most areas (domains) of QOL, their scores were more than 0.5 standard deviation below the national-norm mean. Their mental-health scores were lower than those of men with BPH. The lowest scores among all 8 QOL domains were in role-functioning. […] The QOL of participants with CP, whether that CP had been diagnosed or was only suspected, was lower than that of the adult population of Japan as a whole. Also, on all eight domains of QOL except GH, the participants with CP had lower QOL than did those with BPH. It is noteworthy that with regard to role functioning and social functioning (i.e., RP, SF, and RE), the impact of CP on QOL was as strong as the impact of dialysis, and the impact of CP on MH scores was even stronger than the impact of dialysis.

  Chronic pelvic pain syndrome and prostatitis are long-term conditions in men. They are poorly understood, difficult to treat and cause a range of symptoms including pain, urinary problems, reduced quality of life and sexual dysfunction. […] Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) and chronic prostatitis are long-term conditions that are poorly understood, difficult to treat and for which there is currently no cure. As well as causing a range of disruptive symptoms including severe pain, erectile dysfunction and urinary and bowel problems that patients often find difficult to cope with, they can have a deleterious effect on an individuals psychological wellbeing. […] Prostatitis, which is a contributing factor to CPPS, is a set of symptoms thought to be caused by infection or inflammation of the prostate gland. It is common but poorly understood, and a significant burden in terms of physical symptoms, emotional distress and financial costs.

  The symptoms of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome include difficult and sometimes painful urination, discomfort or pain in the perineum, bladder, testicles and penis as well as difficult and painful ejaculation. In some cases, these symptoms can be indistinguishable from those described above for chronic bacterial prostatitis. […] Prostatitis is an extremely frustrating disease for both the patient and his physician. It can seriously affect a patient’s quality of life. The correct diagnosis of the prostatitis problem is difficult and it cannot always be cured. However, prostatitis is a treatable disease and one can usually get relief from major symptoms by following the recommended treatment. […] Most cases of acute bacterial prostatitis respond completely to therapy. Unfortunately, the treatment for the chronic prostatitis syndrome is far from perfect. Patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis can have persistence of their infectious problem despite antibiotic use. This is because of the difficulty antibiotics have in penetrating the prostate gland to completely kill all the bacteria deep within the prostatic ducts. Repetitive or frequent prostate massages or use of alpha blockers may be helpful in these cases. The patients who have had chronic bacterial prostatitis and have been cured are susceptible to recurrences. Many patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome fail therapy. The physician may employ a multi-modal approach to therapy (more than one treatment at a time). Patients may find that they have to learn to live, and cope with their symptoms while the inflammation hopefully „burns itself out.”

  Prostatitis is associated with inflammation (and or neural upregulation or sensitization), and in a few cases, infection of the prostate, causing pain in the prostate and pelvic area along with variable urinary symptoms. Acute bacterial prostatitis is rare, quite severe, relatively simple to diagnose, and quite easy to cure with antibiotics. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a little more difficult to diagnose, but is typically associated with a chronic bacterial infection of the prostate characterized by recurrent urinary tract infections. […] The majority of men with prostate and pelvic pain and urinary symptoms (over 90% of prostatitis diagnoses) do not have a bacterial infection and remain somewhat of a medical enigma. […] Worldwide, approximately 6-8% of men have experienced prostatitis like symptoms, and for at least a third of these men, it is a very significant health concern. It is the most common urology diagnosis in men less than 50 years of age and the third most common urology diagnosis in men over 50 years. The impact on a patients quality of life is significant because of the constant chronic pain and its effect on lifes activities.
