Epidemiology Identifying Chronic Prostatitis/ Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome for Epidemiologic Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 2010 American Urological Association’s annual meeting brought fewer studies of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain (CP/CPPS) than in the past. That’s because most NIH research funding for CP/CPPS is now going toward long-term studies aimed at uncovering the cause, and it will be some time before we hear about the results. Nevertheless, the 2010 meeting brought news of potential new treatment approaches and an epidemiologic surprise. In one large-scale survey, most men who had CP/CPPS symptoms did not have them five years later. The nine studies summarized here hold promise of better therapy to come for men with CP/CPPS.
