Patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP/Cat.II) exhibit reduced urinary flowmetry parameters compared to healthy individuals. These voiding dysfunctions in CBP/Cat.II may correlate with symptom duration.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP/Cat.II) is a common condition affecting men.
  • Understanding its impact on lower urinary tract symptoms is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate urinary flowmetry parameters, bladder capacity, and postvoiding residual volume (PVR) in patients with CBP/Cat.II.
  • To compare these parameters with healthy controls and patients with prostatodynia/chronic pelvic pain (CPP/Cat.IIIB).

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 42 patients diagnosed with CBP/Cat.II.
  • Utilized the NIH categorization of prostatitis syndromes.
  • Included clinical evaluation, the four-glass test, microscopy, culture, flowmetry, and PVR measurements.

  • Compared results with age-matched healthy males and patients with CPP/Cat.IIIB.

    • Main Results:

    • CBP/Cat.II patients showed significantly lower maximum flow rate (Qmax), average flow rate (Qave), and voided volume (Vura) compared to normal controls.
    • Flowmetry parameters in CBP/Cat.II were similar to those in CPP/Cat.IIIB patients.
    • A subset of CBP/Cat.II patients with Qmax < 15 ml/s experienced a significantly longer duration of symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • CBP/Cat.II is associated with significantly impaired urinary flowmetry compared to healthy individuals.
    • Voiding dysfunction in CBP/Cat.II patients may contribute to prolonged symptom duration.
    • Flowmetry findings in CBP/Cat.II align with those observed in CPP/Cat.IIIB, suggesting potential overlap in voiding issues.
