Objective:
To study the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS).
Methods:
According to National Institute Health (NIH) classification, 165 cases of chronic prostatitis were surveyed by analysis of their laboratory results and clinical history. In addition, the chronic prostatitis symptom index (CPSI) of each patient was evaluated. All patients were treated for 6 to 8 weeks, type III A with antibiotics and alpha1 receptor inhibitor, type III B with alpha1 receptor inhibitor, diazepam diclogenatis and other narcotics. All cases were additionally treated by psychological and physical therapies. Traditional Chinese Medicine was also used in some cases.
Results:
Based on the results of CPSI after 6 weeks treatment, 121 (73.3%) significantly improved, 26 (15.8%) slightly improved and only 18(10.9%) did not respond to the therapy.
Conclusion:
Combined therapy can be an effective treatment for the chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
