Pubertal chronic prostatitis (CP) primarily involves voiding disorders and pelvic floor dysfunction. Biofeedback therapy offers a satisfactory treatment for young males with CP, improving symptoms and urodynamic parameters.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Urology
  • Men's Health

Background:

  • Chronic prostatitis (CP) is uncommon in pubertal males.
  • Understanding CP's characteristics in adolescents is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical features of chronic prostatitis (CP) in pubertal males.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of biofeedback therapy for CP in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 40 patients, with 25 pubertal males diagnosed with CP (Group 1) and 15 controls (Group 2).
  • Assessment included the National Institute of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI), urine and prostatic secretion cultures, and urodynamic evaluations.
  • Group 1 received biofeedback treatment.

Main Results:

  • The predominant type of CP in pubertal males was NIH Type IIIB, characterized by voiding disorders.
  • Significant differences were observed in urodynamic parameters, including staccato voiding, detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), and detrusor pressures between groups.
  • Biofeedback treatment led to significant improvements in NIH-CPSI scores and Qmax in the CP group.

Conclusions:

  • Chronic prostatitis in puberty is mainly Type IIIB, with voiding dysfunction as a primary symptom.
  • Pubertal boys with CP exhibit pelvic floor dysfunction and abnormal urodynamic findings.
  • Biofeedback is an effective and satisfactory treatment modality for chronic prostatitis in pubertal males.
