    A 13-year history of intermittent chronic prostatitis was traced to a foreign body in the prostatic urethra. This case highlights the importance of considering foreign bodies in persistent prostatitis evaluations.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Chronic prostatitis presents a diagnostic challenge, often with prolonged symptom duration.
    • Etiologies for chronic prostatitis are diverse, including infectious and non-infectious causes.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a 13-year history of intermittent chronic prostatitis.
    • Diagnostic evaluation identified a foreign body within the prostatic urethra.

    Findings:

    • The prostatic urethral foreign body was determined to be the underlying cause of the patient's chronic prostatitis symptoms.
    • This finding underscores a rare but significant etiology for persistent lower urinary tract symptoms.

    Implications:

    • Foreign body detection in the prostatic urethra can resolve chronic prostatitis.
