Abstract:
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) represents a prevalent condition within the male genitourinary system. CP/CPPS occurs in men of varying ages, with an increasing recurrence rate associated with advancing age. The pathogenesis of CP/CPPS remains unclear, and clinical treatment typically focuses on symptom management with limited efficacy, resulting in significant economic and psychological burdens for patients. Research has increasingly identified several factors potentially associated with the development of CP/CPPS, including lifestyle, psychosocial influences, neuroendocrine elements, and other variables. This paper reviews recent studies on the risk factors and etiological mechanisms of CP/CPPS to enhance understanding of its mechanisms, providing a reference framework for future basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment.
