    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pathology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Chronic prostatitis (CP) is a common urological condition in adult males.
    • Accurate diagnosis and identification of underlying causes are crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the etiology and associated pathologies in a cohort of adult males diagnosed with chronic prostatitis.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic yield of various investigations in suspected CP cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Stamey localization techniques
    • Psychological questionnaires
    • Urine flow studies
    • Cysto-urethroscopy
    • Prostatic biopsy
    • Transurethral prostatectomy

    Main Results:

    • Bacterial prostatitis was diagnosed in 50% of patients, with Staphylococcus albus and common urinary pathogens identified.
    • Significant non-bacterial pathologies found in 25%, including chronic cystitis with subsequent bladder carcinoma development, unsuspected strictures, and poor flow rates.
    • Neuroticism was significantly higher in patients with negative investigations compared to other groups and controls.

    Conclusions:

    • Bacterial infection is a major contributor to chronic prostatitis, necessitating targeted antimicrobial therapy.
    • A significant proportion of chronic prostatitis cases harbor other significant pathologies, underscoring the need for comprehensive diagnostic workup.
    • Psychological factors, such as neuroticism, may play a role in patients with negative etiological findings.
