title: Prostatitis: evolving management strategies.
abstract: Concepts regarding the etiology, diagnosis, and management of prostatitis have changed more in the last 3 years than they have in the last 3 decades. Urologists (and all physicians) no longer need to avoid patients with this disease. It is hoped that the new management strategies that are evolving will eventually benefit the majority of patients sustaining prostatitis.
