Where do we stand with chronic prostatitis? An update.
Chronic prostatitis remains a difficult management problem, which reflects the fact that its aetiology remains incompletely understood. It is a common condition that is characterized by protracted symptoms and high morbidity. Although lacking a reliable diagnostic test, antibiotic therapy remains the mainstay of treatment in the majority of cases.
