abstract: Prostatitis is classified according to the National Institute of Health Prostatitis Classification. The term Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) covers the symptomathology and clinical findings. The main symptoms are pain and voiding disorders. Acute bacterial prostatitis is only seen in 5% of cases. The vast majority of symptoms are found in CPPS, and urodynamic investigation is crucial in order to identify bladder neck dysfunction which occurs in a considerable number of patients.
