title: Genitourinary pain syndromes, prostatitis, and lower urinary tract symptoms.
abstract: The overlap of pain and urinary voiding symptoms is common for urologic patients. The etiology of these syndromes is frequently multifactorial and due to disorders of the bladder and/or prostate. The evaluation and treatment of these syndromes continues to evolve. Here we summarize the general approach to evaluation and treatment of these pain syndromes.
