Advancements in the management of urologic chronic pelvic pain: what is new and what do we know?
Prostatitis is one of the most common urologic diagnoses in men of all ages. The etiology of this problem remains poorly understood. No uniform solitary treatment is known for chronic prostatitis. As a result, a multimodal approach is most likely to demonstrate benefit for this disease. Various treatment modalities have included the use of both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments. In addition, multiple interventional techniques including the injection of botulinum toxin, transurethral needle ablation of the prostate, microwave thermotherapy, neuromodulation, and, most recently, extracorporeal shockwave therapy have been utilized with varying degrees of benefit.
