title: [Chronic prostatitis: a new paradigm of treatment].
abstract: This paper proposes health care recommendations for men with chronic prostatitis (CP) taking into account etiopathogenesis and the clinical presentation of the disease. The proposal is based on the experience of federal and regional clinics of urology and gynecology, respective departments for postgraduate education and on the analysis of scientific literature. It is shown that managing patients with CP requires consideration of factors beyond the traditional practice of urology. The author validates the need to use the modern prostatitis classification UPOINT instead of the traditional NIH NIDDK (1995) to increase the effectiveness of treatment. It is demonstrated that the concurrent use of medications and non-pharmacological treatments aimed at different aspects of the state improve the treatment effectiveness. Indications are refined for medical and non-pharmacological treatments: antibiotics, alpha-blockers, anticholinergic agents, analgesics, antidepressants, herbal remedies, pelvic floor physiotherapy, psychotherapy. The shortcomings and mistakes of existing guidelines/standards are analyzed.
