Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is very
common pathology that is characterized by pain in
the perineum, pelvis, supra pubic area, or the
external genitalia, with variable degrees of voiding
or ejaculatory disturbance. The etiology of disorder
is controversial with groups postulating infections,
autoimmune, inflammatory and neuromascular
mechanism. CPPS is the most commonurologic
diagnosisin men younger than 50 years and the
third most common urologic diagnosis in men
older than 50 years after benign prostate
hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Although high
incidence rate, the etiology and pathophysiology of
the disease are still poor.
