Prostatitis

Assessment of Sexual Function in Relation to Microbiological Findings in Patients with Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis.

Background/Objectives: Patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) often present symptoms of sexual dysfunction. We aimed to evaluate the impact of the infection location and etiology on sexual dysfunction in patients with CBP.

Long-term effects of pelvic floor training in male chronic pelvic pain, correlation between subjective and objective outcomes: a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Chronic primary pelvic pain syndrome (CPPPS) is a condition characterised by pain in the pelvic area together with lower urinary tract symptoms. Pathophysiology remains largely unclear. Common treatment modalities show unsatisfactory results.

Pathogen Detection and Diagnostic Scenarios in Chronic Prostatitis.

Background/Objectives: Chronic prostatitis (CP) is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including pelvic pain, urinary disturbances, and sexual dysfunction, often without clear signs of infection, which complicates its diagnosis.

The Effects of Xialiqi Capsules in Regulating the Pyroptosis of Prostate Epithelial Cells Via NLRP3/Caspase-1 Pathway for the Treatment of Chronic Prostatitis.

Chronic prostatitis (CNP) is a prevalent inflammatory disorder among men. The Xialiqi capsule has been reported to alleviate the clinical symptoms of CNP patients, which may be related to its anti-inflammatory effect; yet, its exact mechanism of action remains unclear.

The characteristics of brain function alterations in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome across varying symptom severities evaluated by NIH-CPSI.

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a prevalent condition in urology characterized by chronic pain. The pathogenesis of CP/CPPS remains unclear.

We enrolled 45 eligible CP/CPPS patients and 45 healthy volunteers.

The "prostate-pelvic syndrome" theory used in patients with type-III prostatitis and its correlation with prostate volume.

Type-III prostatitis is the most common prostate disease in adult males below 40 years old. The actual operation of its diagnosis process is cumbersome. Recently, a group of top Chinese urologists have proposed the theory of "prostate-pelvic syndrome (PPS)" and suggested using it to replace the traditional term for type-III prostatitis.

Safety and efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy on chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) over an 8-week period in individuals diagnosed with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) compared to a control group.

Safety and Efficacy of Intra-Prostatic Injection of Betamethasone for Refractory Chronic Nonbacterial Prostatitis: A Prospective Cohort Clinical Study.

We aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of TRUS guided betamethasone injections in refractory cases of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis.

Forty-five patients with refractory CNP were included in a prospective cohort clinical trial.

Multi-pharmacological treatment for young subfertile males with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) treatments using multiple pharmaceutical agents that could simultaneously preserve or enhance fertility capability.

GNLY as a novel cis-eQTL and cis-pQTL mediated susceptibility gene in suppressing prostatitis. Mendelian randomization study.

Prostatitis is characterized by high prevalence, low cure rates, and frequent recurrences, and remains one of the most clinically challenging problems. Hence, in this article, we first integrated Mendelian randomization (MR) with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) data to identify novel therapeutic targets and their potential metabolic mechanisms for prostatitis.
