This book provides readers with access to information that is easy to understand about prostatitis and related conditions such as prostate enlargement, prostate cancer, sexual dysfunction, and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. It also empowers readers with accurate knowledge so that they can adjust their lifestyles in order to improve their overall quality of life. There is a lot of information about this subject all over the internet in chat groups, blogs, and articles, and although it is easy to access and predominantly free, unfortunately a lot of this information is misleading or false. As a result, many men develop severe anxieties and suffer enormous stress, which diminishes their quality of life, triggers family discord and negatively affects their ability to work. So, in this book the author has compiled scientific based knowledge and personal experience of having treated hundreds of patients over the last 20 years to bring you a comprehensive source of information where patients can get as many answers as possible in order to minimize stress and fear of the unknown.

Chronic Prostatitis is a common and debilitating condition affecting 5-12% of men worldwide. The most common form is category III, or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. Cutting-edge clinical research has led to advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis, a group of conditions that is at once extremely common, poorly understood, inadequately treated and under-researched. In Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome, the author provides today’s most current information covering the four categories of prostatitis (acute, chronic bacterial, CPPS and asymptomatic inflammation). A diverse international group of contributors that includes urologists (academic, primary care and front line private practice), scientists, psychologists, and pain specialists from the National Institutes of Health provide the reader with novel approaches to helping their patients. The chapters in this important new work cover general evaluation of the prostatitis patient, the approach to acute prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, evidence behind individual therapies and ancillary topics such as erectile dysfunction, infertility, the link between chronic prostatitis and prostate cancer, male interstitial cystitis and the potential etiologic role of calcifying nanoparticles. Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome offers novel approaches to diagnosing this condition as well as providing ways in which to ease the suffering of the patient with prostatitis.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the current and emerging management of prostatitis, from diagnosis to therapy. It addresses all clinical aspects of the prostatitis syndrome and equips the reader with all the information needed to offer a tailored therapy. Furthermore, clinical implications of the disease are analyzed and discussed, with particular attention to andrological complications (infertility) and the possible link between prostatitis and prostate cancer. Special consideration is also given to contemporary aspects of prostatitis management relating to antibiotic stewardship and elevated PSA, bearing in mind that thoughtless treatment of prostatitis represents malpractice and sometimes even a forensic issue. The final chapter comprising questions and answers will be valuable for quick consultation in everyday clinical practice. This book will be a truly practical guide for physicians involved in the diagnostic work-up and treatment of patients suspected of having prostatitis and will also serve as a ready source of information for all physicians who occasionally see prostatitis patients.

The prostate is pivotal in a man’s sexual health. A prostate free of infection and other preventable problems is vital to a healthy and happy sex life. The sex life of his partner is similarly ensured to be happy and contented. It assumes that the partner takes every precaution to be healthy as well. Love is the best foundation on which to build happiness. And a love partnership is the most valuable asset in a relationship. The prostate however is only one item, perhaps the central one, in the male sexual armamentarium. It complains the most when it is not healthy. A healthy prostate will reward both partners with the greatest sexual happiness available in this mortal life.
