Abstract

Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common and persistent urological pain condition often accompanied by lower urinary tract and sexual dysfunction symptomatology, and currently of indeterminate etiology.The condition presently lacks effective and satisfactory treatment options.Studies that have explored the characteristic symptoms and ways of coping in men diagnosed with CP/CPPS report that they experience substantial physical and psychological problems, particularly in the realms of depression, anxiety, quality of life, perceived stress, physiological stress reactivity, and pain catastrophizing.
