Overview

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is the most common urological condition in men under 50, affecting 8-15% of all male adults. It causes persistent or recurrent pelvic pain (perineum, lower abdomen, lower back, genitals), urinary symptoms (frequency, urgency, painful urination), and sexual dysfunction—all of which severely impair quality of life and mental health.
