Abstract
|
|
|
|
Male chronic pelvic pain syndrome (MCPPS) is defined as chronic pain, pressure, or discomfort localized to the pelvis, perineum, or genitalia of males lasting more than 3 months that is not due to readily explainable causes. Other names for the disorder include prostatodynia and chronic nonbacterial (abacterial) prostatitis, although it is unclear how the symptoms relate to the prostate. And it appears to be extensive variability in clinical presentation and may result in chronic neuropathic pain and neuromuscular pain. Therefore patients with MCPPS should be cared by multimodal treatment including antihyperalgesics, antidepressants and pain intervention procedures such as caudal block. We report successful care in two men with MCPPS.
