Nonbacterial Prostatitis

Nonbacterial prostatitis is a persistent inflammation or discomfort in the area of the prostate and pelvis in which no bacterial infection is identified as the cause. It is also known as chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Common symptoms: discomfort or pain in the pelvis, the genitals or when urinating, as well as changing sensations that can come and go over time.

When to seek care? When urinary or pelvic discomfort lasts a long time or affects daily life, it is advisable to discuss it in a consultation to rule out other causes.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who studies and follows up on nonbacterial prostatitis. Since its symptoms can be confused with other conditions, the most helpful thing is to have the case assessed by a professional who can provide individualized guidance.
