Abstract:
OBJECTIVESThe National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) was used to determine the chronic prostatitis syndrome in young men (from 20 to 48 years old) of clinical validity.
METHODS227 patients with chronic prostatitis syndrome (CPS)/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and 32 patients with BPH were randomized to study using NIH-CPSI.
RESULTS1. The main manifestations of CPS patients were pain or uncomfort. Those were more common in CPS than BPH. 2. 79.30% CPS patients had a sensation of not emptying bladder completely after finished urinating, 44.93% patients had to urinate again less than two hours after finished urinating. 3. 51.51% patients with CPS have more effect on work, 90.31% patients on free life, and 68.72% patients on quality of life than BPH.
