Prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome: What You Need to Know<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The urologists at New York Urology Specialists are experienced in caring for men with symptoms of “prostatitis,” including pelvic pain<\/a>, penile pain<\/a>, testicular pain<\/a>, and urinary problems<\/a>.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

We treat men with chronic pelvic pain syndrome,<\/a> acute prostatitis<\/a>, and chronic prostatitis symptoms<\/a><\/strong> using proven methods.  We also treat symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)<\/a> and Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS).<\/p>\n

Correct Diagnosis is the Key To Successful Treatment<\/h2>\n

The first step is to establish a correct diagnosis<\/strong>.  We fully evaluate each patient to elucidate the cause of their symptoms.  If an alternative diagnosis is found, that problem is addressed first. Examples of alternative diagnoses include urethral strictures, urinary tract infections, BPH and enlarged prostate, musculoskeletal causes, and many other diagnoses.<\/p>\n

We utilize a rational step-wise approach to prostatitis treatment.  <\/strong>The goal is to establish the cause of your symptoms. If you have prostatitis, we will determine whether you have acute prostatitis<\/a> or chronic prostatitis<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

A thorough diagnostic evaluation<\/strong> is a crucial step in treatment selection. Confirmation of the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis<\/a> involves a thorough evaluation to exclude other explanations<\/strong> and causes for symptoms of chronic prostatitis. These can be urinary tract infection<\/a>, prostate infection, prostate enlargement<\/a>, nerve entrapment, or musculoskeletal causes.<\/p>\n

Once a diagnosis is made, the symptoms are classified based on severity,<\/strong> and a step-wise approach to treatment is initiated<\/strong>.  The initial treatment selected is based on the most likely etiology<\/strong> and symptom patterns.  Typically, a few treatments will be tried over a period of time until an appropriate response to treatment is achieved.  This requires some patience.<\/p>\n

What to Expect<\/h2>\n

Our experienced urologists at New York Urology Specialists<\/a> offer a comprehensive evaluation of men with prostatitis, perineal pain, and pelvic pain symptoms<\/strong>. Many patients with pelvic pain also experience additional symptoms such as pelvic pressure and perineal discomfort<\/strong>. Some men experience prostate and penile pain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Many patients see a dramatic improvement in their symptoms after a few visits with our doctors.<\/p>\n

Many patients come to New York Urology Specialists after trying multiple treatment approaches and seeing dozens of doctors in the past.  Due to the complexity of the underlying condition in patients who have failed multiple treatment approaches in the past, a complete evaluation is necessary. Most patients will require multiple visits and need to try a few different approaches before we can establish the most effective approach to their individual needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We feel that it is important to set the expectations up front.<\/strong>  We are not magicians and cannot offer you all the answers during the first visit.  Many patients come to us after seeing multiple doctors and have had pain for months or years. We ask for your patience while we do our best to help you.  For many patients with long-standing pain, it takes at least a few months, multiple tests, and visits to select a treatment that works.<\/p>\n

It is also important to understand that the choice of treatment that will be offered to you is determined by the doctors<\/strong>.  The order of diagnostic tests and treatments is also determined by the doctor. While you will be given options and your voice is valued, there is no room for negotiations over medical decisions made by licensed physicians.  There is no \u00e0 la carte ordering of treatments or diagnostic tests unless medically necessary and appropriate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

About the Prostate Gland<\/h2>\n

\"male_reproductive_shutterstock_135930473\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The prostate<\/strong>, a part of the male reproductive system, is about the same size and shape as a walnut and weighs about an ounce. It is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum<\/strong> and surrounds the urethra, the tube-like structure that carries urine from the bladder out through the penis. The main function of the prostate is to produce ejaculatory fluid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Because of its location close to the rectum, inflammation of the prostate can also cause rectal symptoms and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Because of its location close to the bladder and surrounding the urethra<\/strong>, inflammation of the prostate often causes urinary symptoms such as slow urine stream, frequent urination, need to push to urinate, and pain during urination.<\/p>\n
