Inquires to sexual practices such as of fellatio and others contribute in the assessment of risk factors. Take note that in some medical literatures throat organisms has been blamed to cause prostatitis with the concept that these organisms reach the prostate hematogenously. I find this rather difficult to accept for obvious reasons. By assessing risk factors we should be able to determine the harmful agents that came into contact with the susceptible host. Sub-clinical ascending infection is by far the most logical reason.
Symptoms improve, only to recurr.
The regular sexual partner was left ignored. It took more than 10 years of debate whether or not this organism is pathogenic. It is not unusual to find an unsuspecting CP patient with a scanty clear mucoid urethral discharge. The prostate gland is often congested with an increased volume of prostatic fluid that is cloudy in character. We also learn from previous patients that the collection of specimen in most cases are done by technicians and not by the physician.
