It is a problem that occurs in men of all ages beginning in their 20's. Chronic Prostatitis is an inflammatory condition of the prostate, which, along with the other chronic pelvic pain syndromes, is both poorly understood and medically managed. Patients usually seek medical attention for pain, however there are a constellation of other widely varied symptoms including frequency of urination, burning or stinging on urination, rectal pressure, rectal pain and a sense of a fullness, lower back pain and urethral discharge with bowel movements.
Some patients describe genital and rectal throbbing sensations as well.
Additionally, sexual dysfunction and loss of libido are frequent accompaniments. Men suffering with Chronic Prostatitis are miserable. In the past, there have been few treatments other than antibiotics-which frequently yield no improvement. Most patients report having taken multiple courses of antibiotics with short lived benefits, if at all. Dietary supplements are not intended to treat prostatitis, their goal is to promote and maintain a healthy prostate.
