Beschreibung

Cutting-edge research has led to advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis, a group of conditions that is at once extremely common, poorly understood, and inadequately treated. This book provides the most current information on the four categories of prostatitis: acute, chronic bacterial, CPPS and asymptomatic inflammation. Offering the reader with novel approaches to helping their patients, it features a diverse international group of contributors that includes Urologists, scientists, psychologists, and pain specialists from the National Institutes of Health. Coverage details general evaluation of the prostatitis patient, the approach to acute prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, evidence behind individual therapies and ancillary topics such as erectile dysfunction, infertility, the link between chronic prostatitis and prostate cancer, male interstitial cystitis and the potential etiologic role of calcifying nanoparticles.
