Chronic pelvic pain in men is persistent or recurring pain in the pelvic area that can last for several months. There may be several causes for such pain, often requiring a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment.
The main causes of chronic pelvic pain in men may include:
- Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate gland, which can be bacterial or non-bacterial in nature.
- Muscle spasms: From muscles surrounding the pelvic area.
- Neurological causes: Such as damage or inflammation of nerves in the pelvic region.
- Bladder problems: Including interstitial cystitis.
- Psychological factors: Stress and other psychological issues can also exacerbate pelvic pain.
Treatment for chronic pelvic pain in men will depend on the specific cause but may involve:
- Medication such as antibiotics, alpha-blockers, anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Physiotherapy aimed at relieving muscle tension.
- Psychotherapy to address the psychological aspects of pain.
- Lifestyle and dietary changes.
