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.
