Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (or CP/CPPS) is a pelvic pain without evidence of urinary tract infection
The symptoms usually reported can be from slight discomfort to debilitating and may include back pain, fatigue, abdominal pain, constant burning pain in the penis. A frequent sign of CP/CPPS is post-ejaculatory pain.
A study, published in a serious journal and indexed in PubMed (the top quality database), has just been published on the effects on osteopathy on this condition. They followed patients for 5 years in order to compare the symptoms evolution with and without osteopathy. Osteopathy has been found to be helpful for CP/CPPS and osteopathic treatments effects last for at least 5 years. They recommend that patients should be offered osteopathic treatments at an early stage of the condition.
