Association of voiding dysfunction among men Less than 45 years of age diagnosed as Chronic non bacterial prostatitis

Abstract

Chronic non bacterial prostatitis has been attributed to several etiologies, including viral and inflammatory causes as well as bladder outlet obstruction and abnormalities of the pelvic floor muscles. Unfortunately, there is a significant rate of recurrent symptoms, which suggests that many patients who are treated empirically for presumed chronic non-bacterial prostatitis may have a different and multifactorial underling mechanism for the cause of the symptoms. Is there any voiding dysfunction associated with chronic non bacterial prostatitis or not. Our study was performed to answer this question. In this senes we studied 30 patients with non bacterial prostatitis from December 1996 to December 1998 (diagnosed by clinical and bacteriological studies) were subjected to: • 1-Clinical assessment. 2-Complete urine analysis. 3-Stamey's localization test. 4-Plain urinary tract. 5-Intravenous pyelography in some patients. . 6-Urodynamic study including:• A-Uroflowmetry. B- Cystometry.
