Abstract
While diagnosing an acute prostatitis is usually no problem for the physician, the symptomatic of chronic forms of prostatitis allows no clear differential diagnosis between them. Only in 5 % of the patients with chronic prostatitis uropathogenic bacterias can be found. The most frequent treatment strategies in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome are antibiotics, alphablockers, and antiphlogistics.
