Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS)

How is it treated?

Treatment varies from man to man – just like CPPS does. The treatments will help to control your symptoms and might even get rid of your CPPS completely. But CPPS could return weeks, months or even years later. You may have to try a few things until you find something that works well for you. You’ll probably try more than one of the following:

medicines

counselling

exercises and physical activity

treatment for pain

other treatments.

Each person will respond to treatments differently. If one doesn’t work, you should be able to try something else. Your treatment may be managed by your GP or by a urologist at the hospital. You may also see a specialist nurse, or a sexual health specialist.

Medicines

There is some evidence that certain medicines can help improve prostatitis symptoms. Your GP or urologist may prescribe one or a combination of the following medicines. Alpha-blockers . There is some evidence that alpha-blockers, such as tamsulosin (Flomaxtra®, Diffundox®, Flomax Relief®, Pinexel®, Stronazon®), help improve urinary symptoms for some men, particularly a weak or slow flow, and pain. If they aren’t helping after four to six weeks, you will usually stop taking them. .

If they aren’t helping after four to six weeks, you will usually stop taking them. Antibiotics . Even though CPPS isn’t usually caused by a bacterial infection, there is a little evidence that antibiotics might help control symptoms in some men. This might be because they treat an infection that hasn’t been found by the tests. Or it might be because they help reduce inflammation. .

Your doctor or a pharmacist can recommend ones that are suitable for you. Other medicines to relieve pain. Medicines used for other conditions can also be used to treat prostatitis pain. You might be offered anti-depressants (such as amitriptyline) to treat long-term prostatitis pain – some men with prostatitis find these helpful. All medicines carry a risk of side effects. Ask your doctor for more information about the different treatments, and whether they might be suitable for you.

Names of medicines

Medicines often have two different names – a scientific or generic name and a brand name. For example, the alpha-blocker tablet tamsulosin is the scientific or generic name for the drug. Flomaxtra® and Diffundox® are examples of different brand names. The brand name is given to the drug by the company that makes it. Ask your doctor or nurse if you have any questions about your medicines, or speak to our Specialist Nurses.

Studies suggest there is a link between CPPS and how you’re feeling, so your doctor might refer you to a counsellor or psychologist. They are trained to listen and can help you understand your feelings and find ways to deal with them. Some men find this helpful. In particular, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help men find ways to deal with prostatitis. CBT focuses on your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes and how these can affect what you do and how you feel. It involves talking with a therapist who will help you come up with practical ways to change any patterns of behaviour or ways of thinking that may be causing you problems. You can refer yourself for counselling on the NHS, or you could see a private counsellor. To find out more, visit the NHS website or contact the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.
