Male UCPPS is NOT Prostatitis - Jeannette Potts
April 10, 2019
Jeannette Potts discusses her work within the field of pelvic pain and specifically men suffering from urological chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS) and how it is commonly misdiagnosed. Jeannette stresses the need to think beyond the prostatitis classification system and instead consider pelvic pain symptoms and its multiple causes and contributors. In addition, she reviews the categorization of pelvic pain and the importance of two corroborative localization cultures before antibiotics based on The Giessen Consensus. Jeannette also discusses the important factors to look for in regards to the patient’s life style, bowel movements and sexual habitats.
