Which conditions should be distinguished from chronic prostatitis

Condition analysis:
Several disorders of the pelvic region can lead to symptoms similar to those of chronic prostatitis. In particular, the symptoms of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome largely overlap with those of chronic prostatitis.

Conditions with symptoms similar to those of chronic prostatitis include acute infections, such as acute bacterial prostatitis, prostatic abscess, and STIs; and obstructive pathologies, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, bladder cancer, calculi, and foreign body.6 Because CBP and CNP/CPPS have similar presentations, the same differential diagnosis should be considered.

Urine cytologies and/or cystoscopy to exclude bladder cancer should be performed in patients with hematuria and risk factors for bladder cancer (e.g., smoking, age older than 40 years). Bladder cancer is diagnosed in about 1% of patients referred for persistent chronic prostatitis.

The symptoms of chronic prostatitis and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome overlap so extensively that they are now being studied under the umbrella term of urologic CPPS. Both conditions should be considered in patients presenting with pelvic pain.

2. Watermelon seeds: Seeds of watermelon contain certain vital unsaturated fatty acids, which helps maintain pH level in of the urinary tract and bladder which is essential for maintaining a healthy prostrate. Watermelon seeds are recommended as a natural cure for Prostatitis.
