摘要

Aim Chronic prostatitis (CP) and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a common disabling condition that is primarily associated with pain in the urogenital region and disturbances in urinary and sexual function. Chronic pelvic pain symptoms are the most common presentation, especially perineal, lower abdominal, testicular, penile as well as ejaculatory pain. Other genitourinary tract complaints include voiding disorders and sexual dysfunction. We aimed in the study at examining the prevalence rates of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction in patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome and comparing these rates with those of healthy control subjects.
