How To Address the Symptoms of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

Header Cap
  • Reassurance and explanation are sometimes helpful. Some people worry that they may have a serious disease such as prostate cancer. Worry and anxiety can make symptoms worse. Therefore, it may be useful to know that you have chronic pelvic pain syndrome and not some other disease. However, you will have to accept that pain or discomfort is likely to persist.
  • Painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may ease the pain. Painkillers can keep discomfort to a minimum.
  • Antibiotics. A four week course may be advised. This is to be absolutely sure that no infection is present. Tests for bacteria are not 100% foolproof, so it may seem sensible to treat a possible infection even though urine tests for infection are negative. There is a small chance that antibiotics will help.

Various other ways to address CPPS have been tried. They may benefit some people, but so far there are few research studies to confirm whether they help in most cases. They are not 'standard' or routine ways to address CPPS, but a specialist may advise that you try one. They include the following:

  • Alpha-blockers are medicines that are used to treat prostate enlargement. They relax the muscle tissue of the prostate and the outlet of the bladder. There are several different brands. There is some evidence that they help in chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and one may be worth a try.
  • Other medicines such as allopurinol and finasteride (a medicine which may 'shrink' the prostate).
  • Removal of the prostate (prostatectomy) may be considered if you have small stones (calculi) in the prostate. It is not clear how much this may help. Your specialist will advise.
  • Other surgical techniques to the prostate. For example, prostatic thermotherapy. This involves heating the prostate. The theory is that this may help clear inflammation of the prostate, or affect nerve fibers that may be the cause of the pain. Again, it is not clear how much this may help.
  • Stress management and other pain relieving techniques are sometimes tried to help cope with the persistent pain.
