Antibiotic treatment can delay ejaculation in patients with premature ejaculation and chronic bacterial prostatitis. (J Sex Med. 2007)

Association between past urinary tract infections and current symptoms suggestive of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. (J Natl Med Assoc. 2007)

Chronic abacterial prostatitis and cold exposure. (Scand J Urol Nephrol. 2007)

[Epidemiology and treatment of acute prostatitis after prostatic biopsy] (Prog Urol. 2007) "OBJECTIVE: Acute prostatitis is the main complication of prostatic biopsies (PB) and sometimes requires hospitalisation and appropriate antibiotic therapy. This study evaluated the pathogens responsible and proposes a statistically adapted empirical antibiotic therapy."

Epidemiology of prostatitis. (Int J Antimicrob Agents. 2007) “BACKGROUND: Prostatitis describes a combination of infectious diseases (acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis), chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and asymptomatic inflammation. … A history of sexually transmitted diseases was associated with an increased risk for prostatitis symptoms. Men reporting a history of prostatitis symptoms had a substantially increased rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms and prostate cancer.”

Examination of the Relationship Between Symptoms of Prostatitis and Histological Inflammation: Baseline Data From the REDUCE Chemoprevention Trial. (J Urol. 2007) "CONCLUSIONS: A lack of clinically meaningful association was found between prostatitis-like pain symptoms and histological inflammation in the Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events population, suggesting that the view that symptoms of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and prostate inflammation are associated needs further scrutiny."

Fruit and vegetable consumption, intake of micronutrients, and benign prostatic hyperplasia in US men (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2007) "Conclusion:Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that a diet rich in vegetables may reduce the occurrence of BPH."

Incidence and significance of prostatic stones in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. (Urology. 2007)

Inflammation and Chronic Prostatic Diseases: Evidence for a Link? (Eur Urol. 2007)

Introduction to chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). (Arch Ital Urol Androl. 2007) "Prostatitis is the most frequently diagnosed illness in men under 50, accounting for about 8% of all consultations with urologists. Estimates based on published studies suggest that the incidence of prostatitis in the population is somewhere between 4% and 11%. … Cigarette smoking, high caloric diet with low consumption of fruit and vegetables, constipation, meteorism, slow digestion, sexual relationship with more than one partner and coitus interruptus were more likely in CP/CPPS patients than in controls (p < 0.001). CP/CPPS had a negative influence on sexual desire, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation (p < 0.001)."

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus prostatitis. (Urology. 2007)

Muscle Tenderness in Men With Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome: The Chronic Prostatitis Cohort Study. (J Urol. 2007)

Painful ejaculation. (BJU Int. 2007)

Pelvic tenderness is not limited to the prostate in chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) type IIIA and IIIB: comparison of men with and without CP/CPPS. (BMC Urol. 2007)

Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Prostatitis: Population Based Assessment Using Physician Assigned Diagnoses. (J Urol. 2007)

Prevalence of sexual dysfunction in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. (Arch Ital Urol Androl. 2007)

Prostatitis. (J Urol. 2007)

[Prostatitis syndrome : Prostatitis syndrome.] (Urologe A. 2007)

The Relationship between Prostate Inflammation and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: Examination of Baseline Data from the REDUCE Trial. (Eur Urol. 2007) "CONCLUSIONS: In the REDUCE population, there is evidence of a relationship between the degree of LUTS and the degree of chronic inflammation."

The Role of Chlamydia trachomatis in Prostatitis Syndrome - Our Experience in Diagnosis and Treatment. (Acta Dermatovenerol Croat. 2007) "These findings additionally suggest that C. trachomatis can be suspected as a causative pathogen in all categories of chronic prostatitis syndrome."

The role of inflammation and infection in the pathogenesis of prostate carcinoma. (BJU Int. 2007) "Summarising these epidemiological, genetic and cell biological aspects, infectious prostatitis might have a causative role in the complex and multifactorial process of prostate carcinogenesis."

[Zinc levels in prostatic fluid of patients with prostate pathologies] (Invest Clin. 2007) "The low zinc concentrations obtained in patients with prostatitis and prostate cancer, in contrast to the control group, led us to consider the possibility of recommending zinc supplements as a coadjuvant therapy in patients with prostatitis and also, to use zinc measurements as another diagnostic tool, for cases in which it is necessary to differentiate benign prostatic hyperplasia from prostate cancer."
