(CPPS; Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome)
top＞ Treatment information ＞ Acupuncture report ＞ chronic prostatitis
The exact cause of chronic prostatitis is unknown.
It is said to be more common among men in their 30s to 40s who are in their prime of work.
It is thought that the reason for this is that prolonged sitting at a desk or driving a car causes poor blood flow in the pelvis. It is also believed that psychological stress is also involved.
Let's take a closer look at chronic prostatitis!
chronic prostatitisSymptoms vary widely, with many people complaining of pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, glans, scrotum, pubic bone, pelvis, and inner thigh.
In 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposed a new classification of prostatitis.Chronic prostatitis without proven bacterial infection is classified as Category III-B, and is classified as chronic non-bacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(choronic non-bacterial prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome).

Thank you for your question, Elle!
Patients who can receive my treatment for this symptom are:Although drug therapy was performed under the diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain syndrome, no improvement was seen.” Many people come to the hospital. For these patients, we have conducted extensive research on lower urinary tract disorders such as chronic pelvic pain syndrome, overactive bladder, and interstitial cystitis. I will briefly explain how to do this below!
[Treatment area]
●Area used: Pudendal nerve acupuncture point
The location of the pudendal nerve acupuncture point is on the line connecting the posterior superior iliac spine and the lower medial edge of the ischial tuberosity, 50 to 60% from the cranial side. By stimulating this place,It is effective in improving the pain and discomfort symptoms of chronic pelvic pain syndrome and interstitial cystitis.
