Chronic Prostatitis is a condition characterized by long-term pain and discomfort in the pelvic area, particularly in the prostate gland. It can cause symptoms such as pain or burning during urination, pain in the lower back, genital area, or between the scrotum and anus, and frequent urges to urinate. The exact cause of chronic prostatitis is often unknown, but it is thought to be related to an infection, an inflammation of the prostate, or a nerve problem. Treatment options include antibiotics, pain relievers, and lifestyle changes, and the condition can often be managed with proper medical care.
