Successful management of chronic pelvic pain syndrome in male through Yoga therapy - A case report

Pain in the pelvic region that lasts for 3–6 months or more is commonly referred to as chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). The pain may be incapacitating and episodic or it may be persistent. The patient’s life may be severely disrupted and greatly distressed by these symptoms. A 46-year-old male with CPPS came to the Yoga outpatient department for Yoga therapy (YT). Although he had taken medicines for a long time, the issue was not resolved. We started YT for 6 months. At the end of the intervention, the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index score was reduced significantly from the baseline total score of 38–3, pain score of 18–2, voiding problem from 19 to 0, and a negative impact on the quality of life of 11–1. As a result, the patient had emotional well-being, reduced pain syndrome, and improved quality of life.
