Functional and Structural Characteristics of the Pelvic Floor in Patients with Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS)
CP/CPPS is characterized by increased pelvic floor muscle excitability, reduced coordination, and pronounced somatic and psychological symptom burden, without significant global structural abnormalities. The Glazer sEMG protocol may help identify characteristic pelvic floor abnormalities, while the PSSS offers valuable insights into psychological symptomatology.
