What is chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome?
(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).

In 1999, the Research Guideline was presented by the NIH, and the Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Score (NIH; Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome Index; CPSI) was created and is being applied to determine the severity of chronic prostatitis and the effectiveness of treatment.

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.

◆患者さまの声
[ 30代男性・会社員 ]
数年前から、会陰部に続く不快感と灼熱感に悩まされてきました。
病院では「慢性前立腺炎」と診断され、薬も処方されましたが、症状は一進一退で、なかなか改善せず、不安な気持ちが募るばかりでした。
そんな中、インターネットでいろいろ調べていたところ、こちらの鍼灸院の院長先生が慢性前立腺炎に関する鍼灸治療の研究をされていることを知り、論文も読ませていただきました。
「自分の症状に正面から向き合ってくれる場所かもしれない」と感じ、思い切って来院しました。
最初は週1回のペースで4回施術を受けました。治療を受けるごとに、張りつめていた骨盤まわりの緊張が少しずつゆるみ、不快感の強さも徐々にやわらいできました。
今は、体調の波をみながら2〜3週間に1回のペースで通院を続けています。
このような症状は、なかなか人に話せず一人で抱え込んでしまいがちですが、こちらでは安心して話ができ、丁寧に診てもらえることがとても心強かったです。
まだ波はありますが、「少しでも楽になれた」という実感が持てたことが、大きな一歩だったと思います。
