Chronic prostatitis: a psychosexual approach.
"Chronic prostatitis" unaccompanied by signs of active inflammatory disease is a psychosexual disturbance, not a bacteriological disease. Prostate massage, local therapy, and antibiotic therapy are usually of no therapeutic value; a careful history and evalution of the background and good social and psychiatric counseling are the only effective and rational means by which this so called "prostatitis" is controllable.
