“…The index has been shown to be reliable, with validated versions in different countries. Results from numerous studies indicate that the NIH-CPSI total score, but not the subscales, show high internal consistency and can evaluate the severity of current symptoms and may be used as an outcome measure to evaluate the longitudinal course of symptoms with time or treatment [12,13].…”

“…One condition that affects sexuality in men is Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS). With a prevalence rate of 2-16% in North American males and 3-14% among Asian and European males, CP/CPPS is a urological condition characterized by pain in the pelvic region, and concomitant sexual and voiding dysfunction (e.g., Alexander, 1999;Krieger, Riley, Cheah, Liong, & Yuen, 2003;Lobel & Rodriguez, 2003;Rizzo, Marchetti, Travaglini, Trinchieri, & Nickel, 2003;Roberts et al, 2002;Schneider, Wilbrandt, Ludwig, Beutel, & Weidner, 2005). Patients with CP/CPPS may perceive pain in a variety of locations, including the external genitalia, perineum, or suprapubic area, and may experience pain during intercourse, after intercourse, or upon ejaculation (Berghuis, Heiman, Rothman, & Berger, 1996;Egan & Krieger, 1994;Lobel & Rodriguez, 2003;Nickel et al, 1998;Shoskes et al, 2004).…”

This study compared the sexual and relationship functioning of 38 male patients with Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) to that of their female partners, and of both the men and women in these couples to those in 37 control couples. Male sexual function was also examined as a predictor of partner sexual function. In comparison to control males, the men with CP/CPPS reported significantly more sexual dysfunction and symptoms of depression. Furthermore, symptoms of depression mediated the relationship between some aspects of sexual function and male participant status as a patient or control. However, men with CP/CPPS did not report significantly decreased sexual satisfaction or relationship functioning compared to controls. Partners of men with CP/CPPS reported significantly more pain upon intercourse, vaginismus, and depressive symptoms when compared to control females. In addition, patients with CP/CPPS and their partners did not differ significantly from each other with regard to sexual functioning and satisfaction, relationship functioning, and symptoms of depression. Patient sexual functioning significantly predicted female partner sexual functioning. This study was the first to evaluate partners of men with CP/CPPS. Patients and partners in this study reported lower levels of sexual functioning in some domains, yet were comparable to control couples on measures of satisfaction and relationship functioning. Furthermore, the sexual and relationship functioning of patients and partners was significantly associated. The results of this study have implications for the assessment and management of CP/CPPS and for future research in this area.

“…The IPSS and the IIEF scores represent also a valuable support for initial condition assessment and for the course of the disease in response to treatment [ 25 , 26 ]. The collaboration with a psychologist can be suggested for these patients helping to explore and monitoring the psychosomatic aspects [ 27 ]. Physical examination should also focus on the lower urinary tract including palpation of the abdomen, external genitalia, and perineum and DRE which is particularly important to explore the pelvic fl oor conditions and to identify any pain trigger point [ 4 , 9 ].…”
