Prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis is common, poorly understood by conventional medicine, and highly responsive to a root-cause approach.
Prostatitis is the most common urological diagnosis in men under 50, yet chronic pelvic pain syndrome, the most prevalent form, is poorly managed by conventional medicine. The standard approach of repeated antibiotics and symptom management leaves most men without lasting relief. A root-cause investigation consistently reveals treatable drivers that have never been addressed.
Usually Not Bacterial
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS), the most common form of prostatitis, is non-bacterial in over 90% of cases. Repeated antibiotics don't help and often worsen gut health.
The Pelvic Floor Connection
Pelvic floor hypertonicity, chronic tension in the muscles of the pelvic floor, is almost universally present in CPPS and is rarely assessed or treated in conventional urology workups.
Hormonal & Inflammatory
Estrogen excess in men, chronic inflammation, and dietary irritants are major drivers of prostatic inflammation that respond directly to naturopathic intervention.
