Understanding Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), also known as chronic prostatitis, is a condition characterized by persistent pain in the pelvic region. While it primarily affects men, it can also occur in women. The exact cause of CPPS remains unknown, making it a challenging condition to diagnose and treat effectively. However, with our expertise in occupational medicine, we have developed advanced techniques to help individuals manage and overcome this debilitating syndrome.

It is important to note that every individual may experience CPPS differently, and the underlying cause can vary from person to person. Our dedicated team of medical professionals will work closely with you to identify the specific cause of your pelvic pain and provide personalized treatment options.
