The most striking finding was a significant increase in maximum urethral closure pressure compared to an age and sex-matched control group. Typically, peak and average urinary flow rates were decreased. Another prominent feature was incomplete funneling of the bladder neck during voiding with an accompanying urethral narrowing at the level of the external urethral sphincter. These findings are not consistent with a diagnosis of tension myalgia of the pelvic floor or detrusor-striated sphincter dyssynergia but suggest a primary abnormality involving the pelvic sympathetic nervous system. We believe that more advanced methods than those available currently are needed to elucidate fully the role of the autonomic nervous system, especially its sympathetic component, in the etiology of prostatodynia. © 1983 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByANDERSON R, WISE D, SAWYER T and CHAN C (2018) INTEGRATION OF MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINT RELEASE AND PARADOXICAL RELAXATION TRAINING TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN IN MENJournal of Urology, VOL. 174, NO. 1, (155-160), Online publication date: 1-Jul-2005.Barbalias G (2018) Re: The Chronic Prostatitis-chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome Can be Characterized by Prostatic Tissue Pressure MeasurementsJournal of Urology, VOL. 168, NO. 2, (663-663), Online publication date: 1-Aug-2002.ZERMANN D, ISHIGOOKA M, DOGGWEILER R and SCHMIDT R (2018) NEUROUROLOGICAL INSIGHTS INTO THE ETIOLOGY OF GENITOURINARY PAIN IN MENJournal of Urology, VOL. 161, NO. 3, (903-908), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1999.Berger R, Miller J, Rothman I, Krieger J and Muller C (2018) BLADDER PETECHIAE AFTER CYSTOSCOPY AND HYDRODISTENSION IN MEN DIAGNOSED WITH PROSTATE PAINJournal of Urology, VOL. 159, NO. 1, (83-85), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1998.BARBALIAS G, NIKIFORIDIS G and LIATSIKOS E (2018) alpha-BLOCKERS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PROSTATITIS IN COMBINATION WITH ANTIBIOTICSJournal of Urology, VOL. 159, NO. 3, (883-887), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1998.Lowentritt J, Kawahara K, Human L, Hellstrom W and Domingue G (2018) Bacterial Infection in ProstatodyniaJournal of Urology, VOL. 154, NO. 4, (1378-1381), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1995.
