Variability of the Symptoms of Chronic Abacterial Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome during Intermittent Therapy with Rectal Prednisolone Foam for Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract

We describe the response of symptoms of chronic abacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CAP/PPS) in a man treated with rectal prednisolone for concomitant ulcerative colitis. The temporal relationship of the symptoms of CAP/PPS to starting and stopping the topical corticosteroid over 2 treatment cycles lends further anecdotal support to our hypothesis that treatment of the immune-mediated response in this chronic condition has a beneficial effect upon symptomatic outcome.
