Chronic primary bladder pain syndrome - current diagnosis and treatment

doc. MUDr. Jozef Marenčák, PhD.
Bratislava

Chronic primary bladder pain syndrome (CPBPS) is a complex condition that causes significant morbidity and reduced quality of life. Pain is generally the dominant symptom of CPBPS. More accurate classification of individual phenotypes and specific, new multimodal therapy can lead to more effective disease management. Multidisciplinary cooperation is usually a necessity. The article summarizes the latest knowledge on the terminology, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and management of CPBPS. However, many questions remain unanswered.

Keywords: CPBPS, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, new findings.
