Abstract
Chronic prostatitis is a chronic syndrome that effects men with a wide range of age. The etiology, natural history and appropriate therapy models are still unclear. According to the classification of National Institutes of Health; 4 types of prostatitis were defined; acute bacterial prostatitis (category I), chronic bacterial prostatitis (category II), chronic nonbacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (category III) and asymptomatic prostatitis (category IV).Since microorganisms can only be isolated from a small percent of patients, empiric treatment is given to the most of the men. Multidisciplinary approach to the patients with suspected chronic prostatitis will help clinicians to play an active role in the treatment and prevent unnecessary medical therapies.

Abstract
Kronik prostatit geniş bir yaş grubundaki erkekleri etkileyen kronik bir sendromdur. Prostatitlerde etyoloji, hastalığın gidişi ve uygun tedavi modelleri hala tam olarak anlaşılamamıştır. Ulusal Sağlık Enstitüsü (National Institutes of Health=NIH) sınıflamasına göre prostatitler akut bakteriyel prostatit (kategori I), kronik bakteriyel prostatit (kategori II), kronik nonbakteriyal prostatit/kronik pelvik ağrı sendromu (kategori III) ve asemptomatik prostatit olmak üzere 4 gruba ayrılmaktadır. Olguların az bir kısmında tabloya neden olan mikroorganizma izole edilebildiğinden birçok hastaya ampirik tedaviler uygulanmaktadır. Kronik prostatit düşünülen hastalara multidisipliner yaklaşım ile tedavide daha bilinçli ve etkili olunacak, gereksiz tedaviler önlenecektir.
