Primary care physicians can and should diagnose, classify, and treat patients presenting with acute and chronic prostatitis syndromes. Although the chronic syndromes are a challenge to manage, this review article provides the necessary background to allow primary care physicians to take on this task. Patients who are unfortunate to be diagnosed with a prostatitis syndrome have the best chance for successful therapy at initial presentation. Those patients will ultimately benefit from an informed and educated physician.
