Mental Therapy for Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CPPS) is a common disease among young adults, and its incidence rate is about 9% to 14% in young adults. The cause of this disease is complex, the course is prolonged, and the recurrent rate is high, and the clinical manifestations are mainly pelvic pain.
 

 

CPPS patients are often accompanied by varying degrees of anxiety and depression disorders and varying degrees of mental and psychological symptoms, so the clinical curative effect is also poor, and we can see this from the results of NIH-CPSI score.
 

Miller and other researchers have achieved satisfactory results in 110 patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome accompanied by mental symptoms by relieving mental tension rather than any other treatment. They believe that tension is a major feature of chronic pelvic pain syndrome and prostate pain, which is called pressure prostatitis.
 

Anxiety, depression, and other factors can induce pelvic floor neuromuscular dysfunction and aggravate the symptoms of CPPS patients. If CPPS symptoms can not be treated in time and effectively, the patients will be troubled physically and mentally, and induce or aggravate autonomic nervous dysfunction.
 

In addition, anxiety, like pain and urination symptoms, is an important factor affecting the quality of life, which is closely related to the degree of pain. Therefore, when CPPS treatment is carried out, the psychological state of the patients should be considered simultaneously and properly handled.
 

Therefore, the patients with obvious mental and psychological symptoms, such as depressive and anxiety symptoms can first carry out mental and behavioral health education, comprehensively clarify the nature and characteristics of the disease to the patients, eliminate some one-sided understanding of the disease, and encourage the patients to work and live normally, so as to break the mental neurotransmitter nerve loop.
 

Antidepressants and anxiolytics can be used in patients with severe symptoms. In addition, the herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill also has a good curative effect.
