It seem a little odd to me that possible microbes would "jump" right into the prostate and initate CP/CPPS without causing some kind of a urinary tract infection prior to this in those cases where a bacterial etiology is suspected. Thus I would just like to run a poll on this subject. I hope as many as possible will reply. Thank you!

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that I originally had a urinary tract infection at the beginning of my problems. What likely happened was that antibiotics cleared the urethra, but was left was prostatitis.
At the beginning I had severe pain throughout the urethra, which subsided. After I was left with pain/discomfort towards the tip of the penis/urethra.
