Does anyone know if chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome is more commen in a certain race? I come from a European background. Do white men tend to get chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome more?
I read the title on this study thats going on.
"Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common condition with no known cure. It is estimated that every 15 seconds, a man in the USA is diagnosed with CP/CPPS. Studies have suggested that the condition may be genetic and passed down (or inherited) from one generation to the next.
CPPS more commen in certain races?

Hey, that's Jordan Dimitrakov's study! So he's still in the USA. Send him my best wishes if you enrol.

One the main causes of my chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome was food intolerance. In my case wheat/gluten. From what I have read, a propensity for allergies / intolerance is likely passed down. It is noteworthy the Irish have a very high incident rate of Celiac disease (wheat intolerance). My grandparents were Irish.
So in my case, it is possibly genetic. But only to the extent of the causitive factor.

Irsih descent here too. I believe that this condition is more prevelant amongst causcasian men for no other reason than what I believe to be a common belief / trend in our racial group to generally push ouselves for more in terms of individual success, domination of other racial groups (historically) and competitive Type A behaviour borne out of an over-empkhasis on material gain and ssuccess in the capitalist market.
Controversial I know but I could quote sources. Jung one said that the native Indians could never understand why the white man was always seeking for more and continually restless! has he got a point? We're all unique individuals of course nad we dont all fit into this racial stereotype but it certainly wouldnt surpise me if chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome was MUCH more prevelant amonst the white race!

Age: 29 | Onset Age: 26 | Symptoms: initially severe burning throughout pelvis - much better; muscles spasms all over region, back pain, chronic IBS (much better) | Helped By: Psychotherapy, SP stretches, swimming, accepting the condition (understanding there is treatment); stress/anxiety management; possibly basic quercetin; valerian root, vit B & calc & magn supplements; gluten avoidance & especially dealing with chronic constipation. | Worsened By: stress / anxiety, too much sex; repressed emotions; personality goodist traits. 80% better

I can't help but notice the UK Irish/English posters. I think the weather connection (cold) adds to the muscle aspect and tightning. Maybe the gloomy skys playing into mood and contributing to more muscle issues and pain. That's it though.....
I think there is no race connection, more environment and emotional dispostion. Only relation to genetics I think is the stress component in families with nervous tention, anxiety, high blood pressure etc. You can be an expolosive type or withdrawn. Doesn't matter, if you have stress it just goes to the pelvic region instead of the heart or back or "head".

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.
