ABSTRACT
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common condition obsessing urologists and patients. It is also known as a heterogeneous syndrome, with varied etiologies, progression courses and responses to treatment. Based on the deeper insights into its pathogenesis and re-evaluation of its clinical trials, a novel phenotypic classification system UPOINT has been developed, which clinically classifies CP/CPPS patients into six domains urinary (U), psychosocial (P), organ-specific (O), infection (I) , neurologic/systemic (N) and tenderness of pelvic floor skeletal muscles (T), and directs individualized and multimodal therapeutic approaches to CP/CPPS. This review systematically summarizes the theoretical foundation, clinical characteristics of UPOINT and treatment strategies based on the UPOINT phenotypic classification system.
