About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the risk factors of lifestyle, medication and sexual habits in adult chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is lifestyle, medication, and sexual habits related to chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome * Is there any medication available to protect men from chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Participants will:
* Independently receive a survey questionnaire on lifestyle, medication, and sexual habits. * Symptomatic individuals will undergo additional prostate fluid examination for diagnosis.
Researchers will compare healthy adult males to see if there are differences on lifestyle, medication and sexual habits between the two groups.
