Quality of life and sleep related with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis versus benign prostatic hyperplasia

The quality of life and sleep was determined in 80 sick on the outpatient setting: 47 men with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (CNP) versus 33 men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Quality of life was evaluated using the EuroQol-5D questionnaire. Quality of sleep was analyzed by Somnology Center question-naire. Pain evaluation in both groups was performed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Prostate-specific symp-toms were assessed using I-PSS and NIH-CPSI questionnaires. Patients with chronic pelvic pain and lower urinary tract symptoms showed significant disturbances in the quality of life and sleep. In CNP group those were connected with chronic pain syndrome, whereas in BPH group – predominantly with frequent urination and subsequent need of waking at night
