Research for regular nervous function of the prostate and urinary tract in situations of male pelvic pain
Prostate and urinary system disorders are caused by dysfunctions of the nerve, epithelial and muscle fibre tissues. These can include: prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, post-surgical complications. They can cause symptoms like pain, hypertonic pelvic floor and LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms). They are also often associated with mood swings.
The immune system plays a fundamental role in the onset and persistence of these urinary system disorders by contributing to neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the pelvic area.
Inter-organ sensitisation is a clinical condition characterized by immunological activation and neuroinflammation in the pelvic districts in neuroanatomical connection including prostate, colon and bladder.
Acting on these mechanisms can help normal nervous functions in the pelvic system recover and stablise mood.
