ABSTRACT = {Psychological factors may play a role in the pathophysiology 
of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/
CPPS). This case series describes a cohort of 10 men 
presenting with CP/CPPS whose symptoms began after an 
extramarital sexual encounter, who strongly believed they 
had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) despite negative 
testing, and who have had no improvement with empiric 
antibiotic treatment. Patients’ clinical presentation and 
physical exam findings are reviewed. All men were clinically 
phenotyped with the UPOINT system. Pelvic floor spasm 
and not infection was prominent in these men. Treatment 
recommendations are proposed and compliance assessed.},
