Prostatitis is a common urological problem among men and can affect men of all ages. It is estimated that up to 35-50% men may experience symptoms of prostatitis during their lifetime.
The most common symptoms of chronic prostatitis include:
Pain and discomfort in the perineum, can occur chronically leading to psychogenic symptoms such as:
Erectile dysfunction can also result from such complaints.

In urology, a classification of prostatitis consisting of the following 5 types is used:
In order to select an appropriate form of treatment for prostatitis, a professional diagnosis, carried out by a urologist, is essential. One of the basic tools with which the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory conditions of the prostate should begin is the following Meares-Stamey test of 4 glasses, commonly known as the classic '4 glass test'. A test recommended by the European Society of Urology, but unfortunately neglected in everyday urological practice due to its time-consuming nature.
The Meares Stamey 4 glass test involves performing a urine culture of 4 samples:
The first sample represents the flora of the urethra, the second the bacterial flora of the urine from the bladder, and the third and fourth samples represent the flora of the prostate gland (prostate). This procedure allows the bacterial flora of the urethra and the prostate to be examined.
With diagnosis based on the Meares Stamey 4-Glass Test, the specialist urologist can adequately determine the type of prostatitis and propose an appropriate form of treatment, e.g. antibiotic therapy or STORZ ESWT treatment for prostatitis.
The Meares-Stamey test provides important diagnostic information regarding the presence of bacteria in the urinary tract. It allows the identification and classification of possible infections, such as bladder infections, urethritis or prostatitis. Analysis of urine samples also allows the sensitivity of bacteria to various antibiotics to be determined, which is important in determining appropriate treatment.
The Meares-Stamey test is extremely useful in assessing men's health, especially when a urinary tract infection is suspected. This test allows the bacteria and their source to be accurately identified, which is crucial in determining effective antibiotic therapy. It also allows the doctor to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and assess any complications or recurrence of the infection.
