Inclusion of Erectile Domain to UPOINT Phenotype Does Not Improve Correlation With Symptom Severity in Men With Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

Although ED should be elicited and appropriately treated in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, our data do not support the utility of using ED as an independent UPOINT domain.
