Urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome

Urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS) is ongoing bladder pain in either sex, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) in men and interstitial cystitis[1][2][3] or painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) in women.[4][5]

It was coined as an umbrella term for use in research into urologic pain syndromes in men and women.
