National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) scored in 64 patients showing positive semen cultures for uropathogens, but negative VB1, VB2, EPS, and VB3 samples (four-glass test). (A): Values at T1 and T2 are significantly different from T0 and T1, respectively (P < 0.0001 in both cases). (B): T1 vs. T0, P = 0.00103; T2 vs. T1 or T0, P < 0.0001. (C): impact of the disease on patients' quality of life; T1 vs. T0 and T2 vs. T1 or T0, P < 0.0001. Wilcoxon signed rank test.
