European School of Urology Courses ESU Course 05: Chronic pelvic pain syndromes (CPPS) with special focus on chronic prostatitis (CP) and painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) Chair: J-J. Wyndaele, Antwerp (BE)     Aims and objectives: Painful diseases of the pelvis are not rare. The clinical entity is not an easy one, both in diagnosis as in treatment. Interactions between organs complicate the approach. The list of “confusable“ diseases is long and the most direct way to the most probable diagnosis needs to be determined without danger of overlooking another dangerous pathology. The increase in knowledge has been important during the last couple of years. The scope of the course is to bring the participants up to date, so that after the course they can perform the most optimal evaluation of the patients with chronic pelvic pain and give the treatment best adapted to our actual knowledge.    General introduction Dr. J.J.
