Core Tip

Core tip:Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection is the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacterial infection worldwide with a significant impact on young male fertility. Ct represents a challenge for the urologist, both for diagnosis and treatment. An accurate comprehension of the pathology, diagnosis and treatment of this entity is essential for the urologist in order to prevent persistent consequences and improve the patient’s quality of life. We summarize the most current developments in the treatment of young men affected by chronic prostatitis due to Ct infection.
