Micturition frequency in CPPS

Disrupted urinary frequency is an important problem in CPPS. Causes are unknown, but vasopressin dysregulation or desensitization of the kidney vasopressin receptors is likely, as may also be detrusor dyssynergia (meaning the muscles controlling the bladder do not function as they should either due to neurological causes or localized muscular dysfunction). In addition to this muscles in the pelvis floor and urethra may be dysfunctional ("uncoordinated").
See posts on the physiology of micturition and on nocturia for additional detail.
