Multicenter StudyDoes Pollen Trigger Urological Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome Flares? A Case-Crossover Analysis in the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain Research Network.
We sought to determine whether pollen triggers urological chronic pelvic pain syndrome flares. ⋯ We found some evidence to suggest that rising pollen count may trigger flares of urological chronic pelvic pain syndrome. If confirmed in future studies, these findings may help to inform flare pathophysiology, prevention and treatment, and control over the unpredictability of flares.
