Chronic prostatitis is a poorly understood and difficult‐to‐treat condition. The authors discuss a guideline produced by the Prostatitis Expert Reference Group (PERG), which provides a framework for initial assessment and effective management in the community. Roger Kirby and Culley Carson comment from a secondary‐care perspective on page 17.
