Misophonia in Urological Patents: Our Experience of Management

Abstract

Abstract - This case report presents fve patents suffering from recurrent chronic urological inflammatory diseases and adverse sound sensitvity. Unifying psychological feature of all presented patents is their intolerance of usual bodily sounds produced by partners and other people, called “misophonia”, which makes long-term relatonships impossible. In our sample, despite psychiatric care, misophonic symptoms have not ceased completely. Patents contnued to practice partner avoidance, with frequent changes of sexual partners or long-term abstnence. Consequently, frequently unprotected sexual contacts caused new sexually transmited diseases, combined with recurrences of chronic prostatts/cystts, while abstnence led to chronic nonbacterial (congestve) prostatts. It looks like misophonia complicates the ability to maintain long-term sexual relatonships that might influence urological status in sufferers. Beter understanding of misophonia, its coping mechanisms and the hypothetcal indirect contributon of misophonia-related behaviour to urological pathology could be possible only afer future multdisciplinary investgatons with larger statstcally signifcant number of enrolled patents.
