Abstract: Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is a common urologic condition which is difficult to be treated effectively. Little is known about the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease. Preparation of the animal model of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is an effective method to research the pathogenesis of the disease and development of new drug. Different animal models have distinctive traits, therefore, it is crucial to select suitable animal models for researching human diseases. In the review, the progress in the research on animal models of such disease is discussed.

Key words: chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, animal model, autoimmune, partial urethral obstruction, rat, estradiol, carrageen
