The results of our study indicate how important it is to pay attention to the characteristics of personality organization (pathological narcissism) in the clinical picture of CPPS. Pathological narcissism contributes to the development of somatic symptoms due to the patient’s increased sensitivity to physical sensations, which, in turn, affects the perception of somatic distress. However, the results of our study force us to state that we are still far from controlling all the pathological aspects of CPPS, low tolerance for coping with stress, deterioration of mood, catastrophic beliefs, narcissistic vulnerability, which makes the experience of pain truly a source of suffering and requires, in addition to medical, psychotherapeutic tactics aimed at strengthening psychological stability in this group of patients.
