What is the differe between cpps and ureth?

See below: Assuming you mean urethritis, that's inflammation in the urethra, urine passage through the penis. Almost all urethritis is due to STDs, especially chlamydia or gonorrhea. Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS, the preferred name for non-infectious or "nonspecific" prostatitis) is discomfort probably caused by pelvic muscle tension (similar to tension headaches). It is not due to any infection.
