Patient's question:
I haven't been feeling well, but the training wasn't in the hospital a few days ago for a thorough check-up, and it was said to be prostatitis. I'm very self-conscious and want to ask what percentage of men suffer from prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is the largest accessory gland in the male reproductive system. The prostatic fluid it secretes is an important component of semen. The prostate can also be affected by various diseases, with the most common being chronic prostatitis. Clinical diagnosis shows that 25% to 50% of men have experienced this condition. In your current situation, as a middle-aged individual, this inflammatory reaction of the prostate is relatively common, and the clinical manifestations are also quite prominent, often presenting with symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.
