Is prostatitis a occupational disease in the army?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am 20 years old this year. Because I want to join the army this year, but I heard from relatives and friends who just came out of the army that they all got prostatitis, so I am a little hesitant. I don't know if every soldier will get it. I want to know if prostatitis is a occupational disease in the army?

Doctor's answer:

This does not qualify as a occupational disease in the military. Prostatitis is a common and frequently occurring condition, and the vast majority of men may develop it. Factors such as prolonged sitting, irregular diet, smoking, drinking beer, irregular sexual activity, and frequent masturbation can all contribute to the development of prostatitis. Therefore, it is advisable to take preventive measures in these aspects. If you suspect prostatitis, it is important to actively undergo thorough examination and treatment. The condition of prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. It is also essential to maintain a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
