Patient's question:
I'm only 26 years old and don't know why I would get prostatitis. Is it common for people of that age to suffer from prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Many people believe that prostatitis is a disease that frequently recurs in young and middle-aged men, and is directly related to excessive sexual activity. Experts point out that the general age of onset for prostatitis is between 25 and 35 years old in men. However, many pathological studies have found that prostatitis can occur at all stages of a man's life. The recurrence of this disease is often accompanied by benign prostatic hyperplasia, predominantly affecting middle-aged men. Once this condition recurs, it may also lead to urinary tract infections. Therefore, men should pay close attention to prostatitis and seek timely treatment if symptoms appear to avoid many complications.
