At what age is it common to get prostatitis?

Patient's question:

The doctor is 48 years old this year. Recently, he has experienced frequent urination and urgency again, with more nighttime urination and often feeling like he can't finish urinating. He heard from a few old friends that they have also been diagnosed with prostatitis. He has also started to feel down about it. At what age is prostatitis more likely to occur?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is more common in people over 30, and if you have symptoms such as frequent urination or incomplete urination, it may be a sign of prostatitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital in a timely manner for further tests, such as a urinalysis and a detailed ultrasound examination of the prostate, to receive timely treatment. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely and symptomatic treatment, and avoid overwork in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
