Is it possible for women to get prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Always seeing my male colleagues suffer from prostatitis made me feel lucky to be a girl. But recently, I heard that a girl also got prostatitis. Is that true? Hello, can women get prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

The prostate is a part of the male reproductive system and is unique to men. Prostatitis is often caused by aseptic inflammation, leading to its recurrence. It is more common in middle-aged and young men. Women do not have a prostate, so female patients need not worry about developing this condition. The above information can be used as a reference.
