Overview
Among men younger than 50 years, prostatitis is the most common urinary tract problem. Among men older than 50 years, it is the 3rd most common urinary diagnosis. There are approximately 2 million health care visits related to prostatitis every year. $84 Million are spent every year on treatment of prostatitis. The most common form of prostatitis is chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.[1][2]
Epidemiology and Demographics
=Incidence
- There are approximately 2 million health care visits related to prostatitis.[1]
Prevalence
- 15% of the men experience prostatitis at some point in their life[3]
- According to another estimate the life long prevalence of chronic prostatitis is 1.8% to 8.2%[4]
- The prevalence of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome is 2% to 10%[5]
Gender
- Since prostate gland is only found in men, prostatitis is also only found in men.
Age
- Among men younger than 50 years, prostatitis is the most common urinary tract problem.[1]
- Among men older than 50 years, it is the 3rd most common urinary diagnosis.[1]
