HOW COMMON IS PROSTATITIS?
It is estimated that at least 40% of men’s visits to urologists are caused by prostatitis. It can affect young men, while BPH and prostate cancer are more typical of older men. Because prostatitis varies in severity and because it has attracted little attention from researchers, no one knows how many men suffer from it but the usual statistic quoted is that over 50% of all men will suffer from it sometime in their life.
