At what age does prostatitis usually occur?

It is generally believed that prostatitis is a common disease among young men, closely related to people with frequent sexual activity, and the peak age is generally between 25 and 35 years old. However, epidemiological and pathological studies have found that prostatitis can affect men of all ages, including middle-aged and elderly men, and can occur simultaneously with prostate hyperplasia in elderly men or one after the other.

Prostatitis often occurs in adult men and is the most common reason for men aged 20-50 to visit urology departments. The vast majority of surveys have found that the incidence of prostatitis in middle-aged and elderly men is also high. Benign prostatic hyperplasia often occurs in elderly men, which may be related to prostatitis in some way, making patients more susceptible to urinary tract infections and thus prostate infections. Studies have reported that the probability of inflammatory reactions in prostate histological examinations of patients with prostatic hyperplasia after surgery is as high as 84%-98%. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis in middle-aged and elderly men should be highly valued.

In addition, prostatitis is not uncommon among teenagers. After puberty, the prostate gland begins to secrete prostatic fluid and excretes it regularly through masturbation, sexual intercourse or spermatorrhea. At this time, the chance of prostatitis increases significantly. Among teenagers, excessive masturbation is one of the causes of prostatitis, which can also be secondary to acute prostatitis, accompanied by urinary tract infection and bladder irritation symptoms.
