Prevalence

Prostatitis is thought to be the most common urological complaint for patients under 50 years of age. It is estimated to occur in 5-8% (and maybe up to 16%) of the male population (as lifetime prevalence). About 90-95% of these cases are attributable to CP/CPPS. Frequency increases with age and seemingly has a northward increase. The mean patient is a male between 38 and 48 years that has suffered from diffuse problems for up to, commonly, eight years. But onset can begin at as early an age as the upper teens.
