| description | Introduction: prostatitis is the third most important prostate disease, frequent in men under 50 years of age.
Objective: to characterize prostatitis clinically and epidemiologically.
Methods: a narrative review of the available literature was carried out using synthetic and historical-logical analytical methods by means of articles retrieved from databases such as SciELO - Medline (PubMed) - Medline Plus - Elsevier - Wiley - Scopus - Redalyc. A total of 34 references addressing the main clinical-epidemiological characteristics of the subject in question were selected.
Results: it should be studied exhaustively in order to achieve a correct diagnosis and treatment which will contribute to improve the patient's quality of life. Bacterial chronic prostatitis and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome are the most frequent pathologies in men; however, they are the most difficult to treat. It usually appears in young adults or middle-aged men. It is the most frequent urinary tract infection in men between the second and fourth decades of life. It comprises a group of syndromes, diseases and functional disorders affecting the prostate or perineal area with similar symptomatology and with an etiology in some cases unknown.
Conclusions: this pathology is the most common parenchymal urinary tract infection in men between the second and fourth decade of life, it represents the most common urological diagnosis in children under 50 years of age and the third most frequent in men over 50 years of age after benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. |
