Issues with the genitourinary system in men often appear as early as 35-40 years of age. Among the most common conditions at this stage is an inflammation of the prostate gland caused by infections. This condition, known in urological practice as prostatitis, accounts for up to half of all patient visits. It ranks third among all urological diseases in terms of prevalence and severity.
Prostatitis is a complex inflammatory process that affects all prostate tissues. Such inflammation can lead to undesirable consequences, as the prostate gland is a key organ in the male reproductive system. It plays a vital role in sperm production and erectile function. Once prostatitis develops, the gland quickly loses its physiological capabilities.
