Abstract

Background: Prostatitis represents a significant inflammatory condition of the prostate gland with important clinical implications. While often overshadowed by prostatic cancer and benign hyperplasia, prostatitis contributes substantially to prostatic pathology and may play a role in disease progression. Understanding the patterns and clinical correlates of prostatitis in Nigerian populations is essential for optimal management.
