'''Prostatitis''' is an umbrella term for a variety of medical conditions that incorporate bacterial and non-bacterial origin illnesses in the pelvic region. In contrast with the plain meaning of the word (which means "inflammation of the prostate"), the diagnosis may not always include [[inflammation]]. Prostatitis is classified into acute, chronic, [[asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis]], and [[chronic pelvic pain syndrome]].

In the [[United States]], prostatitis is diagnosed in 8% of all male [[urologist]] visits and 1% of all [[primary care physician]] visits for male genitourinary symptoms.<ref name="pmid9507840">{{cite journal |vauthors=Collins MM, Stafford RS, O'Leary MP, Barry MJ |title=How common is prostatitis?
