Abstract：Objective To find out about the incidence of chronic prostatitis in Armed Police servicemen and study the etiological factors so as to provide data for future research on pathogenesis and targeted treatment.Methods A total of 301 servicemen were investigated by a self-made questionnaire and NIH-CPSI.Results (1) The incidence of prostatitis-like symptoms was 23.6%.(2)Univariate analysis showed that age,BMI,sexual behavior before enlistment,spermatorrhea,amounts of physical training,work stress,and habits of drinking water had no effect on the positive rate.(3) Multivariate analysis showed that the incidence of prostatitis-like symptoms among those who often suppressed urination was 12.64 times as high as among those who rarely did.Those who had served for 2 to 5 years were 2.31 times as vulnerable as those who had served for less than 2 years,while those who had served for more than 5 years were 5.68 times as likely to develop such symptoms as those who had served for less than 2 years.The incidence among servicemen from cities and towns was 2.01 times as high as among those from rural areas.(4) Staying up late and performing daily tasks (fulltime training or patrol)had no effect on the incidence of prostatitis-like symptoms (P>0.05).Conclusions The incidence of prostatitis-like symptoms among Armed Police servicemen is high.Habitual suppression of urination,a long service time and former residence in cities and towns are independent risk factors.
