Women do not have the prostate as an organ, so they do not have prostatitis and do not have any symptoms of prostatitis. However, women have a prostate-like condition called chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which is a chronic inflammation of the pelvic organs that causes intermittent lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and gynecological discomfort. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease of longer duration may be accompanied by psychological disorders, such as mild to moderate depression, emotional agitation, and tension, with frequent visits to the doctor to relieve anxiety symptoms and chronic pain symptoms. Treatment is similar to that of prostatitis, with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial therapy being used in the acute phase, and physical therapy such as physiotherapy, hot water sitz baths, topical medications, and hot water applied externally to the lower abdomen usually being used in the chronic phase.
