title: Female prostatitis.
abstract: Female prostatitis is described as a frequent cause of the urethral syndrome. Appropriate localization of tenderness to the paraurethral glands allows the diagnosis and treatment of female prostatitis as in its male counterpart. All urologists are urged to adopt the finger pressure (Fig. 3) maneuver in the pelvic examinations of their female patients.
