The prevalence of prostatic diseases is reportedly high in Nigeria, and in some cases, it is comparable to figures from industrialised countries. However, to date, the research and policy responses in Nigeria are regrettably inadequate. The presence of "the double burden of diseases" and a limited appreciation of recent trends in prostatic diseases may be partly responsible for this situation. Given the frequently meagre healthcare budgetary allocations, it is pertinent to develop a properly thought-out plan for the prevention and management of prostatic diseases in Nigeria. A framework aimed at contributing to the development of such a plan is presented here. The development of a Central Prostatic Diseases Unit (CPDU) in the Federal Ministry of Health is advocated. The CPDU would be responsible for planning research and information dissemination programmes. Emphasis should be placed on targeting modifiable risk factors at the population level, proper surveillance to identify emerging trends, and research on both the operational dynamics and the efficacy of locally available herbs that could be useful in the management of prostatic diseases.
据报道，尼日利亚前列腺疾病的患病率很高，在某些情况下，与工业化国家的数据相当。然而，遗憾的是，迄今为止，尼日利亚的研究和政策应对措施并不充分。“疾病双重负担”的存在以及对前列腺疾病近期趋势的认识有限，可能是造成这种情况的部分原因。鉴于医疗保健预算拨款往往很少，制定一个经过深思熟虑的尼日利亚前列腺疾病预防和管理计划是很有必要的。本文提出了一个旨在为制定此类计划做出贡献的框架。提倡在联邦卫生部设立一个中央前列腺疾病单位（CPDU）。CPDU将负责规划研究和信息传播项目。应强调在人群层面针对可改变的风险因素、进行适当监测以识别新出现的趋势，以及对可用于前列腺疾病管理的当地草药的作用机制和疗效进行研究。
