Can fever cause prostatitis?

Whether fever can cause prostatitis should be judged according to the specific cause of fever.

If fever is caused by inflammatory diseases such as urinary tract infection, acute cystitis, proctitis, colitis or tonsillitis, the pathogen may invade prostate tissue through ascending infection, direct spread or bloodstream infection, and then cause prostatitis. However, if fever is caused by autoimmune diseases, neoplastic diseases, etc., it generally does not cause prostatitis. In addition, prostatitis, in addition to infection, may also be related to sedentary, long-term irregular sexual life, excessive eating of spicy food, alcoholism and other factors.
