Does chronic bacterial prostatitis cause fever?

Patient's question:

Because I had a good friend who hasn't been around recently, so I've been quite worried. When I went to his house, he told me he had chronic bacterial prostatitis and had been a bit feverish lately, which is why he was taking medication. So I wanted to ask if chronic bacterial prostatitis causes fever?

Doctor's answer:

If there are symptoms of prostatitis, they are likely to recur, possibly caused by a contagious condition. For example, bacterial prostatitis may lead to such recurrence. Therefore, if there is a recurrence of urinary tract infections or prostatitis, whether it is non-bacterial or bacterial, timely treatment should be implemented, along with fever-reducing measures.
The symptoms of prostatitis include burning pain during urination, a heavy and uncomfortable feeling in the rectum, decreased libido, and premature ejaculation.
