Is Prostate Inflammation a Risk Factor for Prostate Cancer?: One question asked by doctors is whether inflammation of the prostate gland ‒ medically known as prostatitis ‒ has any long-term consequences. Some studies have suggested that it can increase a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
Although many men never develop symptoms of prostatitis, others will complain of problems with urination, such as pain or burning, slowing of the stream, frequency and urgency, and possibly fever or pain in the back and perineum. Although it can occur at any age, younger men are more likely to be affected. Sometimes it is caused by bacteria, but often there is no clear explanation. Some men develop recurring symptoms that can linger for several years before ultimately disappearing.
