What Causes Prostatitis?

I have hpv the cancerous kind. Have had it since I got with my husband 5 yrs ago. Just had a LEEP procedure done. But now my husband is having issues and got diagnosed with prostasis and given Cipro. It doesn't seem to be helping. Could his issues be because of hpv? Should he let his doctor know about hpv on the follow up?

Thanks for contacting HCM

I am sorry to hear that you husband has prostatitis. We are not exactly sure how men get prostate infection. It maybe that bacteria collect in the urethra and then start to grow within the prostate. To treat prostatitis it takes sometimes a full month of antibiotics to cure. So he may need an extended treatment course or change his antibiotics.

HPV does not cause prostatitis. The doctor should know about the HPV but it will not impact his current treatment.
