No.: No, it should not, but if the symptoms persist, follow up with your PCP or urologist.

Unlikely: Was prostatitis from a bacterial infection? What was the evidence? Was your urine analysis was suggestive? Or culture was positive for bacterial growth? Unless you have history of retrograde ejaculation which will give some prostatitis like symptoms. In this situation your urine analysis will not show any signs of bacterial infection and urine culture will be negative.

Prostatitis: No. actually, ejaculation is felt to improve resolution of prostatitis.
