Could prostatitis cause hemorrhoids?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland than can or cannot be associated with bacterial infection, depending on the course of the disease. Hemorrhoids are not caused by prostate problems; other causes must be evaluated if hemmorhoids if present.

If you: Are straining to urinate because of the prostatitis it may contribute to a flare of your hemorrhoids, or if you are dehydrated this can cause prostatitis as well as constipation and hemorrhoid flare.
