Candida and Chronic Prostatitis |

Is prostatitis related to candidiasis? |
||
| Candida is a yeast. Candida is documented to cause prostatitis in some men, especially in immunocompromised men. There is an ongoing debate about how important Candida is as a cause of chronic prostatitis in men who are not immunocompromised. See: How to diagnose and treat fungal infections in chronic prostatitis. Wise GJ, Shteynshlyuger A. Curr Urol Rep. 2006 Jul;7(4):320-8. PMID: 16930504. Division of Urology, Maimonides Medical Center, 48-02 10th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, USA. Sepsis due to asymptomatic Candida prostatitis. Arch Ital Urol Androl. 2005 Jun;77(3):155-6.
