10 Prostatitis Symptoms

Symptom #6: Fever
Another symptom that people might notice if they’re struggling with prostatitis is a fever. Again, a fever generally tends to occur if the problem is caused by a bacterial infection.
A fever is an immune response that the body produces when it detects something like bacteria or a virus in the body. By raising the body’s internal temperature, the immune system gains the upper hand on many viruses and bacteria and is thus able to send its offensive cells, known as T-cells, to attack the foreign body. A fever may be uncomfortable, but it’s a sign that your immune system is doing its job properly.
