As already mentioned, the causative organisms of prostate infection may or may not be sexually transmitted. Oral, genital, or anal intercourse can cause infection with bacteria such as those responsible for gonorrhea and chlamydia if a partner is infected, whether or not he or she is symptomatic. Performing anal sex on a partner also increases the risk of infection of the prostate with the bacteria commonly found in stool. Condoms—if they are used consistently and correctly and they do not leak or break—will prevent the transmission of these bacteria.

Prostate infections that are older and who have some predisposing structural cause, such as enlargement of the prostate. Common misconceptions are that prostate infection is caused by sitting too long, by not having sex frequently enough, or by various dietary problems. All of these statements are not true.
