Friend's boyfriend had to be admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotic treatment and was told he had a bacterial infection of his prostate , liver and stomach . Did one cause the rest ? I am in the medical field and she called to ask me what I thought , but it doesn't sound to me like the prostate should have anything to do with the liver or stomach . She is afraid he has an STD, and is just afraid to tell her . He presented with general malaise , nausea , and shoulder pain . He is around 60 years old, diabetic & overweight . Don't know any more medical history .

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Unfortunately we cannot answer this question either.

Bacterial prostatitis causes prostate infections but shouldn't lead to other organs. They are more common in men over 50. This infection can be chronic or acute and is generally treated with antibiotics. As to his liver and stomach and shoulder pain- we cannot answer that. A blood panel should be done to see if he has any kind of STI as gonorrhea, chlamydia or HIV can be a cause. However, the most common cause is from a UTI. There can be other kinds of infections that cause it too. There are several kinds of bacterial prostatitis.

Obviously this is only a guide as to what may be going on.
Best,
Susan
