Can Chronic Non-bacterial Prostatitis Be Associated With Sjogren S Syndrome?

Can chronic non-bacterial prostatitis be associated with Sjogren s? I can t find in the literature. Reiter s yes. One would think so--from a mechanical point of view. Decreased prostate secretions might cause. If in fact the prostate works similar to the salivary, lacrimal glands to secrete fluid.
