Hello,

No usually if they do colonoscopy why will the prostate get inflamed? There is no connection also. if there is any fistula or sinus they would have found out in colonoscopy. Maybe they might have introduced infection which might have caused you the generalized infection and also prostate which is confusing to you. whatever the etiology by taking antibiotics it will get subsided.


Next time before colonoscopy takes prophylactic antibiotics if you are so concerned about it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
