Can prostatitis be caused by not ejaculating?

Chronic Prostatitis Prostatitis can develop into a chronic (ongoing) problem: Possible causes include repeated bacterial infections, stress, not ejaculating often enough, and unknown causes. Symptoms may include frequent urination, burning with urination, and lower abdomen or back pain.

wisurology.com - Prostatitis, Nonbacterial - Prostate Conditions and Treatments

Nonbacterial Prostatitis

The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. It sits just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra (the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body). Prostatitis is an infection or inflammation that causes the prostate to become painful and swollen. This narrows the urethra and can block the bladder neck. Prostatitis can cause urinary symptoms such as a burning sensation, pressure, or pain. Nonbacterial prostatitis is the most common form of prostatitis. In many cases, it's annoying but not serious.

Causes

With nonbacterial prostatitis, the prostate is inflamed (swollen), but not infected. Possible causes include:

Stress, which tightens the pelvic muscles

Not ejaculating often enough, which can make fluid build up in the prostate

Unknown reasons

Symptoms

Symptoms of nonbacterial prostatitis are often vague and tend to be mild. They may include:

Frequent urination

Pain in the lower abdomen or back

Pain with ejaculation

Treatment

Your healthcare provider may suggest one or more of the following to relieve symptoms:

Anti-inflammatory or muscle-relaxing medications

Hot baths

Relaxing while urinating

Drinking more fluids or changing your diet

Ejaculating often (to help drain the prostate gland and relax the muscles)
