Hello,
Possibility of a infection must be ruled out. There is high chance for infection and septicemia after prostate biopsy because the highly contaminated fecal contents gets an access to the blood stream.
Consult a urologist and get evaluated. Antibiotics must be started empirically. A blood culture may be required in case of persistent symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
