Can people with prostatitis ride bicycles?

Patients with prostatitis are advised not to ride bicycles. The reasons are as follows: 1. Compression risk: Cycling and other straddling exercises can easily compress the prostate gland. Prolonged engagement in such activities may lead to pressure on the prostate, causing congestion and swelling, which could trigger prostatitis or worsen existing conditions. 2. Worsening of symptoms: Patients with prostatitis should avoid cycling for more than 30 minutes, as prolonged riding can exacerbate symptoms and increase the difficulty of treatment. 3. Precautions: In addition to avoiding cycling, patients with prostatitis should also avoid prolonged sitting, exposure to cold, and maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking, abstaining from alcohol, avoiding hard-to-digest foods, and adhering to a light diet.
