What should I do if sitting makes prostatitis worse?

When prostatitis causes discomfort while sitting, the following measures can help relieve symptoms: 1. Adjust sitting posture: Avoid maintaining the same sitting position for prolonged periods. Take breaks to stand and move around regularly, or use a soft cushion to reduce pressure on the prostate. 2. Medication: Follow your doctor's advice to take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to treat prostatitis and address the underlying inflammation causing discomfort. 3. Physical therapy: Treatments such as heat application and massage can improve local blood circulation and help alleviate inflammation and pain. 4. Lifestyle modifications: Avoid prolonged sitting, increase physical activity, especially exercises targeting the pelvic floor muscles, to enhance prostate resistance and improve blood flow. If discomfort while sitting persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly for professional diagnosis and treatment.
