Feedback:
Prolonged sitting can aggravate the condition of prostatitis and should be avoided. Warm tub baths and/or sitz baths can provide comfort. Increasing fluid intake can also flush the urethra of microorganisms and decrease risk of bacterial infection. Regularly draining the prostate gland through masturbation or intercourse can be helpful.
