In your case, it is generally recommended to undergo a prostate examination using ultrasound and a meticulous examination of prostatic fluid smears to rule out the causes of prostatitis. Additionally, it is essential to avoid sexual activity and prolonged sitting or standing. In the near future, focus on a light diet as the foundation, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, as well as quitting smoking and alcohol.
