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