Is it beneficial for prostatitis to practice Kegels?

Patient's question:

I have a history of prostatitis for two years. I heard from a friend that practicing Kegels can help with the treatment of prostatitis. I'm not sure if it's true or not. Will practicing Kegels be beneficial for prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

You can practice according to your personal circumstances, and it will be effective. If you have prostatitis, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. You can go to the urology department of the hospital for tests such as prostatic fluid examination, and take anti-inflammatory drugs based on the results. If it is caused by a bacterial infection, you can use antibiotics such as cephalosporins for treatment. Additionally, drink more water, urinate more frequently, avoid spicy foods, and take warm water sitz baths. Do not stay in a seated position for a long time. If you have masturbation, you should abstain.
