Can running treat prostatitis?

Patient's question:

My husband has been experiencing frequent urination and pain during urination recently. He went to the hospital and was told it was related to the prostate. The doctor prescribed some medication and advised him to enhance physical exercise. Does running help with prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

The activity is very good for caring for the prostate, but from the perspective of effectiveness, running is the "first place" among various sports in caring for the prostate. This is closely related to the position of the prostate. Long-term running can effectively reduce the body's immunity and enhance our physical fitness. Running can also help massage the prostate. While it may have some effects, it cannot completely heal the prostate on its own. If a thorough examination reveals prostate issues, you can decide to undergo surgery for treatment or opt for medication.
