Patient's question:
Since there are now shared bicycles, which are very convenient, I have been riding for several years. Recently, I developed prostatitis, and the doctor told me not to engage in overly intense activities. I was wondering if riding a bicycle is also an activity and whether it might affect my prostatitis. Does riding a bicycle for a long time cause prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Cycling generally does not cause symptoms of prostatitis. Prostatitis is thought to be related to local factors, hygiene, and chronic inflammation. It is recommended that you seek timely medical treatment, such as taking Pule'an tablets orally. It is also advised to pay attention to personal hygiene and change underwear frequently, as these can help alleviate symptoms. The condition of prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to immediately visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of the examination. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are recommended. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
