Patient's question:
My husband has been experiencing frequent urination and urgency since last week. He randomly feels the urge to go to the bathroom, and he says it's often painful for him to urinate. Lately, I haven't dared to have intimate relations with him. I wonder if this could be prostatitis? Can he still engage in physical activities? Is it good for prostatitis patients to do squats?Doctor's answer:
Sitting in a squat position is highly beneficial for prostatitis. Squatting can effectively reduce pressure on the prostate. After squatting, blood circulation in the body accelerates, which helps alleviate congestion and edema in the prostate. The blood flow from the pelvic veins can be stabilized, and symptoms of prostatitis can be significantly improved.At the same time, squatting is a form of exercise that can enhance the immune system and improve the body's ability to resist diseases. Squatting can also divert the attention of many patients with prostatitis. Many patients with prostatitis feel very anxious, and after shifting their focus, their symptoms improve significantly. It is recommended to engage in regular squatting exercises to treat prostatitis.
