Patient's question:
Frequent urination and urgency, lower back and knee pain, insomnia and frequent dreams, going to bed at midnight. After a thorough examination, it was found to be prostatitis. The doctor recommended medication for me to take home. The doctor also suggested that I could practice kegel exercises. So I want to ask if kegel exercises are helpful for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Performing pelvic floor exercises is beneficial for prostatitis. In most cases, prostatitis can lead to discomfort in the perineal area and may also affect rectal function or bowel metabolism. Through pelvic floor muscle training, the symptoms associated with prostatitis can be effectively stabilized. It is necessary to persist with this practice and also pay attention to preventing constipation and irregular bowel movements. Eating more vegetables and fruits, as well as maintaining a light diet, is recommended.
