Can people with prostatitis do squats?

Patient's question:

Recently, I frequently experienced nocturia, with small amounts of urine and a feeling of incomplete emptying, so I went to see a urologist. The doctor diagnosed me with prostatitis. I want to ask if I can do deep squats with prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

From a medical perspective, prostatitis refers to a prostate disease characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain as the main clinical manifestations, caused by a variety of complex reasons. Prostatitis is a common condition in urology. Patients with prostatitis can squat without any issues. It is important to avoid drinking beer and prolonged sitting or standing, as well as long-distance cycling, to prevent irritation and pressure on the local area that may hinder complete recovery. Prostatitis is mainly classified into two types: bacterial infection and non-bacterial infection, and is often associated with poor habits such as drinking too little water and excessive alcohol consumption, which can lead to symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and discomfort.
