Patient's question:
I spend about 8 hours in front of the computer every day, but recently I feel like I might have prostatitis. Is there a connection between the two?Doctor's answer:
Sitting for long periods can compress the area of the prostate, and if there is inflammation, it may worsen. One of the causes of chronic prostatitis is related to prolonged sitting. Therefore, whether you have this condition or are undergoing treatment for prostatitis, avoid sitting for long periods, drinking alcohol, or indulging in excessive sexual activity. Drink more water, take oral medications, and you should be fine.
