Rik, an IT professional, developed chronic prostatitis after prolonged sitting for over 12 hours a day, leading to symptoms like frequent urination and urethral pain. The condition is linked to poor blood circulation and inflammation due to extended periods of pressure on the prostate. Treatment options include traditional Chinese medicine and lifestyle changes to reduce sedentary behavior and promote better hydration.

1. Can You
Get
Chronic
Prostatitis
Due to＂
Sit＂?

2. Recently, Rik, who works in New York, came
to the men's clinic of a nearby hospital
complaining of some symptoms that have
been bothering him, frequent and urgent
urination and mild burning pain in his urethra,
accompanied by soreness and swelling in his
small abdomen and perineum. Thinking he
had caught urethritis, he took some
antibiotics. However, the symptoms did not
disappear. Rik was confused about why he
had these symptoms, as he usually has good
habits and doesn't drink or smoke.

3. The doctor took a detailed look at Rik's life in
the last few days and found the cause of his
discomfort. It turns out that Rik is an IT
employee, and he has been working overtime
for a week, sitting at least 12 hours a day. The
doctor told Rik that his disease was "a result
of sitting". Therefore, sitting is an important
factor in the development of prostatitis.

4. So, this is the
confusion of many
people: why does
sitting become a
cause of
prostatitis?

5. This is closely related to the location of the
prostate. The prostate is a male reproductive
organ located below the bladder and the
urethra. Also, the prostate is the largest
accessory gland in men, deep in the pelvis.
When a man sits down, he is attached to the
stool. In other words, the man is "sitting" on
his prostate.

6. Sitting for a long time will produce a sterile
"oppressive inflammation", and the man may
show frequent and urgent urination, urethral
burning and other bladder irritation. And
prostate inflammation often "implicates" the
surrounding body tissues so that patients
experience acid sink and falling distension in
the lumbosacral, lower abdomen, perineum,
scrotum, and other parts. This is commonly
known as prostatitis.

7. Sitting for a long time can easily lead to the
accumulation of the body's metabolites and
poor blood circulation, especially chronic
congestion in the perineum and prostate.
Besides, it can cause poor glandular fluid
excretion and induce prostatitis, resulting in
different degrees of urinary frequency,
urgency, pain, incontinence, urinary tract
infection, and other symptoms. In addition,
drinking less water and holding urine can lead
to direct stimulation of the urinary tract and
aggravate the symptoms of prostatitis.

8. Except for being sedentary, there are other
reasons leading to prostatitis. Prostatitis is
usually divided into acute prostatitis and
chronic prostatitis. Acute prostatitis is mainly
caused by a bacterial infection caused by
improper operation of transurethral
instruments or urinary reflux. Chronic
prostatitis is mostly caused by bacterial
infection or infection
with chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc. Prostatitis
should be treated in time; if the treatment is
not timely or incomplete, it is easy to relapse.
Most prostatitis caused by sitting for a long
time is chronic.

9. While going to the hospital to receive
treatment for chronic prostatitis, male patients
can take traditional Chinese medicine Diuretic
and Anti-inflammatory Pill. It can eliminate the
symptoms associated with prostatitis and
does not cause harm to the body. At the same
time, it is an herbal preparation that is easy to
take in daily life. It is especially suitable for
busy and sedentary people who work days all
day long in office buildings.

10. Therefore, men should pay attention to
changing their sedentary habits. In modern
society, "being sedentary" has become a
common phenomenon. Male patients,
especially those forced to be sedentary
because of their work, should make some
changes for their health.

11. They can get up every 40 minutes to an hour
after work to give the prostate a break from
the stress. In addition, for many young people
who forget to rest during their busy lives, it is
recommended that they can drink more water
at work. Whether they go to drink water or go
to the toilet, they can have a chance to get
up. This kind of passive exercise is a good
way to give the prostate a decompression.
