"Prostatitis is a situation that gives rise to a blown up( bloated) prostate gland, that is delicate and painful. The pain can be experienced particularly during urination or ejaculation."
- Sabrina Felson

In fact, there is no definite way to completely avoid this health crisis, yet there are a lot of little changes in lifestyle that a person can adopt in order to improve the health of his prostate gland thereby assisting to reduce the risk of prostatitis.

At this juncture, the following are handy hints on prostate that can be helpful in managing the situation and also stopping it from worsening, if it has already manifested.

• Hygiene
  Good personal hygiene in connection with the penis and the surrounding part is very essential so as to avoid infection.

• A Standing Posture, very Important In Most Cases.
  It's recommended that a person be on his feet as long as possible because sitting down for a longer time mounts pressure on the prostate gland and gets it swollen for some time, yes, it's advisable to keep away from long bike rides and also sitting down for a long period.

• Exercise
  This is also very important at least thrice weekly. Fast trekking along the road, park can be advantageous, of course physical exercise can minimize anxious feelings which actually trigger some types of prostatitis. Men who are sufferers of this ailment confirm that physical activity reduces their signs.

  There are some kinds of prostatitis that manifest when bacteria in the urinary tract gain entrance into the prostate and give rise to an infection. Hence, it is safer to be hydrated in order to water down the urine and also flush out the bladder.

• Consumption Of More Fruits And Vegetables.
  These contain nutrients in high amount that can maintain the body's health and also ward off infections and swelling.

• Restrict Caffein And Alcohol Intake.
  Drinks like tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages can enlarge the urinary tract and bladder.

  Obesity is not ideal for prostate, therefore ensure that unnecessary weight is shed by consuming a balanced food, being active and having sufficient sleep.

• Stress Management.
  Men who struggle with stress seriously at work or at home may possibly suffer from prostatitis.

• Practice Safe Sex.
  Sexually transmitted infections sometimes result in prostatitis, for example through sexual intercourse with an infected person, bacteria can infect the urethra which is the tube that transports urine out of the body and these bacteria may settle in the Prostate. Additionally, sexual promiscuity is not advisable healthwise and otherwise.
