Because traditional treatments aren't always effective for prostatitis, many men experiment with various lifestyle changes to control their symptoms. Although no scientific evidence proves these practices are beneficial, you may want to try one or more of the following suggestions:
Drink plenty of water.
Limit or avoid alcohol, caffeine and spicy foods.
Urinate at regular intervals.
Have regular sexual activity.
If you're a cyclist, use a "split" bicycle seat, which reduces the pressure on your prostate.
Men with category 3 prostatitis can learn to live with the disease by limiting the things that make their symptoms worse and emphasizing the things that make them feel better.
