Healthy eating is an important factor in maintaining body health. Male friends should eat less spicy foods to reduce stimulation to the prostate. They should also drink more water to ensure an adequate daily urine volume and avoid high concentrations of metabolic products in the urine that can stimulate the prostate.

Avoid sitting for prolonged periods
Prolonged sitting can cause congestion in the perineum, leading to difficulty in urination. It is recommended to engage in moderate physical activities, which are beneficial for reducing symptoms.
