My plumber says cycling is "a risk factor" for prostatitis.
He also says something about elevated intra-abdominal pressure
and lymph ducts that are common to the prostate and the lower
digestive tract.
Anybody got some cycling-specific insights/experience/wisdom?

Nonsense. ALL DISCOMFORT PROBLEMS ON UPRIGHT BICYCLES CAN BE CURED BY
PROPER FIT. People who can not ride upright bicycles should walk
instead.

And in any case, you can now buy bikes like the Challenge Seiran SL,
Bacchetta Aero , M5 Tica and others which avoid the issues of saddle
pressure. There's absolutely no need to stop cycling because of
prostate or back problems when beautiful bikes like that are
available. I have BPH and can't tolerate a saddle.

First: I'm no doctor.
I had this problem too (non bacterial prostatitis). I tried everything there
is and though I was sceptical about it first, I was so desperate I tried it
and it really helped.
Cycling didn't make it any worse btw.

Do you have any symptoms? If not, that's like saying eating can cause
obesity. Good bike fit, no symptoms like sleepy winkie and go ride.
Way to many fat, old urologists look at cycling and yell about yer

Been there, done that for about forty years now.
No doubt whatsoever in my case there's a correlation.
Hasn't stopped me - but it's definitely slowed me down bc the
intrabdominal pressure/shared lymph ducts thing seems to be a
factor.
In light of your observation that an MD may just be repeating
what they've heard instead of speaking from actual experience I
was trolling for somebody else with some experience in managing
the problem.
So far, it sounds to me like nobody's gonna touch it.

I enjoyed a spell or two of prostatitis, and the advice from my physician
was to be more careful in laundering, especially rinsing, shorts - and
second, more important advice - to augment significantly the quantity of
sexual release in my life.
I took all the advice. Since then, 15 years ago, only one new occurrence,
and it occurred during prolonged travel with no laundry done. Note, I only
mentioned the laundry.

Sandy, I understand that cleanliness and laundry are good things, and
desirable in any case, not the least for avoiding saddle boils, but I
don't understand how it's supposed to make a difference in prostatitis.
I figure that if poor hygiene is the cause, you should also see lots
of urinary tract infections in general, not just prostatitis.
I'm not a physician and am often wrong about such things, though. Did
your doctor give any explanation? Did s/he indicate the prostatitis was
likely bacterial in nature?

Hmmm... hard to argue with that.

Most often the cause isn't bacterial.

Prostatitis in and of itself is just "itis of the prostate" -
i.e. irritation/inflammation.
Then you get into "Bacterial prostatitis" and whatever other
subtypes there are depending on the cause of the "itis".
There's even one that afflicts people who have has so many
bacterial infections that parts of the gland have calcified. For
them, just jarring the thing causes inflammation.

You're plain evil! Making me remember the "push it out the front door"
instant remedy.
I didn't ask, as the therapies have been more than satisfactory. Even
during the winter break. Especially during the winter break.

In support of that, my plumber asserts that prostatitis is
virtually endemic among the Catholic priesthood.
Also among power lifters (the intra-abdominal pressure/shared
lymph ducts thing...)

Today, I put new tires and tape on a 1980 Raleigh Team Pro I sold new.
Owner was 1936 US track champion, says he rides every morning after
milking the cows. I suggested he could retire and ride all the time. At
87, he says he's seen a lot and "when people retire, they die".
Keep riding.

Maybe he could check me out! I've had a lower right ab pain for over a year
that the docs can't diagnose much less solve. (Went from hernia to pinched
nerve to gallstones to generic "abdominal wall strain". I've been PROBED,
baby!)
