Lifestyle and home remedies

The following might ease some symptoms of prostatitis:

• Soak in a warm bath (sitz bath) or use a heating pad.
• Limit or avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy or acidic foods, which can irritate your bladder.
• Avoid activities that can irritate your prostate, such as prolonged sitting or bicycling.
• Drink plenty of caffeine-free beverages. This will cause you to urinate more and help flush bacteria from your bladder.
