Make sure that it is not infected the symptoms are very similar although some pain at time--been fighting an infection for the past year--the docs (family and endocrinologist doctors) don't leave me long enough on antibiotics as it takes much longer to clear because the prostate is very well protected.

For so many years I have had a relatively slow flow but it never bothered me until 15 years ago when I had my first infection and the urologist at the time kept me on antibiotics for 3 months and sure enough it cleared--until last year when it happened again but I finally went to see an urologist again and he will keep me on antibiotics until completely clear!

Cycling may have something to do with it, because of the prostate position, although simply seating is also not so good.

Yes alcohol caffeine and spices are unfortunately not recommended!
