Saying you have a prostate issue then asking for saddles to fix it is like saying, "I have foot pain. Tell me what shoes to buy." While most of us have had our own issues and can give guidance with regard to our own issues we simply won't be able to fix your specific problem. For those that say "go to a doctor" you must be in the medical profession because almost all of us not in the profession understand that doctors don't have a clue when it comes to real life stuff like this. They will throw generalized medication at the issue as required by insurance and walk away.

I was diagnosed with benign prostatitis like 15-20 years ago. Urologist's recommendation: "change saddles". I went on a journey of a pile of saddles. When you find the one that works you buy them all. I am currently running a Cobb Fity-Five which is a tri style short nosed saddle. They don't make it anymore and almost all of mine are worn out. I will probably move to Selle Italia after this. I have been on most of the ones out there.

What has worked the most is prostate specific supplements over the years. Even then I have found I have to combine them. Huge doses of the most common still didn't fix things. Just made it slightly better. Certain combinations did GREAT. Currently on Saw Palmetto, Zinc, a TINY amount of Taurine, and Soy Lecithin. None of it works though until I add the TINY amount of Taurine. Too much and it doesn't work again. Too little and I am back to square one. Taurine won't do it on it's own either.

Everyone is different. I wish you luck in your search for relief.
