Question 7

is there any link between acute-chronic prostititis pain and perineum/scrotal pain, constipation and mild alcohol consumption? will alcohol worsen it?

Accepted Answer

There is a link: Perineal pain in men is often caused by prostatitis, due to the closeness of the prostate to the pelvic floor. We call that feeling tenesmus, a feeling like you have to strain to move bowels, though no stool is present. Add a fiber supplement like psyllium and drink more water. While alcohol won't make it worse, it will conteract the fiber which needs water to work. Drink more water.
