Interesting and very helpful suggestions. One more thing to try, when you are in a flare, lie on your stomach with a couple of pillows under your lower abdomen so your behind is up in the air. The elevation helps drain any swelling out of the prostate. You may feel silly but your prostate will feel better! Also, fill a tube sock partially with flaxseeds, tie a knot in the open end, heat in microwave for one to two minutes, and put that between your legs. It will stay warm for 20-30 minutes and get the heat right where it is needed when you don't feel like getting in the tub.
