for what its worth, prolonged pressure on pelvic floor can - and often does - play a part in prostate conditions such as prostatitis and benign prostate enlargement.
Maintaining a sitting position with pressure isolated within a particular region can cause tension and inflammation in prostate.
In addition, some men also find to their amazement that squatting to defecate, as opposed to sitting on a toilet, has miraculously cleared up some prostate conditions. After sitting on toilet day after day, year after year, tension focuses on prostate, particularly because one tends to squeeze with pelvic floor. With squatting one uses upper thigh muscles and so tension and loading does not exacerbate or initiate prostate problems.
Some men also find that by doing inverted yoga poses such as headstand or shoulderstand regularly and chinning type movements, pressure on pelvic floor can also be reduced.
