Does bicycling increase the risk of BPH?

Exercise reduces the risk of BPH and a host of other diseases, but (perhaps mistakenly), bicycling has been suggested to aggravate or even cause prostate conditions — including BPH. While men with BPH may experience mild discomfort when spending too much time in the saddle, there is no evidence to suggest that riding a bike poses any risk for developing or worsening BPH. Riding with proper form and using the right gear when riding may help alleviate BPH symptoms, but again, there aren’t any studies that have investigated this topic.
