Answer: c) Use warm tub baths and analgesics to increase comfort.

Explanation:

Prostatitis is an inflammation on the prostate gland in men. The prostrate gland is responsible for the production of fluid that becomes the part of the semen. This condition is responsible for painful and difficulty in urination.

Treatment of prostatitis includes the use of antibiotics, and analgesics. The increase in intake of fluids is suggested, and lastly the use of sit baths with warm water containing analgesics can provide some comfort in this condition.
