Ejaculation worsens problems immensely

I've recently been diagnosed with prostatitis.

I've read on all forums/sites, that self-gratification is good for the condition.

I'm doing the broccoli juice program (7 days on, 3 off for 3 weeks), but I've found that after playing with yourself, spanking the monkey, my pain is doubled or trebled for 2-3 days, then returns to normal.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Also I'm draining my prostate 1-2 times a day by massage.

Any help appreciated.
