Both have helped me. My spring seatpost (a Kinekt) takes about 3/4" worth of bump out. For me, this seat was a revelation:

Be warned, the above seat (i have one on my MTB) is VERY soft. I bought it for my road bike for the same reason as the OP, but after 30+ miles it started to hurt my sit bone area. After trying 6 seats I settled on this Selle Italia for my road bikes. Everyone has different preferences for comfort but this seat has just enough padding for 60+ mile rides and my prostate stays relatively happy.

I have a case of BHP, meaning my prostate is large. It was the size of a large grapefruit. Now post-surgery it had an apple sized chunk out of the inside.
I still ride a Brooks B17, Professional, Flyer, or a Cambium C19 or C17.
My Doctor said that he knows of no reason for prostate troubles due to bicycles.
A good bike fit helps to make sure you are not over stretching your leg.

If I were you, I'd change doctors.

My Doc is been in the field of Prostate health for 30+ years and has quite a few studies on prostates and.
He said that a normal prostate is hidden behind the perineal muscles, a normally a very strong muscle particularly with cyclists, and it is only a problem if the bike does not fit, potentially causing inflammation, or there is another underlying factor, BHP for example.
I know he has in the works a planned study of cyclists who have BHP or have a normal prostate to try to understand effects or not of both long-term riding or consistent long-distance riding.
So I am staying with him.

Yes, I know. I was just on another website dealing with firearms and was in a thread about the BHP, Browning High Power and the new High Power from FN.
I knew it was wrong here but my mind blanked.
