Patient's question:
Before, when I was using the restroom, I often felt a bit uncomfortable in my lower body. I went to see a doctor, and the doctor said I have prostatitis. I have been relying on medication to treat it. It is said that sitz baths can help treat prostatitis. Doctor, can sitz baths treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The patient has discomfort in the lower body, which is considered to be prostatitis. Warm water sitz baths can be used to alleviate it. Prostatitis may recur with symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. It is classified as bacterial or non-bacterial. Prostate fluid can be extracted for testing, and the diagnosis can be made based on the results. During treatment, it is important to drink more water and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The daily treatment for prostate patients primarily involves symptomatic medication. The patient can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular sleep patterns and abstinence from alcohol. We hope that prostate patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
