Patient's question:
Last night after taking a bath, my glans became particularly red. I have prostatitis and my erections are not firm. I occasionally get morning erections once.Doctor's answer:
The reason it's red is because soaking in a hot bath increases local blood circulation. This is a normal phenomenon. Prostatitis usually causes frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. Your symptoms don't seem to match this, so I recommend stabilizing your unhealthy lifestyle—avoid watching stimulating movies, don't wear leather pants or underwear, and pay attention to rest. You can take hot baths irregularly. If you experience frequent urination, urgency, or pain during urination again, you should have your prostatic fluid tested. There are many treatments for prostatitis, but since patients have different symptoms, the diagnostic methods used also vary. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examinations and diagnoses to receive appropriate treatment.
