Can patients with prostatitis take a sitz bath?

Patient's question:

Hello, patients with prostatitis. After frequently practicing hydrotherapy (sitting in a bath), you have noticed that when you have a slight sexual desire, a significant amount of mucus flows from the urethral opening, and when you have a bowel movement, white liquid flows from the urethral opening. What could be the reason for this? To know, before you started practicing hydrotherapy regularly, you did not have these symptoms!

Doctor's answer:

The patient was diagnosed with prostatitis. After implementing a sitz bath with warm water, there was a slight increase in libido, leading to a significant amount of mucus discharge from the urethral opening. During bowel movements, there was also white fluid discharge from the urethral opening. The recommendation for the patient is that their current condition is still likely caused by prostatitis, and it is advisable to seek systematic treatment for prostatitis at a formal hospital. Prostatitis patients can, while understanding formal treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it is best to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and try not to overeat or binge drink.
