Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found that I have prostatitis. My colleague saw me and said that he heard from someone that taking a hot bath at night can help with prostatitis. I'd like to ask, does taking a bath help with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Taking a hot bath is beneficial for the complete recovery of the prostate because warm water soaking the perineum can improve blood circulation and accelerate the resolution of prostatitis inflammation. Therefore, it is helpful for the complete recovery of prostatitis. If you suffer from prostatitis, it is recommended that you engage in appropriate activities after sitting for a long time and take a warm sitz bath for ten minutes every night. Avoid consuming spicy foods and frequent heavy drinking.
