Patient's question:
I have chronic bacterial prostatitis, but I don't know whether to use cool water for sitz baths or hot water with cold water for sitz baths.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the etiology of prostatitis is complex, especially since the symptoms of chronic prostatitis are diverse, the causes are obscure, diagnosis is difficult, and medication is hard to reach the affected area. This easily leads to chronic prostatitis being difficult to treat, with frequent relapses. Adopting a treatment method that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as physical therapy, can achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes. That is, based on test results and the nature of prostatitis, determine the sensitive medication, use an adequate dosage, and implement treatment according to the prescribed course. At the same time, selectively combine physical methods such as microwave, shortwave, guided fusion, multi-functional, and injection. It is recommended to visit a professional urological hospital's prostatitis specialty for follow-up to identify the specific cause, so that targeted treatment can be adopted!
