Patient's question:
I am a patient with prostatitis. Recently, I have been practicing frequent sitz baths. After the sitz baths, I noticed a significant amount of white liquid oozing from the urethral opening during bowel movements. Additionally, when I have a slightly heightened sexual desire, there is a considerable amount of mucus discharge from the urethral opening. Before practicing frequent sitz baths, there was also mucus discharge from the urethral opening when I had a strong sexual desire, but the amount of mucus was much less than it is now.Hello, what could be the reason for my condition? Hello, how could sitz baths lead to the relief of prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
For prostatitis, warm sitz baths are a form of physical therapy. However, this treatment will not alleviate prostatitis. Regarding the liquid discharge you mentioned, it is normal physiological discharge of prostatic fluid and not a sign of inflammation relief. Focusing on the treatment as described is sufficient—no need to worry!The daily treatment for prostatitis patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications while supplementing with vitamins and paying attention to their diet, consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that prostatitis patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
