How does a sitz bath treat prostatitis?

Patient's question:

I want to ask what part the perineum refers to. Thank you. First question supplement: I saw that taking a bath can treat prostatitis, and it involves the perineum. You mentioned it professionally, but I still don't understand. I want to ask if the penis also needs to be placed in warm water, and are the testicles also placed in the water? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Warm water sitz baths are very helpful for treating prostatitis. Warm water sitz baths can promote blood circulation and facilitate the resolution of inflammation, thereby alleviating symptoms and shortening the course of the disease. This is also the basic principle of physical therapy.
The treatment of prostatitis cannot rely solely on warm water sitz baths. Warm water sitz baths can only help alleviate the condition but not cure the inflammation. On the basis of warm water sitz baths, it is recommended to take Yu Zhi Yuan tablets for daily regulation. Yu Zhi Yuan is rich in protein zinc, protein selenium, and protein. Taking it for 2 months can provide men with zinc, selenium, and protein, promoting the killing of prostatitis bacteria and eliminating the condition.
However, this method is not suitable for individuals planning to have children, those with varicocele, or those with acute infections of the urinary and reproductive systems. It is best to seek professional urological treatment for prostatitis to ensure safety.
