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 sitz bath is very helpful for treating prostatitis. Warm sitz bath 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 sitz bath. Warm sitz bath can only relieve the condition but not cure the inflammation. On the basis of warm sitz bath, it is recommended to take Yuzhiyuan tablets for daily regulation. Yuzhiyuan is rich in protein zinc, protein selenium, and protein. Taking it for 2 months can supplement men with zinc, selenium, and protein, promoting the killing of prostatic bacteria and eliminating prostatitis.
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.
