Hot water bath can prevent prostatitis?

Hot water sitz bathing can prevent prostatitis to a certain extent and can help relieve the symptoms of prostatitis, but it cannot cure prostatitis.

Hot water sitz bathing can increase local temperature and speed up blood circulation. For people who are often sedentary, appropriate hot water sitz bathing can help prevent hemorrhoids, anal fissures, prostatitis and other diseases. Secondly, hot water sitz bathing can relax pelvic floor muscles, thereby relieving difficulties in urination, pain, swelling and other discomforts caused by prostatitis. However, hot water sitz bathing cannot remove the cause, so it cannot cure prostatitis.

In addition to hot water sitz bathing, patients with prostatitis must cooperate with a doctor for standardized treatment. In addition, the temperature and time of hot water sitz bathing should also be controlled to prevent damage to local skin.
