What is the correct way to treat prostatitis?

For patients with prostatitis, sitz bath methods usually include warm water sitz bath, herbal sitz bath, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Warm water sitz bath

patients need to choose warm water at 37-40 degrees Celsius, and the water depth needs to be kept at a depth that can submerge the patient's perineum. It is usually recommended that the sitz bath time be 15-20 minutes, not too long, so as not to cause dry skin or local edema.

2. Herbal sitz bath

patients can add Chinese medicines such as Cortex Phellodendri, Radix Rehmanniae, Flos Lonicerae, etc. in warm water according to the doctor's advice, which can relieve pain and swelling caused by prostatitis and help promote inflammatory reaction to subside.

After sitz bath, patients need to wipe the affected area with a soft towel to ensure that the affected area is dry and reduce the risk of pathogen breeding.
