2. Prostatitis is prevalent in male patients during
young adulthood, with urethral irritation
symptoms and chronic pelvic pain as the main
clinical manifestations. The main causes of
prostatitis are bacterial infection or prolonged
prostate congestion. Therefore, the key to
treating prostatitis is to reduce inflammation
and relieve pain.

3. Warm sitz baths are an effective self-
treatment method for prostatitis patients
because prostatitis is mainly manifested as
a decrease in local immunity or immune
function disorders. The human body's
immune function is significantly related to
blood circulation. Warm sitz baths are heat
therapy in disguise through localized
heating. It can promote local blood
circulation, thereby changing the local
immune state and effectively improving
the patient's prostate inflammation and
pain symptoms.

5. Pour warm water of about 40-42° into the sitz
baths tub; the patient undresses and sits his
buttocks in the tub; the water submerges the
buttocks and perineum, and the patient holds up
the scrotum. Keep the water warmed at about 41°
for 15 to 30 minutes.

6. The warm
water sitz
baths
method for
prostatitis
requires
two things:
Firstly, the warm water
sitz baths method is for
patients with chronic
bacterial and
nonbacterial prostatitis.
For acute prostatitis
patients, warm water
sitz baths will increase
the spread of
inflammation, so warm
water sitz baths are
unsuitable for them.

7. Secondly, the warm water sitz baths method should be appropriate:
1. Control the water temperature. Water temperature should be
controlled at about 41 ℃; the temperature is too low to achieve the
effect of blood circulation, and the temperature is too high, which will
hurt the genitals and even cause oligozoospermia.

8. 2. Combined with appropriate massage. Massage can effectively
stimulate the blood vessels around the prostate, accelerate blood
circulation, and remove inflammation from the body. However, acute
bacterial prostatitis patients are not suitable for massage.
3. The towel should be dedicated and sterilized. The towel used for
wiping after sitz baths should be used separately from other towels. For
patients with bacterial prostatitis, towels should be sterilized and
disinfected after each use to use them again.

9. Water sitz baths, as a common self-
therapy, can help patients alleviate
symptoms of prostatitis. However,
patients should take medications to
treat prostatitis under medical
supervision. Antibiotics are currently
the main treatment. In addition,
traditional Chinese medicine, such as
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, is
also very effective in treating
prostatitis.

10. The herbs in the pill can penetrate the prostate membrane and reach the
lesions directly, eliminating the inflammation from the root cause and
restoring normal prostate function without producing side effects such as
drug resistance and tolerance.

11. In addition to medication,
patients can prevent and
care for prostatitis in the
following ways.

12. The location of the prostate determines
that a man is sitting on the prostate to a
large extent, so men who are often
sedentary have a heavier burden on the
prostate. Sitting for a long time slows
down blood circulation, leading to
chronic congestion and stasis in the
prostate, localized metabolite
accumulation, obstruction of the
prostate gland ducts, and poor
excretion of glandular fluids, leading to
chronic prostatitis.

14. The rate of acute prostatitis is as high as 89.7% for those
with frequent sex within a short period. On the contrary,
abstaining from sex causes the prostate gland to produce
a large amount of hoarding, over time leading to
excessive expansion of the prostate gland, and
congestion can also lead to inflammation. In addition, in
vitro ejaculation, interruption of sexual life, etc.,
can cause prostate congestion and swelling and lead to
inflammation.
