First of all, we need to know what hot water sitz bath is. Shenzhen Shuguang andrology expert said that hot water sitz bath can be carried out at home without special equipment, which is simple and convenient, and it is an auxiliary measure to treat chronic prostatitis. The specific method is to add nearly half a basin of water to the big basin, and the patient will sit his hips in the basin after defecation. Generally, the water temperature is 40-42℃, and the time of sitting bath is 15-30 minutes. You can heat water in the middle, keep the water temperature, take a bath 1-2 times a day, and insist on treatment until prostatitis is cured. The principle of hot water sitz bath is very simple, which can increase the local temperature of patients, relax muscles, dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation, promote the dissipation and absorption of local inflammatory exudates, make patients feel warm and comfortable, and relieve clinical symptoms.

Hot water sitz bath has advantages and disadvantages.

Because hot water sitz bath may have adverse effects on patients' testes, it should generally be forbidden for unmarried and childless young men, because long-term hot water sitz bath will increase the temperature of testes, thus hindering the spermatogenic function of testes. Therefore, each treatment method should be based on the patient's own situation, and the treatment method should not be chosen unilaterally.
