1, male sitz bath is more beneficial to health.
Shower has been integrated into our life for a long time, but hot water sitz bath before vulva washing and after anus washing has gradually faded out of people's lives. But you should know that because modern people are sedentary, we should vigorously promote this "traditional" reproductive health care technology among the public, especially men.
Sitting bath is not simply sitting in the bathtub, it is a commonly used treatment in medicine. Sitting in a basin of water with appropriate temperature 15-20 minutes is very beneficial to male reproductive health. The main ways are as follows:
Wash vulva before. The male anterior vulva mainly refers to the external genitalia. For people with long foreskin, without special cleaning, pieces of white scales will form after a long time. After the scales become hard, they may wear out the foreskin and cause infection, and even turn into carcinogens, inducing the partner's cervical cancer and leading to their own Tintin cancer. And sitting bath vulva can wash away dirt, and if combined with anti-infection treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine, it can also help cure chronic prostatitis.
Wash thighs and buttocks. Sedentary working conditions are quite common among office workers and drivers. Especially in the hot summer, there are quite a few men who come to see a doctor because of the repeated attacks of "sitting sore" caused by hip friction. In fact, if these patients often sit in the hip bath with warm water or cold water, and dry the vulva and hip with a dry and soft towel after bathing, fungal infection can be reduced, blood circulation in this part can be promoted, and "sitting sores" can be avoided. However, people with tinea cruris and eczema should avoid scalding with hot water to avoid aggravating symptoms.
After washing the anus. As the saying goes, "Ten men have nine hemorrhoids". When hemorrhoids attack, it is difficult for men to sit and lie down, and even when it is serious, the pain is unbearable and the blood flow is DC. In fact, hemorrhoids are mainly caused by local congestion in the anus. Taking a bath with hot water regularly every day and consciously contracting the anus can enhance the function of anal sphincter, improve local blood flow, soften local tissues and greatly alleviate the problem of hemorrhoids.
Massage the prostate. Clinically, nocturia is common in middle-aged and elderly people. In fact, this is a symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia. If you take a warm bath every 5-7 days while taking the medicine, you can stabilize your condition and relieve symptoms and pain. You can also gently massage the prostate when taking a bath. In the daily diet, we should pay attention to avoid drinking and coffee.
Old people who are insensitive should avoid scalding when taking a bath. You can try to take a bath with cold water in summer to enhance local blood circulation.
Bath towels should be used by special personnel, cleaned with soap regularly, exposed to the sun or boiled for disinfection. Towels and tubs should be kept in a cool and ventilated place.
