The correct way for men to take a sitz bath

Although prostatitis is not a fatal disease, it will affect normal work and life, and in more serious cases, it will have a great impact on the harmony between husband and wife. The general treatment of prostate is mainly based on long-term antibiotics. However, in addition to the basic medication, spending 15 minutes "squatting" every day can actually alleviate the symptoms of prostatitis. So what is the proper way for men to take a bath?

Of course, the "squatting" here has its own significance, that is, warm water sitting bath.

Warm water bath for prostatitis

The main cause of prostatitis is bacterial infection or long-term prostate hematoma, so the key to treating prostatitis is to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Sitting in warm water can accelerate the blood circulation and metabolism of the part, allowing the body's antigens to be transmitted to the prostate, which is beneficial to reduce inflammation and eliminate edema.

Warm water bath method should be appropriate

There is a certain technique to take a warm water sitz bath. If you don't do it right, you may end up losing more than you gain.

1. Control the temperature. The temperature should be controlled at around 40°C. If the temperature is too low, the blood circulation system will not be effectively affected. If the temperature is too high, it will damage the sexual organs and even cause necrospermia.

2. Cooperate with moderate massage. Massage can effectively stimulate the blood vessels near the prostate, accelerate blood circulation, and take the inflammation out of the body. However, patients with subacute bacterial prostatitis should not undergo massage.

3. The cotton towel should be special and sterilized. The cotton towel used for washing after bathing should be separated from other cotton towels. For patients with bacterial prostatitis, the cotton towel should be disinfected after each use for easy reuse.

Other functions of warm water bath

In addition to treating prostatitis, warm water sitz bath is also a very good daily health care method, which can prevent the occurrence of various diseases to a certain extent.

1. Remove urine scale.

For some men with long foreskin, if they don't pay attention to cleaning, the residual white flakes and sweat can easily form urine scale, which may damage the foreskin and cause infection in the long run. In this case, having sex will continue to seriously harm the health of your partner. By taking a warm water bath, the stratum corneum can be removed to a certain extent, thereby protecting the foreskin from infection.

2. Prevent hemorrhoids.

Regular warm water sitz baths can reduce the infection of bacteria and germs, maintain the health of the lower body, and alleviate the incidence of hemorrhoids. For people who already have hemorrhoids, warm water sitz baths can also be used to improve blood circulation and accelerate blood circulation.

3. Enhance sexual impulse.

For those with impotence, warm water sitz bath can invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, enhance the transport of nutrients in the blood, stimulate the activity of the male genitals, and thus enhance sexual impulse.
