Prostatitis is a common urinary disease caused by various complex factors. Main clinical symptoms are urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain. Prostatitis ranks the first place among male patients under 50 years old in urology clinic. In treatment of chronic prostatitis, many doctors would recommend patients to take hot bath at home as an assistant treatment. But, other doctors give oppose view about hot bath. So, is the hot bath helpful or not for prostatitis? Wuhan Dr. Lee TCM Clinic will answer your questions. Dr. Lee said that patients with chronic prostatitis have got an obstructed blood circulation around prostate area. Obstructed blood circulation leads to prostatic hyperaemia and congestion, metabolites cannot be eliminated normally. Accumulated metabolites block the prostatic ductules, hold the prostatic secreta in and lead to ductule swelling and inflammation and a series of symptoms. Hot bath can increase local temperature, relax muscles, dilate blood vessels and accelerate blood circulation. Improved blood circulation helps promote the dissipation and absorption of local inflammatory exudates, and makes patients feel warm and comfortable, alleviates clinical symptoms. It is an effective and economical method for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. However, the water temperature of hot bath is not the higher the better. Excessive temperature will affect the spermatogenic function of testis, and cause damage to sperm, thus affecting fertility. So, what is the right method of taking a hot bath? In a large basin, add nearly half a basin of warm water. Adjust the water temperature to 30 ~ 40℃, and sit into the basin. Generally, the hot bath time should be 20 minutes or so. Hot water can be added to maintain the temperature in the middle. But be sure to get out of the basin before you add the hot water to prevent burning. Take a hot bath 1 to 2 times daily during the treatment until prostatitis is cured. Remember, the water temperature should not be higher than 40℃. Hot bath is only an adjuvant treatment for chronic prostatitis. The key to cure chronic prostatitis is symptomatic treatment with correct Medicine.
