The Sitz bath is taken by sitting in a tub containing hot water.
This results in soothing of prostate and relief in symptoms.
The treatment of prostatitis depends upon the the type of prostatitis one is suffering from.
Acute bacterial prostatitis requires anti biotic treatment of 7 to 14 days in general while chronic bacterial prostatitis requires antibiotic treatment ranging from 4 to 12 weeks,however in some chronic cases low dose anti biotic therapy may be given for 4 to 6 months.
Be in regular touch with your treating doctor and abide by his instructions.
Best of luck
Thanks
