Can sitz baths cause men to never have children?

The statement that “sitz baths will cause men to never be able to have children” is incorrect. Sitz bath therapy is a common clinical treatment for chronic prostatitis and urinary tract infections. Sitz bath therapy is mainly refers to the basin in the water temperature of 30 ~ 40 degrees of warm water, will be placed on their own buttocks in the water, the specific time control in about 20 minutes, 1 ~ 2 times a day. The time of sitz bath should be careful not to be too long, otherwise the localization of immersion will be in a state of bruising. At the same time, it is recommended that the male scrotum and testicles are placed outside the basin, otherwise, once the scrotum and testicles are subjected to prolonged hot water immersion, it may damage the spermatogenic function of the patient’s testicles, and may even cause male infertility. Warm water sitz bath therapy can reduce the patient’s local inflammation, promote absorption, and then make the edema state of the prostate gland eliminated. To summarize, sitz bath generally does not affect fertility, if there is any discomfort, please consult a doctor in time.
