Bathing with prostatitis

Hypothermia is the first factor due to which prostatitis and more can develop. Hypothermia is dangerous for a man by inflammation of the organs of the genitourinary system. Urologists have proven that in the winter months men most often have problems with the health of the genitourinary system. Among these men, a larger percentage are walruses, the rest are patients with a chronic course of the disease. And if a man with such a pathology decided to swim in the winter, then he cannot escape the aggravation of the disease.

How cold water affects the prostate

Is it possible for men to swim with prostatitis in cold water? Hypothermia is one of the reasons why men get prostatitis, with prostatitis, which has already bothered the male personality at least once, a chronic process of the disease is possible, which means that cold water can exacerbate the pathology.

Due to hypothermia, the body temperature decreases, which leads to a decrease in the activity of leukocytes. This phenomenon turns into a drop in immunity. Viruses with bacteria, on the contrary, begin their activity during the cooling period. The chronic course of pathology during the period of inflammation is called sluggish. The influence of cold in this situation is a catalyst in which an acute inflammatory process.

Healthy men in this version can tolerate hypothermia without incident, patients with chronic prostatitis are susceptible to even the slightest cold, and cold water is just their enemy, which leads to a severe course of the disease. Therefore, in order to swim in a cold pond, a man must be 100% confident in the strength of his male health.

What can happen due to hypothermia

Hypothermia in the chronic course of inflammation of the prostate gland leads to an exacerbation, expressed by the following symptoms:

• high temperature from 30 degrees;
• the patient is shivering;
• withdrawal;
• severe pain syndrome in the lower peritoneum;
• pain in the perineal area;
• painful intercourse;
• impaired erection;
• intermittent jet when emitting urine;
• sometimes purulent or bloody traces in the urine;

There is an opinion that a minute stay in ice-cold water will not only do no harm, but will also cure all kinds of diseases.

For any hypothermia, a decrease in immunity occurs, in this case, one minute of cold is enough, which will lead to an inflammatory process.

For this reason, urologists are opposed to men plunging into ice water, not to mention those patients who have a chronic stage of prostatitis. A healthy man can provoke an illness, and a sick man can aggravate it.

How bathing can affect the prostatitis patient

If a man suffers from prostatitis, can he be doused with ice water? Doctors categorically prohibit such procedures. Any inflammatory process in the human body develops under the influence of cold water. In particular, in men, the prostate is affected.

With increased heat transfer in cold water, hypothermia occurs, which creates favorable conditions for the activation of bacteria. With reduced immunity, an exacerbation of the infectious process occurs, which is a provocateur to damage neighboring organ cells.

Exposure to warm water

Warm water, on the contrary, treats chronic pathology, and during rehabilitation in sanatoriums, men are recommended to swim in the healing waters with high temperatures.

Swimming in the sea, sand and baths

Many men have one question, is it allowed to visit the sauna or bathhouse with an adenoma or an inflamed prostate gland. Some men are allowed to visit both baths and saunas, but you need to adhere to some rules.

• You can stay in the steam room for no more than two minutes.
• You can visit the bathhouse no more than once a week.
• The total time spent visiting the steam room should not exceed 20 minutes.
• Break between visits to steam rooms for half an hour.
• Do not douse yourself with cold water or wipe yourself off with snow.
• Water for rinsing should not be less than 30 degrees.
• During an exacerbation of the pathological process, visiting baths and saunas is strictly prohibited.

Long-term procedures carried out in a bath or sauna can provoke impairment of the functioning of the testicles and prostate.

Sports activities

Active outdoor sports can also provoke an inflammatory process of the prostate gland. However, this does not mean that sports are harmful to men's health. Active movements prevent stagnation (blood stagnation), as well as after the penetration of bacteria, viruses, microorganisms.

Experts recommend that men do gymnastic exercises, go to the pool, run, play football, basketball, volleyball.

Pool & Sea Vacation

Before visiting the pool, a man should visit a urologist to find out the possibility of visiting the pool.

Before going to the sea, you need to consult a urologist. While on vacation, men should take contrast treatments. This means that after arriving in the sun and being on the hot sand, immersion in a cold spring is prohibited. Dives should be measured. Since the body will not overheat, the prostate will not heat up either.

Bath use

Hydroprocessing and bathing are considered effective methods of treating prostate diseases. The appointment of water procedures for inflammation of the prostate is carried out by a urologist after the main history and examination.

It is recommended to take medicinal baths, which not only warm up the organ, but also heal. For this, medicinal herbal infusions are added to the baths. Specialists can prescribe microclysters with medicinal formulations. The best treatment effect is achieved with a combination therapy prescribed by a urologist.

How to swim with chronic prostatitis

If the patient is diagnosed with a sluggish course of prostatitis, swimming in the pool is allowed.

Only a few recommendations are worth noting:

• stay in water should not be more than half an hour;
• the total duration of water procedures is about an hour;
• swimming trunks must always be clean;
• bath linen should be washed after being in the pool (to avoid infection);
• swim should be moderate, without overexertion;
• after the pool, the body is washed with a cool stream, then a warmer, hot shower is prohibited;
• pool visits should not be more than twice a week.

Even a healthy man in icy water risks getting prostatitis from hypothermia. And patients with a chronic course of pathology can get a strong exacerbation.
