Therapeutic effect
 

Liquid water can fully contact with various parts of the body and transmit physical and chemical stimuli to achieve the therapeutic effect.
 

Water has large specific heat, large heat capacity, and strong thermal conductivity. The warming effect of hydrotherapy can dilate and congestion blood vessels, promote blood circulation and metabolism, reduce nerve excitability, reduce pain, and relieve spasm. A warm water bath has a sedative effect.
 

No matter the temperature stimulation is applied in the local part or the whole body, renal vessels will expand with the expansion of skin vessels, active congestion occurs, so the urine volume increases; however, during long-term heat treatment, due to excessive sweating, the urine volume decreases.
 

Under cold therapy, urine is increased initially due to smaller vessel caliber and oliguria, followed by vasodilatation. Prolonged immersion in warm or flat warm water (1-2 hours) dilates renal vessels and has a diuretic effect. This increase in output is the result of a significant improvement in blood circulation.

 

Whole-body warm water bath can cause the increase of body fluid viscosity and specific gravity, hemoglobin increased by 14%, red blood cells increased by more than one million, white blood cells also increased, the oxidative process accelerated, basal metabolic rate increased.
 

Coldwater bath increases fat metabolism, gas metabolism, and blood circulation, promotes the absorption of nutrients; systemic hydrotherapy can cause changes in the quality of blood. It is generally believed that such changes in blood composition are not an absolute increase in quantity, but a result of changes in the distribution status of blood.
 

During hydrotherapy, formed elements in the saving organs enter the blood circulation. The local blood circulation of the prostate can also increase the permeability of prostate gland vesicle and the phagocytic function of white blood cells, not only can promote the discharge of local metabolites wastes of prostate, in order to facilitate the elimination of inflammation and the softening of scar tissue, thereby alleviating the symptoms of patients.
 

Although hydrotherapy is beneficial to patients with chronic prostatitis and may accelerate the exclusion of inflammatory substances, the efficacy is limited.
