I have an inflamed anus due to prostatitis.i been told to take a sitz bath. i now have jacuzzi that i sat in for 15 minutes. how hot can the water be? is 101 too hot?

It's fine: Hot baths are a good idea for this problem. 101° is not typically too hot and permissible. Most people seem to shoot for baths around 102° to 104°. Anything beyond this becomes pretty uncomfortable. Let comfort direct what you do.
