Sitz Bath Soak

Warm soak that increases blood flow and reduces swelling. Two to three times daily.

A sitz bath is a shallow basin that fits over your toilet and lets you soak your perineal area in warm water mixed with healing salts. It increases blood flow to the area, reduces swelling, and provides a few minutes of genuine relief during a period when nothing feels comfortable. Do it two to three times a day for the first two weeks — your body is healing from something significant.
