sitz baths
Shallow therapeutic soaks
Sitz baths are shallow baths in which only the hips and buttocks are immersed in warm water.
The practice soothes discomfort from hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or postpartum healing.
A sitz bath may use a basin that fits over a toilet seat or simply a few inches of water in a regular bathtub: The doctor recommended sitz baths three times a day.
