Sitz Baths

for Haemorrhoids

Soaking the affected area in warm (not hot) water for 10–15 minutes two to three times daily, particularly after bowel movements.

How it works

Warm water relaxes the internal anal sphincter, reduces inflammation, improves blood circulation to the area and provides direct symptom relief.

What to watch for

Use warm not hot water to avoid burns. Pat dry gently — rubbing can irritate the area further. Plain water is as effective as Epsom salt baths.
