Sitz bath help with hemorrhoids??


Conyers

Are sitz baths really all that helpful?I've been readign contradicting information on the treatment of hemorrhoids lately. On the one hand, a lot of sources say that sitz baths are really helpful and they recommend doing them 2-4 times daily. On the other hand, a lot of sources say that you shouldn't sit on the toilet for too long because that put more pressure on the hemorrhoids. I've been doing the baths and the latter seems to be correct. I feel a lot more discomfort and the situation seems to be worsening. Am I doing anything wrong??

Don't strain, or sit on the potty for long periods, keep the area as clean and dry as possible. Fiber, prunes, help, lots of water. An anti-inflammatory, and preparation H, there are also, "wipes" that you leave on the area for a short time, they help cool and soothe the area.
