A sitz bath is a method of sitting in warm water to relieve pain or swelling in the anus or vaginal opening. Your doctor may advise you to take a sitz bath if you have hemorrhoids or anal fissures, or you recently had a vaginal birth and had tissue damage. Regardless of the area to be treated, a sitz bath is an effective and gentle way to soothe a wound. Although there are specialized tools, you can use a regular bath. This article will show you how to take a sitz bath both ways.
Steps
Bathing in the bathtub

Rinse the bathtub. You’ll be amazed how dirty a bathtub can be for a body cleanse! This therapy is intended to heal damaged tissue, so you need to make sure the environment is sterile.
- Use a bleach-based cleaner to disinfect your tub before you begin.
- Scrub the tub thoroughly to be sure to remove soap and other products that have built up on the tub surface.
- Flush the tub thoroughly to remove soap and cleaning products.

Determine the water temperature. It is very important that the water used for sitting baths is warm but not so hot that it burns. The temperature of the water must not cause discomfort leading to irritation or inflammation. Warm water will increase blood circulation to damaged tissues, speeding up the healing process for the body. [1] X Research Source
- Dip your finger in water, or put a few drops of water on the sensitive skin on your wrist to check the temperature.

Turn on the water in the bathtub so that the water level reaches about 7.5 – 10 cm. Close the tub tightly to prevent water from draining out, then turn on the water until the water covers the area of the body being treated.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-4- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add a few additives to the water if desired. You don’t need to add anything to the water, as the warm temperature alone is enough to make you more comfortable. However, there are many things that you can add to your bath water to treat various problems. Ask your doctor for advice about substances that can be added to bath water.
- Salt is usually a good addition to any sitz bath, no matter the reason. Turn the water on the bath to a slightly higher temperature and add ¼ cup of salt. Stir well until the salt dissolves, then let the water cool down to a comfortable level.
- If you have vaginitis, add ½ cup of vinegar to the salt water.
- Herbal solutions are great for treating hemorrhoids as well as tissue damage, such as after childbirth. [2] X Research Source Add ½ cup epsom salt, 2 tablespoons baking soda, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) witch hazel, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, 8 drops lavender essential oil, 8 Drops of chamomile essential oil in bath water.

Soak in the bath. Make sure the affected area is submerged in warm water, soak for at least 15-30 minutes.
- Add more warm water to keep the temperature warm if needed.

Pat dry after soaking. After a sitz bath, you need to be very gentle with the damaged tissue, so don’t rub as you dry as you normally would. Use a soft and clean towel to pat dry.
- Rubbing or rubbing can cause further irritation and damage.
Use a bath set
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/69/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/69/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-7- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy a bathing suit. You can find bathing suits in the wellness section of a supermarket or drugstore. If you can’t find a bathing suit near where you live, you can easily buy it online.
- The sitz bath set includes a tub that can fit in the toilet; a bag of solution for making bath water; a plastic tube to spray water and a clamp to control the flow of water through the tube.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fa/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fa/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-8- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wash the basin. Even if the sitz bath is still in its original packaging, you still need to make sure the damaged tissues are not exposed to germs. Thoroughly wash the basin with a detergent containing bleach. Scrub thoroughly and rinse with clean water.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f5/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f5/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-9- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Install the shower set. Once it’s installed, you can just sit back and relax while the sitz bath is working, but you have to install it first.
- Place the tube through the hole in the pot to guide the solution down. See the instructions that came with the kit if you have trouble locating the tube hole.
- Thread the tube to the center of the pot and clip it to the perineum. See diagram on instruction sheet if necessary.
- Use clamps to cut off the flow of water through the pipe; You probably don’t want the water to leak out before you’re ready!
- Pour warm water into the solution bag or whatever solution you want to use to treat the damaged tissue.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/93/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/93/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-10- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Attach the basin and solution bag to the correct position. Open the toilet, place the basin on the inner edge of the toilet. It’s best to hang the solution bag on a hook, but it’s important to set it up high so the solution can drip down.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5f/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5f/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-11- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Sit in the pot. You may have to adjust a bit to find a comfortable position. You can correct your posture during the treatment to ensure there is no discomfort.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d9/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d9/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-12- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open the water pipe. Open the clamp used to hold the solution in the bag hanging overhead. The faucet in the perineum starts to spray, so you need to adjust to ensure that the bath water is sprayed on the area of the lesion that is in need of treatment. You can adjust the sitting position or adjust the faucet.
- If you need to adjust the faucet, remember to use a clamp to stop the flow of water. Otherwise, the water will spill out!
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3c/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3c/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-13- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Relax. If working properly, the solution in the bag will flow out slowly rather than all at once, so you will have a few minutes of relaxation in the spray. Even after the solution in the bag has run out and the faucet has stopped flowing, you can still soak for as long as you like.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Take-a- Sitz-Bath-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-14- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Take-a-Sitz-Bath-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pat dry after soaking. After a sitz bath, you need to be very gentle with the damaged tissue, so don’t wipe as usual. Use a clean, soft towel to blot until dry.
- Rubbing and rubbing can cause further irritation and damage.
