Instructions on how to use a sitz bathHere’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up and use a sitz bath:Fill a cleaned and disinfected sitz bath basin or tub with two to three inches of water. You want the water to come up only to your hips when you sit down. Using a specialized basin that fits on top of a toilet is easier than using a tub, since you won’t have to take your clothes off.Use warm (not hot) water. Some women prefer cool water in their sitz bath — especially since cool water tends to reduce swelling more effectively than warm water.Experts recommend soaking once a day for up to 20 minutes max. If there are stitches in the perineum, too much soaking can cause the tissues to break down and the stitches to fall apart, so be sure to ask your practitioner for a recommendation.Some health care providers suggest adding Epsom salts, witch hazel, lavender oil or chamomile oil for extra relief, though there isn’t much evidence that they help with healing or pain.When you’re done, pat the area dry with a soft, clean towel, or use a hairdryer on cool setting. (You'll want to keep the area as dry as possible, especially if you have stitches). Don’t rub — that’ll only increase your soreness.Statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.
