Sitz bath: relieves, cares for, and transforms your well-being

At the Institute of Coloproctology, we believe that care begins with the details. One of those measures, simple yet profoundly effective, is the sitz bath. This traditional technique, supported by clinical experience, has proven to be a valuable ally in proctologic and gynecologic recovery processes, as well as in daily self-care.

What is a sitz bath?

It is a partial immersion practice that consists of sitting in a container with warm water, covering the pelvic and perianal region. It is not a full-body bath, but a localized one with therapeutic purposes. It may be used with water alone or with natural products recommended by a healthcare professional.

What is it used for?

The sitz bath is indicated to relieve:

• Internal or external hemorrhoids.
• Anal fissures.
• Perianal irritation or itching.
• Postpartum pain, especially after episiotomy or perineal tears.
• Recovery after anorectal or gynecological surgeries.

Real benefits of the sitz bath:

• Relieves pain and inflammation.
• Relaxes the sphincters and reduces muscle spasms.
• Improves hygiene without irritating sensitive tissues.
• Provides a sensation of freshness and comfort.
• Contributes to emotional well-being by providing immediate relief.

How to perform it correctly:

1. Use a special tray such as the Bandeja Prana by Global Corpo. Place it over the toilet.
2. Fill with 500 to 1000 mL of warm water (milk temperature). Never hot water.
3. Add 30 mL of Calm Tonic (measured with the dosing cup).
4. Sit comfortably for 15 to 20 minutes.
5. You may use the included bulb to create bubbles and enhance the relaxing effect.
6. After finishing, gently pat dry without rubbing.

Cleaning the kit: Wash the tray with a soft cloth, water, and mild detergent. This ensures its hygiene and durability.

At the Institute of Coloproctology, we recommend the sitz bath as part of a comprehensive wellness strategy. It is safe, easy to perform at home, and provides real relief. If you have any questions, schedule an appointment with our specialists.
