Patients with hemorrhoids can take sitz baths, which can reduce the production of hemorrhoids or slow down the development of hemorrhoids. In clinical practice, it is recommended that hemorrhoid patients take a warm water sitz bath before bedtime or after a bowel movement. First, a sitz bath can clean the skin around the anus and reduce the itching around the anus caused by the stimulation of pollutants on the skin. Secondly, the sitz bath can accelerate the blood circulation within the blood vessels of the hemorrhoids, thus improving the stasis of the hemorrhoids, which can slow down the development of the hemorrhoids. You can use a potassium permanganate solution with a ratio of 1:5000 by mass to sit in the bath for anti-inflammatory treatment when there is a local infection around the anus. When there is local impaction of hemorrhoids with edema, you can use warm salt water for a sitz bath, which is a hypertonic solution and has a therapeutic effect on decreasing swelling. Even for hemorrhoids that are usually asymptomatic, it is recommended to take a sitz bath before bedtime or after a bowel movement to reduce the acute onset of hemorrhoid symptoms or to slow down the development of hemorrhoids. In addition, patients with hemorrhoids should usually pay attention to a light diet, keep their bowels open and pay attention to the cleanliness of the anal area after a bowel movement.
