As the saying goes, nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids, so it is clear that the incidence of hemorrhoids is very high, and the occurrence of hemorrhoids poses a great threat to our health. So how do we treat hemorrhoids? Experts say that sitz baths have a remarkable effect on the treatment of hemorrhoids. So what details should you pay attention to with regard to hemorrhoid sitz bath therapy? The following is an introduction to the specific practice of hemorrhoid sitz bath therapy. The first thing you need to do is to clean up after the stool to prevent bacterial infection of the perianal area, after cleaning up to take a sitz bath, there are three ways to take a sitz bath, one is a light salt water sitz bath, one is a pepper water sitz bath, the other is a potassium permanganate sitz bath. Light salt water with a teaspoon can be, and not too much, pepper to 10:1 ratio of boiling water fumigation. Potassium permanganate 5000:1 ratio sitz bath, sitz bath temperature control at about 40 degrees, many people blindly think that the higher the temperature is good for sterilization, in fact, this is wrong, the temperature is too high but more likely to damage the perianal mucosa, sitz bath time control in 10-20 minutes. A study showed that patients who took a sitz bath for 5 minutes had a better cleaning and sterilization effect compared to those who took a sitz bath for 20 minutes. This is because the sitz bath treatment involves the addition of potassium permanganate, an oxidizing agent that acts as an antiseptic by releasing oxygen to destroy bacterial structures. This drug will evaporate in about 5 minutes, the sitz bath time is too long, not only can not play a sterilizing effect, but also cause the scab of the wound surface to fall off, local oozing blood, the number of colonies instead of increasing, and even lead to corrosive burns.
