I know that you have said that the plastic sitz tubs that go on your toilet are bad but in the week since I’ve started using it, I have seen a definite improvement in my fissure pain. I was in agony with every bowel movement. I tried all of the suggestions from my doctor to keep my stool soft and still had intense pain and bleeding. I figured that the sitz bath couldn’t hurt and after a week I’ve been able to have a bowel movement with just a bit of pain. I’m 64 years old with knee replacements so having a bath isn’t an option. I’ve tried the shower method but with my knees I can only hold that position for a few minutes. I’ve also found a good video about reverse Kegal exercises and I think that has helped too. My doctor prescribed a compound ointment but the pharmacy hasn’t prepared it yet. I might not even need it if things keep improving. I’ve been struggling with this pain for almost 3 months. Today I finally feel human again. I will find your video about the plastic sitz baths and watch it. Now I’m curious about why I shouldn’t use it. LOL
Ok I watched your video and realized that you were referring to using them for hemorrhoids. I purchased the exact sitz bath that you showed first in your video. It actually has a larger opening than the toilet seat does because you put the seat up and the sitz bath is placed directly on the toilet. I do have one hemorrhoid but surprisingly it has not been bothering me at all. All I can say is that right now it has been a lifesaver for me. ❤️ I do love your videos though! Thank you for taking the time to share your information!
To anyone reading! Don’t be embarrassed go get checked!! RUclips and Google can only help so much, but remember you’re no doctor! I dealt with the excruciating pain for a week straight thinking it would go away and it only grew, went to the ER and they sent me for emergency surgery! Best decision of my life, pain instantly gone, i was actually able to walk and lay down without crying. Swallow your pride and see a doctor! It’s worth it. Thank you Dr. Chung you rlly made my process easier and helped me mentally fr, i was so scared.
Your advice is helping me a lot. FRIDAY will be 3 weeks since my surgery.I really wish I didn't do it. The pain is almost unbearable still.i am not on painkillers anymore I only had enough for 7 days.I really enjoy your channel.,YOU ARE THE BEST..WISH U WERE MY SURGEON.
Ive been searching things on piles for 2 years and only recently cane across this channel- but this is the best channel with the best information out there!!! Im so glad i eventually found it and i hope more people fond this info soon so it can help them too!
I like to lay on my bed with a heating pad after bowel movement. It relaxes my back and bottom end. Even just 10 minutes helps. I used to immediately go for a brisk walk or do aerobic exercise but I noticed that I would flare up. Just taking 10 minutes with heating pad a few times per day always is relaxing. Music, puzzle, etc. thank you for this video, I assumed Sitz baths were about cleaning silly me!!
Thanks for all your helpful advice. My boyfriend is having THD procedure tomorrow and your videos are so helpful. Wish you were doing his procedure. Your calm voice and expertise reassures me that things will be okay. Thanks for taking the time to making such thoughtful videos. It’s so greatly appreciated!
The more videos on this I watch, the more I'm convinced chronic stress is the main cause of my hemmoroids over the years. Extremely high blood pressure and over a decade of pain. Age 29
Thank you for sharing your expertise Doctor! Spoke with my mother and she said that she used a piece of lemon and it will drive them inside. I like your ideas better, thank you!
Thank you so much Dr. Chung for all your advice, I've watched many many videos, but nobody explains the way you do, even my own doctor has failed to advice me properly. I've been suffering for the last 7 years. You have such a kind and sympathetic character unlike my doctor who seems to be very frustrated from his job and is always rushing me, I find it difficult to explain to him. Many thanks for your time and effort.
I just got home from having a thrombotic hemorrhoid excised. My god! The pain. It was 2” long and 1” wide. The most painful numbing injection ever and the most painful recovery, so far. Wish I could’ve gotten the heavier duty pain med because this is brutal. I’m supposed to do sitz baths and I’m so glad I found your video because I was about to buy one of those tubs. I think I’ll choose the standing in the shower method. Thank you for sharing this. I have subscribed to your channel.
@@amberbuzzell7112 I’m so sorry you are having to suffer too. I still am. It’s been nearly three full weeks and the pain is still pretty bad. I’m still taking ibuprofen and there is no sign of letting up. I have an appointment on Friday because it seems the pain should have gone down by now. I hope you can get some relief soon.
Wish I had watched this video 1st because I definitely purchased a sitz bath. I do like it, but I also know I didn't necessarily need it. However, this will definitely become a part of my self care routine. Thank you so much for this video. Your voice is also very calming.
Currently sitting in a sitz bath trying not to cry. I’m 29 weeks pregnant and in the process of moving. While lifting a box my hemorrhoids decided to make themselves known to the outside world. No creams, suppository or anything is helping and my OB won’t return my calls (I’ve been trying to be seen for a week). I’m hoping my OB in our new city will be more responsive to my concerns, because this is so painful it makes me sweat! Thanks for the advice, it’s making this wait more bearable.
Be careful! High level of pain can increase the risk of premature birth… here is the video the doctor made for pregnant women (and my advice) hope he could do one more elaborate ruclips.net/video/2aElfJMnwnA/видео.html
@@surayyah7503 I have a beautiful 3mo old girl now! :) but I took my older two to the pediatrician a day or two later. When the pediatrician asked why I was clammy, sweaty and shaking I explained to her my problem and that I couldn’t get ahold of my OB. She called my OB, the OB called me on her personal phone and got me in that afternoon to lance it. She squeezed out a chunk of coagulated blood the size of my thumb and I got up feeling 100x better, despite the fact that she didn’t numb me up before lancing. I sashayed down that hallway on my way out, what a relief! Nobody ever tells you about the nitty gritty details of pregnancy, but unfortunately hemorrhoids fall into that
Hello doc.. ur content is really to the point n very helpful.. please make videos on how to deal with hemorrhoids in pregnancy... especially in last trimester.. what precautions to take etc etc..wud be really thank ful

Doctor Ching I appreciate your videos and learned a lot about MY POOPER. I tried the Pranicura cream and after 8 days I had to give it up. The Sitz baths help, I do them after each BM. Seeing a Board certified colorectal surgeon late next week to discuss chronic fissures and angry hemorrhoids. Not going to worry about the external one, just the bleeder.
Thanks doc. I appreciate it. Heading home soon from a long night of work. Very very rough.. a lot of sitting at my job. Trying to work on my diet as well. Hopefully I can relax soon.
Dr. Chung, thank you for your service and information. I have always medical issues but as I approach mid life my bottom area is really unhealthy. From Gluten intolerance turning in Celiac disease, hemorrhoids and anal tags, fissures and as of last week a fistula. I’m discouraged and tired of being in pain and dealing with the stigma associated with the idea of these issues meaning I’m not clean or I’m hurting myself from (insert various reasons here) . I have been in the rabbit hole of your content and finding comfort that I’m one, not alone and two, that I have information to make changes in my health. Thank you.
Ladies please listen!!! I been Suffering with a bartholin cyst for almost two years!!! I did all meds and i said no to the the different types of surgeries!! Well its 2023 and i saw a video of this youtuber discover taking turmeric capsules and it went away. Well i took three yesterday and my cust is so small and i took three more and right now and did a stream with my own condo of herbs and its almost gone! Ladies please try turmeric capsules and herb streams ❤❤
I'm on my second Perianal absess surgery, I find it best to use a clean tub with 4-6 inches of warm water with a bit of epsom salt. i take my phone with me and rest it on a small chair or stool, some nice comedy or movie passes the time swiftly. When you're done using the bathroom, or #2, I use my shower wand to do the cleanup my wipes don't, especially if you are tender down there. after cleaning downstairs area spray down the tub, to clean, and then get your sits bath going. preperation is key so you dont kill yourself in the bathroom, so have your towel, slip mats, epsom, and table/stool, phone/tablet and all Sitz bath helpers ready. Safe and swift recovery to all!
@@mamoonakshaf6044 wash the tub or how to wash once inside the tub? Also, so far so good. Have not had another "flare up" since. Once you've healed up after a month or two you have no on going effects or pain unless you have another abscess.
@@mamoonakshaf6044 just rinse the bathtub down. I usually took my sitz bath, then completed washing myself with the shower on(standing up). So you shouldnt have to wash the tub every time. Just clean the tub well before you start your first sitz bath and every week after. Good luck.
@@mamoonakshaf6044 can you put water in a 2 liter or two, let it sit out in the sun to warm up for a short shower afterward? Maybe a gallon jug, or even better a 5 gallon bucket with lid to heat up in the sun. That last rinse is important to keep infection away. I hope any of that helps you on your journey to recovery.
Very helpful video! I have some questions - 1. Is it a good idea to put potassium permanganate in the sitz bath? If yes, what should be the ratio? 2. Can I use a simple flat bottom bowl for sitz bath? If yes, will stainless steel be alright? Cheers!
Use a large plastic tub and put it in the shower. It’s hard to find at a target but I see them in Chinatown. Ideally you can sit your whole pelvic region and also not worry about spilling over. Having enough water ensures the water stays warm for over ten minutes
Hi Dr Chung , thank you so much for this amazing content . One question I have is , while in the tub should we bend or knees or should we lay our legs flat wide apart ? Thanks in advance .
I’m curious to see if anyone else has lower back issues, particularly in their SI joint? Thanks. Progressive muscle relaxation is hard if my joints in the wrong place and pelvis is torqued.
So just take a bath? What is the difference between a relaxing bath and a sitz bath? I was just about to buy the toilet sitz bath! 😂 so thanks for the info!❤
Not sure if this has been asked but would you still use soap in the Sitz bath if it is not a hemorrhoid and rather something like a fissure? Along the same line, will the toilet sitz bath now be okay to use because you're not dealing with gravity and hemorrhoid?
Hi Doc! So to clarify, we should do a sitz bath but not use a toilet bowl fitted sitz bath correct, instead we should set up a sitz bath in a bathtub where we are lying down and relaxed. So in a bathtub setting, which items should we buy in order to set up they lying down sitz bath correctly? Could you point me to some examples on amazon/or google images of good purchases to use for a sitz bath in the bathtub?
I believe sitting in your tub itself is the ideal situation. Sure, I can look up some products that may help people with sitz baths in the tub. Thanks!
@@yourfriendlyproctologist is it okay to use a giant wide bucket and sit on it . Cuz i have a deep cut due to perianal abscess drainage. And it's gonna hurt if i sit on the cut
@yourfriendlyproctologist Hi doctor, I am almost 2 weeks post-op from a simple fistulotomy and it says I should be doing 3-4 sitz baths a day for 15-20 minutes each. To me this seems abit excessive and my surgeon says its for comfort only, will doing these sitz baths help speed up the healing process or should I just stick with normal showers for hygiene and using warm bidet after bowel movements? I'll only continue with the sitz baths if they truly speed up the healing process. Thanks.
Please make a short video on best sleep position if you have a flare up or please respond to my post. I’m not sure if side or back straight on the bed is better.
Hi Doc, thank u for this useful and amazing content, I had a fistula removed about 2 weeks ago now, (my surgeon advised its completely removed) is it normal to have hardness and swelling in that area of the wound?
Hello Dr., thanks for all these videos. They sure help. In one of the comments below, you mention a hot tub. Would a public one in a gym be ok? If so, how long do you recommend sitting in the hot tub?
I had banding fone about a month ago. The last couple days my butts been in agony when i poop and blood. I am going to get in contact with tje surgeon who did the hem banding. Until then will the sitz baths help with pain?

Hi Doctor we cannot have tub bath in our bathroom because they are small. I purchased sitz bath on Amezon and in the beginning I felt good but after some days I realized it is actually making things bad so stopped using them even though I was sitting for 10 minutes only.
Hello doc. Loving your videos. Hit the subscription in the 1st video itself. I had a query. I've got a serious problem with sitz bath. I do my sitz bath in a baby pool kind of tub. But being a female my urinary tract is exposed to the bacteria in water and causing painful UTI. please talk about this in your next video as it is a gender specific problem and must have been a cause of unavoidable pain for many.
What do you recommend for someone with full ileostomy, no colon. Not a candidate for surgery. Complex fistulas and painful abscesses breaking thru buttock cheek. My docs don't even seem to understand ileostomy issues, period!
My Dr. recommended a sitz to help with my anus irritation due to radiation treatment. Week 6 and it's the inside that is really damaged. I was going to buy one today then I found this vid. I will do a little more research before purchasing. I think I may just use a heavy cotton washcloth with lukewarm water after the shower. Thanks for the info.
How many sitz bath videos are out there? Tons! But this video actually gives you helpful tips. Thanks so much for subscribing and commenting!

@yourfriendlyproctologist Hi doctor, I am almost 2 weeks post-op from a simple fistulotomy and it says I should be doing 3-4 sitz baths a day for 15-20 minutes each. To me this seems abit excessive and my surgeon says its for comfort only, will doing these sitz baths help speed up the healing process or should I just stick with normal showers for hygiene and using warm bidet after bowel movements? I'll only continue with the sitz baths if they truly speed up the healing process. Thanks.
I have a slightly prolapsed rectum idk if it’s hemorrhoids or it’s that condition but I’m in pain. All the time.
Thank you 💗
Please make a short video on best sleep position if you have a flare up or please respond to my post. I’m not sure if side or back straight on the bed is better.
Probably whatever is comfortable
Thank you doctor. :)
Most welcome!
Hi doctor....How long I have to do...means the timing...thanks for your valuable information.🙏
Hi Doc, thank u for this useful and amazing content, I had a fistula removed about 2 weeks ago now, (my surgeon advised its completely removed) is it normal to have hardness and swelling in that area of the wound?
How was your fistula now?? I had fistula removed about 1 week ago
Hello Dr., thanks for all these videos. They sure help. In one of the comments below, you mention a hot tub. Would a public one in a gym be ok? If so, how long do you recommend sitting in the hot tub?

Hi
Doctor we cannot have tub bath in our bathroom because they are small. I purchased sitz bath on Amezon and in the beginning I felt good but after some days I realized it is actually making things bad so stopped using them even though I was sitting for 10 minutes only.
Hello doc. Loving your videos. Hit the subscription in the 1st video itself. I had a query. I've got a serious problem with sitz bath. I do my sitz bath in a baby pool kind of tub. But being a female my urinary tract is exposed to the bacteria in water and causing painful UTI. please talk about this in your next video as it is a gender specific problem and must have been a cause of unavoidable pain for many.
what solution u did, kindly guide me
Doctor sir,
Please answer me,
I generally lay or sit on my bed over a heating pad ,immediately after bowel movement ,
Can this method be okay?
What do you recommend for someone with full ileostomy, no colon. Not a candidate for surgery. Complex fistulas and painful abscesses breaking thru buttock cheek. My docs don't even seem to understand ileostomy issues, period!
My Dr. recommended a sitz to help with my anus irritation due to radiation treatment. Week 6 and it's the inside that is really damaged. I was going to buy one today then I found this vid. I will do a little more research before purchasing. I think I may just use a heavy cotton washcloth with lukewarm water after the shower. Thanks for the info.
In the shower case, did you mean to lean forward or lean backward? This video is super helpful btw!
I suggest leaning forward
But sir my doctor told or bitadieane powder in sitz bath, for healing
