how long do u sit for a sitz bath
Place the sitz bath on the toilet seat in a way that it does not move. Fill it up with warm water; make sure that the water is not too hot. Some sitz baths have vents so that the water does not overflow and spill out when you sit. If your sitz bath does not have vents, make sure you do not overfill it. If the doctor has prescribed it, then add salt or baking soda to the water in the sitz bath as it provides relief to the affected area. Sit in the sitz bath for about 10-20 minutes as recommended by the doctor. After the bath, dry the affected area by gently patting with a soft towel.
