How many sitz bath videos are out there? Tons! But this video actually gives you helpful tips. Thanks so much for subscribing and commenting!
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!
I really don’t understand the dots bath on the toilet since we aren’t supposed to sit on the toilet long. I think bathtub is the answer like you said.
Can we add Epsom salt in sitz bath water? Pls reply sir ?
Hey man, just wanted to say don't be fooled by the low view counts, you make some good quality content. 😃
Thanks very much for your encouraging words! Trying hard to be patient and let things build.
I agree and am sure your channel will grow and Im going to share it with others and am a subscriber now.
Thanks for all your advice doctor.
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.
Thank you doc. You're like a friend to us
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!
To anyone reading! Don’t be embarrassed go get checked!! TH-cam 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.
Surgery for what
@@kellielesher5623hemorrhoids of course.
How bad was the surgery I have to get one
Bro wtf 💀 I ain't getting no surgery done
I am currently sitting in bath tub crying because of pilondal disease it’s painful I don’t wanna go through surgery 😭please pray for me
what happen? next
Thanks so much for your videos . I have been suffering for so long.
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
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!!
Thank you for this tip Julia.
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.
Girl I'm suffering! I had a hemorrhoidectomy and I'm suffering
@@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.
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
I’m actually watching your video while sitting in my bath tub lol. Your voice is quite relaxing
Anadaruni piles ka best medicine hai ye Pymol Livcon capsul and manulax chruna bohat effective he ye medicine yek hi bar use Kiya tha 6 mahine hote aarhe he koi dikhat nhi he ab*
DR Chung your videos are so great! Thank you for making and sharing these. Bless you! ❤️
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!
Good luck!!
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.
Awful when doctor offices don't return your calls!! I wish you the best.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist Thank you!
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 th-cam.com/video/2aElfJMnwnA/w-d-xo.html
@@jonesfamilyfarms9325 how are you holding up these days ?
@@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
Doc. your instructions and voice is also relaxing. Thanks for all the details.
Thank you. So glad i found your videos. After watching one, im already feeling much less stressed and anxious about this terrible condition.
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.
Change your Do please
Change your Do please
Thank you for your advice and time you've been a comfort to me.
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!
You're welcome! That's the first time I've heard of the lemon technique. Very interesting!
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.
Thank you, Doc. This video helps me a lot.
Take care.
You helped ne out. During my darkest days thank you.
Glad I could help!
You are the best Dr with true intention to heal the patients.
I'll tune to your channel whenever I am having a sitz bath next.
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.
Excellent explanation and very well understood. Thank you
Thank you heaps legend 🛀🙏🏽❤️
You read me like a book Doc!! 😂
You have helped me so much! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I watch your videos when I’m relaxing in the tub with a sitz bath 😂
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.
This is very helpful! Thank you so much doc!
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 ❤❤
Thanks Dr. Chung! This really helped
Gosh I wish u were my doctor you make these issues much less stressful
You’re absolutely the shit doc pun intended; but really thank you so much for this solid advice ☺️
LOL!
Hahaha!!!
Thank you for your helpful service.
I definately follow you. Thank you for all your help.
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
Bruce…. I think you just solved my problem. I love you!
Great presentation and thank you!
I'm watching this video while I am soaking in a bath 😂
Bro I am in the same situation as you now 😂
Me too now😂
Very helpful.
Very nice and informative video.. Stay blessed
Thank yoy Doc, great video, very helpful
You r our stress buster ❤
Thank you Doctor.
Perhaps a discussion on diverticulitis and prevention fiber? What type of fiber Stool softeners strategy
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!
Man I appreciate this video and all your knowledge thank you my friend ❤🎉
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!
how do u wash the tub? i mean for next bath, and how ur condition now
@@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.
@@ShnozzleShabizzle actually it is summer in Pakistan, i will add warm water in tub, but i can't take shower after it, bcz the water will not be warm
@@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.
Thankyou doctor
Thank you so much🤗
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for the enlightening content doc. I wanted to ask as well, is Epsom Salt needed for a sitz bath or is it recommended?
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 .
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!❤
HI doc..Please tell how to pamper one's hemorrhoids so that they flare up less often
Thank you doctor
Hi,
Thanks for all your tips. I’m wondering if you would recommend laser surgery?
Thank you !!!!
Thank you doctor. :)
Most welcome!
Thank you 💗
Thank you so much. What cream is there best to use for external and internal hem.
thanks a lot doc
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 would this apply for perineal healing too?
@@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
I just take a hot bath with Epsom salts.
Sitz baths are good for having a bowel movement in after you have surgery.
Hi doctor....How long I have to do...means the timing...thanks for your valuable information.🙏
How many minutes?
Is it ok to exercise with a Hemorrhoid?
Hi doc, what’s your take on using bidets ? For those who struggle with recurrent fissures or hemorrhoids
Try it out! it might help you
Doc, Can I put baking soda instead of Epsom salt?
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
Wish I had a bathtub. They're not common in the southern hemisphere though.
Sleep,is there any best of worse positions for sleep. I didn't find a vid for that
Hello! Doc, its okay to do sitz bath during period? Thank you!
In the shower case, did you mean to lean forward or lean backward? This video is super helpful btw!
I suggest leaning forward
Can you link this follow up video with the original video?
is there a recommended minimum time that you should spend in the sitz bath?
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
Hi Dr.chung
What type of anesthesia is giving during HALO procedure?
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?
Should we do it in squatting position position or sit in the bath tub??
How much sitz salts should i use? Any help would be appreciated.
Do we need to do sitz bath with hot or cold water??
wow I’m glad I found this video. great video Dr.Chung!
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
You didn't answer the most important question: HOW to take a sitz bath. They sell them on Amazon but it's not clear how it's even supposed to work...
Thankyou so much. I'm so embarrassed.i even can't tell my parents 😭.
You're so welcome. So many people are embarrassed just like you! Let me know if you have questions and I can make videos for you!
Does it matter how deep the water is? Can’ I take a full on bath? Or should it be shallow?
How to you not push, because even a little will hurt again?
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.
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?
I figured our for myself that relaxing in a hot bath is good for my bottom end.
Wait… so the main point is just to relax while bathing? So why does it have to be a bath if you can relax while laying in bed and water temp isn’t a factor?
Dr Chung, How much Epsom Salts should you use in a bathtub for a sitz bath?
Anadaruni piles ka best medicine hai ye Pymol Livcon capsul and manulax chruna bohat effective he ye medicine yek hi bar use Kiya tha 6 mahine hote aarhe he koi dikhat nhi he ab••
For how long should I do sitzbath..
Unfortunately I was using a toilet ditz bath after a gastro told me to do so but the whole time sitting there I always wondered if the practice was bad 😢😢
I think sitting is part of the problem?
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!
Omg my family dont understand and neither did I know why I do say "get flat" when its hurting bad. I have to lay down. Relaxing is very hard for me. My body is rebellious to me
So cold water... got it
Why doesn't sitz bath help the ache after the bowel movement… I did it after I had a bowel movement but it still hurts for hours.
For how long
