I watch your program regularly because you have helped me practice self care and you have prevented me from becoming a nervous wreck over my condition. Thanks so much for using TH-cam as a teaching tool and for offering free expertise to those of us who suffer. Your sense of humor helps, too. God bless you for being a caring physician! If I weren't so old, I'd move across the country so I could be your patient.
My varicose veins down there have not given me any troubles since the day I have started viewing your channel, taking Miralax daily, and having sitz bath after every BM. Can't say thank you enough for saving me from several decades of pain & suffering dear Dr. Chung, my quality of life has immensely improved.
I had a prolapsed hemorrhoid about 30 years ago. My doctor told me to sit on a very warm sitz bath.I did. it bled ,it was instant relief and never had a problem again!
@@YTHexter it was more like almost hot water, nothing else. it popped I guess cause there was blood in the sitz bath and then I felt relief and it never came back
Without you and these videos, I would still be a mess. I have had bleeding hems for a very long time and then I got a fissure. Doctors didn’t help me at all. YOU, though, finally explained all the things to me so I understood what was happening. You gave me tools and I was able to heal myself. I was able to finally take control of my situation. I am so much better than I was before. I have found that my diet needs to be concentrated around fresh cooked vegetables and lean proteins. I also need to move everyday at least 5,000 steps. I was also drinking too much water. You taught me to use the Pranicura, sitz baths in my tub with the Revivol-XR, that “fiber” isn’t necessarily the answer, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I never would have thought I would be on the other side of what I was going through a year ago. I’m beyond grateful that you started this channel and that I found it! THANK YOU!!!
Hey Dr. Chung. As a person with an anal fistula I really appreciate you taking the time from your family and other things you’d probably rather be doing to educate us on this condition and the possible treatment options. After suffering an unbearable amount of pain from a new fistula channel that wasn’t draining, I had surgery at the VA hospital here in Las Vegas. I was dealing with that ok and scheduled for another surgery, this time to put a bovine plug in the tract and have a flap procedure at the same time. In postoperative recovery I was informed by the resident surgeon that the doctor opened up the tract instead and now I have a pretty large open wound that hast to heal. I wasn’t given very detailed instructions as to how to care for myself to heal as quickly as possible or anything other than instructions to take a sitz bath at least after each bowel movement. I still have control of my bowels so I’m incredibly happy about that. I’m 64 and very active when not in pain. Any recommendations? I had the surgery last Thursday, 4/11.
This is literally why I’ve been refusing to go to the VA to get my back blast area checked out. Of all places that I don’t want them fuckin up, my booty is the number one
@@yourfriendlyproctologist hello doctor, I also added a super thanks on one of your other videos, I just wanted to say thanks for putting helpful content like for us PPL as you know how hard back problems can be and your hope is truly encouraging me to hold on
Not that my surgeon would not help me, but given mandated short appt times (and surgical complications in the healing process), you just answered questions and gave additional helpful information (great demo with the model!!) that I had after reading and trialing the recommended Sitz bath treatment -- THANK YOU!!
You are such a great source of information here on TH-cam on a rather touchy subject! You've explained to me my own issues, my own bottom (haha) health has improved and I find your demeanor extremely educated, humorous, approachable and charming! I had profusely bled once a few years ago, but it was a one-time occurrence, and thought maybe a polyp had ruptured, or hemorrhoid-related, just didn't know, but it ceased so decided to not worry about it, because I don't like doctors who just don't give info, slap an Rx at you when leaving and have no communication skills with their patients. I find you refreshing in your communication, and so grateful you explain so much. May God bless you immensely sir! I thank you for what you do here. It is helping so many.
Im typing this while sitting in the tub after my ER visit. It was recommended to perform SITZ baths. I stumbled upon your video to learn more and I wanted to say thank you for this information. I’ll be back with an update in a few weeks.
I've watched many of your videos, and I'm so grateful for your advice on MiraLax. Now I use it effectively every day and I don't have to even think about constipation or painful bowel movements. Also, our bidet is a lifesaver with small hemorrhoids. It allows a small shower back there and doesn't require a sitz bath but you still get very clean without irritating your backside. It's also a lot faster than wiping. It cleans you up in a minute or so and all you need is a towel or TP to dry off. We buy far less toilet paper than we used to and spend far less time sitting on the toilet. That's helped me the most.
Doctor Chung you play a big part in me overcoming my shame for tolerating it for 6 years and getting the courage to visit a doctor. While he was not half as comforting as you or even a proctologist( only general surgeon is in my insurance), it was far better than nothing. I didn't knew a person far side of the internet could be more motivating then your own close family members.
Okay, I was planning on using my sitz bath IN my shower so it sounds like I'll be safe and not making things worse. Thanks for this clarification, I was worried I couldn't have any sitz baths at all for a moment! 😅
Thank you for the video, I’m in pain with a prolapsed haemorrhoid which arrived yesterday ☹️ I was about just about to buy one of these electric over toilet sitz bath for it, I’ve taken it out my basket now 👍🏼 I will continue with the salt baths, just time consuming isn’t it as I doing four a day I’m going to try the shower way as you suggested hopefully it buggers off soon 🙏🏼
Could you please make a video about intestinal disbiosis and how to rebuild good bacteria after taking antibiocics? I had a very good pooping routine, was feeling healthly and now I'm struggling with disbiosis so much.
Dr, can you please do a video on Polymer ‘Banana’ Ligation Clips used for Hemorrhoids as shown by Dr. Kang in Busan - Korea, for larger Piles not treatable with current banding…
Hi, Dr Chung…I hope you know just how much you are appreciated! I’ve learned so much from you that has helped me immensely. I have an external thrombosed hemorrhoid that is oozing a bit of blood…is this normal?
I love using the site bath and have been using since birth of my first child 1984!!🤣 I had to give the old one to my niece after she gave birth and then bought myself a new one. I actually use it for bladder ( overactive syndrome) and it helps a lot. Fortunately I’ve never had a UTI . The dr told me to take hot baths but I don’t always have time in the middle of the day. Of course bath is always better and I definitely use it at night😉
Post op day 5 from hemroiddectomy (2 removed, one external one internal and it was prolapsed) happy I got the surgery, knowing they would be gone! The fear and recoevry scared me for the longest and one day in the bathroom after a bm I broke down and said enough is enough and got it done (after I tried everything to get rid of them). Day of surgery went well! Woke up same day and went home. Day one not bad still feeling the numbness from the shot. I will say the recovery is brutal the first few days but it does get better. The bms are the worst cause you dont know if you drank enough water/miralax/fiber. The wait, then bm pain is what you have to get past and everyone is diff you may or not have the same pain or less. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now and counting down the days of recovery:) Sitz bath are your best friend! After a bm! Just ordered some of that rx mix to add to the sitz bath. Day 3-5 for me were the worst but having the support of my loved ones and few groups on reddit that shared their stories made this process much better and knew I wasnt alone in this. To everyone going through this whether you got the surgery done or not, hope it gets better for all of you! No one should go though this and have to deal with it day to day, weighs on your mental heavily! Good luck everyone! We got this!
@@thatguyytyy only issue post op month 2, the external taking longer to heal so it can be uncomfortable at times but that's due to the healing. Definitely was worth the surgery. The difference is night and day for me. Just taking care of that area so it can heal and will post a full recovery hopefully soon!
@@Brandon-ih9fu Thank you for your reply! This is such a debilitating thing to deal with. I went to do a gym workout for the first time in months and it made them prolapse SO badly. They take like two weeks to retract for me and they WERE retracted BEFORE the workout, then me deciding to be healthy for once and go do a hearty workout - BAM there they are again. Contemplating the procedure in the future, just waiting until they get worse. Thanks again.
@@thatguyytyy yw! I suffered with mine for a few years and one bad day I said #$@ this not allowing this to control my days anymore and here I am! I pushed it off due to being embarrassed/fear of it all. Wishing you the best with the fight!
Looks like I will be needing to do the Haemorrhoidectomy . But before I book in the time for when to do the Op. Can you recommend so exercises I should be doing to help me recovery faster. BTW I really enjoy your videos. They are great source of information
Sunday afternoon butt talk time! I had a HET procedure in November. They tell you it's pain free, but it's not! I was still having occasional bleeding into January. I tried a different brand of bread and wow, no more problems! That old high fiber bread was no bueno for me. Still take Metamucil to keep things moving smoothly.
What about a having a full bidet installed in the bathroom? We are adding a bathroom, and a friend suggested that when having the new bathroom built we put a bidet in there along with a toilet. You can buy them as a toilet/bidet matching pair. He’s from France. Lots of people have bidets in their homes there.
Please do a video on slow bowel syndrome. I’ve had it since I was born. I tried every diet imaginable. My intestines just don’t move well on their own. Coffee used to help but not anymore. Celery juice helps sometimes. What else you got?
Thanks for the info on the sitz bath Dr Albert, I used a sitz bath over the toilet for a while and I think it worsened my hemorrhoids, so I started to sit inside a bucket as a sitz bath and the bucket was rested on the floor. However the bucket isn't to wide and my butt gets stuck in the bucket a little. I am not sure if this good because I have to stoop down and sit in the bucket. I was wondering if I can use warm wet rags instead of the bucket.
Doctor, I used Betamethasone Valerate for years to treat my lichen sclerosis. I have discontinued about 2 years now. My skin thinned as a result. How can I thicken my genitalia skin? Is it only through hormones? Thank you and I am learning so much from you. I would come see you but I left CA about 2 years ago.
Hello Doctor, have been following you for past 1 year and all ur videos are immensely helpful, can i take indian alternative for miralax which has same combination as miralax?
you can use dishwashing tubs (small plastic basins) usually sold in Asian grocery stores; and please make a clorox or food grade H2O2 solution (both MUST BE DILUTED) to disinfect tub after each use
Sir I had my fissure surgery 3 months before but i am experiencing burning sensation till now Is this normal What should I do??? My doctor said it's normal
Hey doctor, I was hoping you could answer me, I’m having a huge problem. I had a cutting seton placed, the first 2 weeks were intense pain, but it’s been 2 months and I still can’t do some exercises like walk too much or just run or take heavy lifts ecc ecc. sometimes it starts to burn out of nowhere and I have to lay down to cool it down. My surgeon found out that there is a new small fistula but he said that the original seton should take care of that too. But I still can’t poo without almost crying and can’t exercise or still seat straight.
Just gone through fissures surgery before one week .And doing sits bath three time i m from Pakistan we don't have Amazon 😢using piyoden drops in sits bath
Is there ANY kind of fb or other place support group for fistula/abscess etc surgery? Dr and his staff are more reclusive than me, and that’s saying a lot. They basically never return calls. And of course since they got all the money up front(against my wishes) they have no reason to talk to me. This crap is painful as hell, I’m about to run out of the hydro co done and sorry but Tylenol and aleve are placebos. Trying to do Sitz in a bathroom at work mostly but not always an empty building. Overall this is just depressing as can be. I just want to sleep it away but have pets and have to work to pay for them. I’m starting to regret going through with this.
Hello doctor recently diagnosed with acute anal fissure my fissure hurts about 5-6 hours after bowel movement and after 6hours I won’t feel any pain is this normal and its been 25 days taking treatment no bleeding at all but pain after bowel movement please reply…
Are sitz bottles okay to use and how often can you use it? I read you don't want to get it too wet too much to make the wound too soft and longer healing process and possible infection (thats with the sitz bath but I'm talking about actually sitting in the tub).
I just has Open Heart Surgery and I am on sternum precautions. I can get myself in and out of a bath at the moment. I developed a fissure due to the narcotics I was on. I grabbed one of these toilet hats. I am afraid it might aggravate a hemorrhoid sitting on it though.
@@vince1229 That's awesome 😎 would you care to elaborate what you cut in terms of carbs and what you replaced it with? Did you go keto? And did you cut all starchy veggies, legumes etc too? Just curious 😊👌🏻
@@JamieR I just ate aged cheddar, peanut butter, meat and milk in coffee. I also had skin tags on my neck which means pre diabetes which also vanished in a frw weeks. Didn't lose any fat though.
What is a toilet tub? How does a sitz bath actually look? It fits into the toilet? I have no idea! I'm 55, and probably need this info in the next 10 years. Do you do this in the bathtub? Is it a big bowl that fits into the toilet? How does it look?
Hi doc. 39 yo American male currently working in China. I have fistula that is trans-sphincter. Doctor wants to put me under and determine if seton or lift will be done. I’m just worried because lift procedure isn’t very successful. Would you mind sharing your thoughts? Thanks for your videos
sitz bathtub it's not enough for my ass, even the warm water not touching my anus. so i use kids plastic bathtub. Today is my 8th day of recovery hemoroidetomy surgery (at the same time i got cysts disease sugery around my anal) , i have a problem with the poop, so hurt around my anus and always bleeding. I'm felling so scare. and i got idea to make my muschel relax when poop. i poop inside the warm water of that kids plastic bathtub. it's working for me. the poop out from anus easily, and without hurt. so i don't need take long time. i agree about the grafitty. i don't want take a long time sit on the toilet. the question is it ok poop in the warm salt water? ? Btw, thank you so much for your video so helpful
on friday i just went for analskin tag prodcedure cuz i have hemmoriods inside and outside but its more grade 1 than anything. but everytime i take a stool, it hurts. doctor gave me some medicine to ease the bleeding. the doctor says it might take 2-5 weeks or a month to heal. ive been using epsom salt to sit my bum inside to ease the pain after i finish pooping. feels like im limping when im walking. plus when i sit down it have to lean to one side same when im laying down.
I just did my anal fitsula surgery one week ago. Whenever I go poop than wash. I will burning sensation. Whenever water touch on the wound it's very pain and feel swollen. Any recommendation ?
Sitz made my condition worse. I use warm water bottle covered with a moist face towel. I sit on it for at least half an hour. It helps push in the hemmies and relax the anal area
Dr. Chung . I am from INDIA. Can you suggest the surgery- laser or open hemorrhoidectomy. Because I has job in bank . It's kind of sitting for long time... Which one is good?
Thanks Dr. Chung I appreciate the info! I prefer doing sitz baths in the shower. Thankfully I have a detachable shower head so I use that to soak my butt with water 🚿😂.

Getting an Urinary track infection is a major concern for women when using one of the plastic hats.
Was thinking the same thing....i now use the shower.
I have the same concern due to the fact that you're sitting in water that might have fecal debris, and that's a concern.
My Dr recommended adding 1 drop of Betadine to the water.
Make sure to pee right after the bath!
You could also take a shower and wash yourself first since the sitz bath is so little, I wouldn't want to be sitting in poopy water either!

My surgeon found out that there is a new small fistula but he said that the original seton should take care of that too. But I still can’t poo without almost crying and can’t exercise or still seat straight.
GREAT point about hems and hanging out on toilet

9:03 with that being said whats the best hemmeroid pullow to use? I just ordered the larger hemmeroid pillow but it has a hole.
Is there ANY kind of fb or other place support group for fistula/abscess etc surgery? Dr and his staff are more reclusive than me, and that’s saying a lot. They basically never return calls. And of course since they got all the money up front(against my wishes) they have no reason to talk to me. This crap is painful as hell, I’m about to run out of the hydro co done and sorry but Tylenol and aleve are placebos. Trying to do Sitz in a bathroom at work mostly but not always an empty building. Overall this is just depressing as can be. I just want to sleep it away but have pets and have to work to pay for them. I’m starting to regret going through with this.
Doc .... Does the damaged vein of external pile heal on their own over the period of time ?
How do you use a sitz bath for a thrombosed hemorrhoid? Thanks!
Hey neighbor, can I use your jacuzzi so I can heal my hemorrhoid?
Neighbor: 😟
LOLOLOL!!! Don't tell them that! They'll never invite you to jacuzzi parties ever again!
Had a rectal tumor removed in June and feel like I'm never going to heal😢
Is it safe to use after giving birth? The complete sitz bath solution?
Can I do it after surgery? Because I got conflicting results on the internet
Is there any way to turn this around the opposite way to use it vaginally? (For vulvar excema with oatmeal or baking soda baths)
Hello. What about a toilet sitz bath for External Hemorrhoids? Couple of blueberries here. Thanks

@@Shqiperia_ne_nje_minute try sitz bath
Are sitz bottles okay to use and how often can you use it? I read you don't want to get it too wet too much to make the wound too soft and longer healing process and possible infection (thats with the sitz bath but I'm talking about actually sitting in the tub).
11 days today for me.
When to stop using sitz bath after surgery?
I just has Open Heart Surgery and I am on sternum precautions. I can get myself in and out of a bath at the moment. I developed a fissure due to the narcotics I was on. I grabbed one of these toilet hats. I am afraid it might aggravate a hemorrhoid sitting on it though.
doc i thought your service is free when i email you.
Ice water bath reduces inflammation and shrinks everything. Hot water baths only make things angry.
Glad you were able to experiment and find what works for you.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist Actually, I gave up carbs and everything went away in a few weeks.
@@vince1229 That's awesome 😎 would you care to elaborate what you cut in terms of carbs and what you replaced it with? Did you go keto? And did you cut all starchy veggies, legumes etc too? Just curious 😊👌🏻
@@JamieR I just ate aged cheddar, peanut butter, meat and milk in coffee. I also had skin tags on my neck which means pre diabetes which also vanished in a frw weeks. Didn't lose any fat though.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the help, I have always used hot water.
What is a toilet tub? How does a sitz bath actually look? It fits into the toilet? I have no idea! I'm 55, and probably need this info in the next 10 years. Do you do this in the bathtub? Is it a big bowl that fits into the toilet? How does it look?
My brother said the salts made him worse, any reason why that could be?
Hi doc. 39 yo American male currently working in China. I have fistula that is trans-sphincter. Doctor wants to put me under and determine if seton or lift will be done. I’m just worried because lift procedure isn’t very successful. Would you mind sharing your thoughts? Thanks for your videos
What I just bought one!
sitz bathtub it's not enough for my ass, even the warm water not touching my anus. so i use kids plastic bathtub. Today is my 8th day of recovery hemoroidetomy surgery (at the same time i got cysts disease sugery around my anal) , i have a problem with the poop, so hurt around my anus and always bleeding. I'm felling so scare. and i got idea to make my muschel relax when poop. i poop inside the warm water of that kids plastic bathtub. it's working for me. the poop out from anus easily, and without hurt. so i don't need take long time. i agree about the grafitty. i don't want take a long time sit on the toilet. the question is it ok poop in the warm salt water? ?
Btw, thank you so much for your video so helpful

I just did my anal fitsula surgery one week ago. Whenever I go poop than wash. I will burning sensation. Whenever water touch on the wound it's very pain and feel swollen. Any recommendation ?
Sitz made my condition worse. I use warm water bottle covered with a moist face towel. I sit on it for at least half an hour. It helps push in the hemmies and relax the anal area
Does a heating pad do the same?
I wish u cud still get Victorian hip tubs made
Is it ok for perianal abscess?
Abscess should be drained..

Can I use it after anal fistula operation or batj is better? Don't know yet if i will have a seton first or only operation. Pls advise
A defecating proctogram sounds like a variation of the death penalty /method of execution
Its certainly not pleasant.
Dr. Chung . I am from INDIA. Can you suggest the surgery- laser or open hemorrhoidectomy. Because I has job in bank . It's kind of sitting for long time... Which one is good?
Actually I have grade 2 hemorrhoids.
Is a bidday a smart way to stay clean if tp is an irritation?
Thanks Dr. Chung I appreciate the info! I prefer doing sitz baths in the shower. Thankfully I have a detachable shower head so I use that to soak my butt with water 🚿😂.
This!!!!
I’m not following. If i have tube but i don’t want to sit in the tub… can i use the “hat” in the tub? Sit with the hat in the tub?
I only have a shower living in my dorm. Guess I will do the shower method. What are your thoughts on using ice packs on your anus area?
I hate hemorrhoids!!
I don’t like baths! They are unsanitary!
Heeelp
I am very unclear as to why you hate the toilet hats? Why you think there evil?
