Enough folks have asked what a sitz bath is, so, the purpose of this post in to let you know what one is in case you don't already know.
A basic sitz bath is a shallow tub or large bowl of tepid (lukewarm) water in which you sit. Believe it or not, simply soaking your behind in tepid water is quite healing when you have...stuff going on back there. No, this is not some alternative, weird way of managing health. Your doctor will know all about sitz bath as well as the great benefits of them.
The idea of a sitz bath is to soak your behind for twenty minutes or so, so the area can absorb the water which apparently heals bruised, swollen and torn tissue (not to mention other issues). It's very common for women who give birth to have some tearing occur and the sitz bath is very healing for that damaged tissue. As you have now figured out, a sitz bath is also very healing for people named Bert with anal fissures.
I don't know how this fissure of mine came about nor do I know if it's common for Gerson patients, but I've got it and it feels as thought it is already healing.
