Sitz baths have long been a natural, holistic approach to many issue of the rectal and vaginal area such as hemorrhoids, yeast infections and discomfort relief after childbirth. While many doctors prescribe creams and medications to aid in healing and relieving pain, sitz baths are often also recommended along with those treatments.

The sitz bath tub comes in various styles. They were designed to be both eco-friendly by saving water and to aid in making the sitz bath an easier task. If you’re planning to take your sitz bath in a bathtub, it can be a chore and a waste of water to fill the entire tub 3-4 inches up to several times per day. Therefore, choosing to purchase a sitz bath tub will save time and resources as well as help you to avoid having to stand up from a hot tub several times daily.

The warm water of the healing sitz bath causes the blood to rush to that area of the body which promotes healing but can also promote dizziness. Standing too quickly from a warm bathtub can be dangerous and everyone, especially the elderly need to be extra careful. A portable sitz bath tub can make this easier.

The sitz bath tub is usually plastic or inflatable plastic. Some styles have venting to allow water to flow through and prevent overflow. There are also many that include a plastic bag and tube that allows water or other solution (as recommended by your physician) to flow through the sitz bath tub and into the toilet. This is an excellent choice as it keeps the water moving which keeps it cleaner and feels great when you’re experiencing discomfort.

Sitz bath tub prices are anywhere from just under $10 to just over $20. They’re practical and will help your healing treatment to become an easier process which will allow you to focus on getting better.
