A sitz bath is a kind of hydro or water therapy where a person sits in warm shallow water. The name comes from the German word \u201csitzen,\u201d meaning to sit. The intent is to target therapy to the lower pelvic area, the genitourinary organs and between the legs. This includes the anal opening, urethra, and perineum, the vaginal opening for women, and the scrotum and penis in men. Sitz baths are sometimes called \u201chip baths\u201d depending on how much water is used.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

First and foremost, if you\u2019ve ever enjoyed one, you know how great they feel. Warm water increases circulation to the lower abdominal region, soothing and relaxing tender, often ignored tissues. Sitz baths are a gentle way to support and cleanse the genital area. They help relax the hips, low back, and lower abdomen. Use them to help relieve pain and itching, to relax tired muscles, and to ease general lower body soreness and fatigue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
