A member asked:
Can adding iodized salt to a sitz bath help a chronic anal fissure heal that also has a sentinel pile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Adding salt to the bath will help to draw out the swelling in the area which will improve the pain. It will not speed up healing process but it may make you more comfortable for longer period of time.
