Sitz bath: From Wikipedia, A sitz bath or hip bath is a bath in which a person sits in water up to the hips. It is used to relieve discomfort and pain in the lower part of the body, for example, due to hemorrhoids (piles), anal fissures, rectal surgery, an episiotomy... A sitz bath may be created simply by filling a bathtub with some water and sitting in it for a few minutes.
