A member asked:
I have a bleeding hemorrhoid and was told to take warm sitz baths three times a day. if the hemorrhoid (where it is bleeding from) scabs up, will the warm sitz baths make the scab come off? how can it heal using warm water? using witch hazel too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The baths are soothing, bring in blood for healing and clean the area. But you should see a surgeon for management
