Overview of Sitz Bath. A sitz bath is a bath in just enough water to cover the buttocks, upper thighs and lower abdomen. It is more labor intensive than other hydrotherapy treatments, but it powerfully affects the pelvic and abdominal organs.
Sitz baths involve soaking in warm water for 10-20 minutes several times daily. Fiber in the diet can be increased by increasing consumption of fruit, vegetables, beans, grains, and nuts. Fiber supplements include psyllium.
