’What are the benefits of using a sitz bath for pain relief after birth?
There are a number of benefits to sitz baths:
Improves blood flow to the perineal area, which reduces swelling and inflammation and promotes healing.
Relaxes the muscles in the perineum, which can relieve the pain of a tear or episiotomy.
Soothes the soreness that comes from childbirth stretching.
Relieves the itching that often accompanies stitches.
Keep things clean down there, helping to lower the risk of infection.
A sitz bath can also help ease pain and itching from hemorrhoids — another postpartum symptom you may be experiencing.’

‘Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up and use a sitz bath:
Fill a cleaned and disinfected sitz bath basin or tub with two to three inches of water. You want the water to come up only to your hips when you sit down. Using a specialized basin that fits on top of a toilet is easier than using a tub, since you won’t have to take your clothes off.
Use warm (not hot) water. Some women prefer cool water in their sitz bath — especially since cool water tends to reduce swelling more effectively than warm water.
Experts recommend soaking once a day for up to 20 minutes max. If there are stitches in the perineum, too much soaking can cause the tissues to break down and the stitches to fall apart, so be sure to ask your practitioner for a recommendation.
When you’re done, pat the area dry with a soft, clean towel, or use a hairdryer on cool setting. (You'll want to keep the area as dry as possible, especially if you have stitches). Don’t rub — that’ll only increase your soreness.
