Sitz Bath

Asalamualaikum and hello guys!

You may be wondering, what is a sitz bath isn't it? Ok,

 A sitz bath is literally what it sounds like - a bath where you sit in warm water that covers the buttocks and hips. This explains why so many people call it a 'sits bath'. Sitting in warm water allows more blood to reach the impacted area, promoting healing and helping with any discomfort. A sitz bath uses the theory of hydrotherapy or water therapy.

And this sitz bath is commonly been used for *haemorrhoid treatment.

**haemorrhoid** - swollen veins in the lower portion of the rectum or anus or in layman "buasir

How does sitz bath related to haemorrhoid?

Sitz bath promote healing and ease discomfort by encouraging blood flow to the rectal area. It's also thought that they help to relax the anal sphincter.

So, normally for pt yg ade haemorrhoid nie,Dr akan suggestkan utk buat sitz bath. Nak dijadikan cerita, one of my colleague nie, husband die didiagnosekan Haemorrhoid. So, admit la di GH selama for few days.

Before discharge, NURSE ni  bg Health Education to him on how to do the sitz bath.

Then, the husband asked him how much to put in the salt.

And U know what?? The NURSE answer him, "SECUKUP RASE". I was like OMG!! What the hell , man!

As a NURSE, can u tell him the proper way on how to do the sitz bath, how much u have to put in the salt, and how long it would take.

Ini dengan BANGGA nye, U jawab mcm tue. Susah ker nak answer him properly?? It's embarrassing okie. Please laHh!!

C'mon la, we've been taught of this thing during college time, rite?? So, can U just applied what u've been taught. Xsalah kan???

Macam mane patient nak baik if u bg "health education" macam tu? Xguna u belajar Nursing Intervention dulu, kan??

p/s: It makes me think why most of peoples out there really look down on nurses! It's because of this "intelligent" people.

Later, guys. Bye!
