In Brief:
Hemorrhoids can be painful, irritating, itchy and cause bleeding. According to McKinley Health Center, a diet high in fiber helps prevent constipation which is the leading cause of hemorrhoids. A sitz bath can be done by using a plastic tub that fits around the ring of the toilet. Fill the tub with warm water -- not hot -- and sit down allowing the warm water to bath the surgical area. If you do not have a plastic tub to fit on your toilet, fill your bathtub with warm water deep enough to cover your bottom and surgical area..
