A sensible treatment option you can use at home that aids in shrinking swollen tissues and easing burning pain, is to take a “sitz” bath. This is what the medical profession calls sitting in a shallow pan of warm water for short intervals, and letting it soothe any irritated skin or tissue. A sitz bath is good to use in conjunction with a homeopathic treatment like the Venapro solution. Soaking in a warm tub of water does the same thing, and isn’t so awkward to relax in. At the same time you’re sitting in warm water, make sure to clean your anus and the skin around it keep it clean from any extra fecal material that may clog it.
