Warm vs Cold Sitz?

Postby Anonymon » 27 Mar 2013, 06:55

I personally use warm shower head washes down there, and it provides relief in the moment. I've heard at least one around here recommend cold sitz or showers of the area for relief and reducing inflammation as well.
Which do you use? And are there any known benefits to one over the other? I've read the warm increases blood flow to help the area heal.

If your spasming warm is good, it relaxes the muscle, cold may help with swelling but it also contracts the muscle. I've tried both but prefer warm. Suzy
