What's the proper temperature for a sitz bath? An internet search yields all kinds of answers. I've been doing 103-104F at the start. After 15 minutes, it's down to about 99F. I'm wondering if I should go higher, or if that is bad for you.

In case anyone is wondering, I use a Coralife digital aquarium thermometer.

Hi William,

I'm not entirely sure!!! I just make it to a regular bath temperature minus a few degrees. I find it more soothing - not sure if there is any research out there on it?
