How should the anus be clean and hygienic?

The cleanliness of anus is of great significance to ensure the health of anus and prevent anal diseases. Therefore, both patients with anal diseases and healthy people should pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of anus. First, the so-called sitz bath is to wash the anus with warm water, which is also one of the methods of anal health care. Sitting bath can not only clean the dirt in anal fold, but also promote local blood circulation, which plays an important role in protecting anal cleanliness and physiological function. Patients who are too sick to squat can be scrubbed by others. After defecation, in the folds of the skin around the anus, there are often some small fecal residues that can't be cleaned with paper, or a small amount of nourishing water will be brought out after the anus is exhausted. These filth will stimulate the anus and cause anal diseases such as itching. Through sitz bath, these stimulating factors can be eliminated, and it can also help to restore the fatigue of anal muscles and enhance the disease resistance. This method is often used after hemorrhoid surgery. Anal dermatosis can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine decoction and sitz bath Sitting bath method: You can sit bath after defecation or before going to bed every night for about ten minutes, with warm water, not too hot, so as not to burn your skin. Because the anus likes to be dry rather than wet, dry the part with a dry cloth or absorbent paper after bathing, and if possible, apply powder. Drugs can be used with sitz bath. For example, in the anus damp, one thousandth of potassium permanganate water or dilute alum water can be used for long-term sitz bath. If the anal fissure hurts, you can take a bath with 0.5% bromogeramine. It is not advisable to use irritating potions such as alcohol, lysol and soapy water when taking a bath.
