Method: This was a prospective clinical study conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Madhubani Medical College and Hospital, Madhubani, Bihar, India for 1 year. Total 80 patients comprising cases of haemorrhoids, fissure, perianal fistula, pilonidal sinus, perianal abscess and episiotomy wounds in the age group of 18 years to 58 years were include in this study. A set protocol of medical line of management was made for all the patients in the form of 5 days course oral antibiotics, metronidazole, H2 blocker along with 3 to 5 days course of analgesic and ointment for local application. All the patients were asked to practice seitz bath of their choice by warm water or regular room temperature seitz bath with added povidone iodine solution 3 to 4 times in a day till the wound heals completely and the patient gets the desired pain relief. Results: out of 80 patients, 45 patients (56.25%) in the study group opted for warm water seitz bath as compared to 35 patients (43.75%) of regular water seitz bath from the 3rd day of surgery onwards. All the 35 patients operated for pilonidal sinus, perineal abscess and perianal fistulectomy were found to have significant discomfort in the initial 15 days to 21 days due to discharge from the wounds. But all the patients got satisfactory results with respect to the reduction in the amount of smell and discharge from wound after a period of 15 days to 21. Adequate wound healing was achieved over a period of 8 to 10 weeks in all the 35 patients of fistulectomy, perineal abscess and pilonidal sinus excision depending upon the size of the tissue defect and severity of infection. Conclusion: The frequency of seitz bath and subsequent improvement in the local hygiene definitely give comfort to the patient and speeds up wound healing. ; Aim: The aim of this retrospective study is to compare the effect of warm versus regular room temperature sitz bath.
