Which Is Better？ Shower Or Sitz Bath？

Some people like to take showers, while others like to take sitz baths. These two types of people not only dislike those who do not like to take showers together, but sometimes they also dislike each other - the showerhead thinks the sitz bath person is too dirty, while the sitz bath person thinks the showerhead person does not know how to enjoy this peaceful moment. So, someone simply wrote an article to organize the answer to this question, and found that showering seemed to be better.

Which one is better for your skin? Shower!

A dermatologist suggests that showering may be better for your skin's health.
Lauren Ploch, a spokesperson for the American Skin Association, said, "Although showering and sitz baths can make you clean, staying in the bathtub for too long can make your skin dry

Ploch also warned against hot spring bathing, saying that this may lead to "hot water Folliculitis" - when bathing, bacteria may inflame the skin follicles, resulting in a rough red rash. My suggestion is to take a shower with clean water, even soapy water, to prevent such inflammation, "Ploch said. If you have eczema, you need to come out of the shower or bathtub every five to ten minutes to better protect your skin.

Which is more environmentally friendly? Shower (theoretically)!
The Grist website reported in the first half of this year that from an environmental perspective, showering is better than sitz bathing. But the premise is that your shower time is not very long.
Using a water-saving shower head is the most environmentally friendly way, as it only uses 2 gallons of water per minute. It takes ten minutes and 20 gallons of water to make you wash white.
According to the data of the United States Geological Survey, it takes 36 gallons of water to fill the bathtub in a sitting bath, while it takes about 5 gallons of water per minute in a general shower (without water-saving shower head). So, if you sing while taking a shower and let hot water splash away, it's actually not very environmentally friendly.

Which one washes cleaner? Almost!
Unless you take a mud bath, the effect of a shower and a sitz bath is actually the same. The method is not important, but time is very particular.
Professor Emma Guttman Yassky, Deputy Director of Dermatology Department of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, said, "We don't need to spend a long time to clean up, and rubbing too long will only make your skin dry."
