Make sure the water is not too hot or it could make your hemorrhoid more painful. Soak in the bath for 10 to 15 minutes a few times a day. Allow your epiphyllum (a passage between your rectum and your anus) and calf muscles to relax. This should help to relieve bleeding, inflammation, and pain. The water should be lukewarm but not be scalding. Don't use soap, but soak well. This will make the tub feel comfortably warm and help to break up your menstrual period. Don't get over-using the salts, however.
