Make sure to wipe your bottom gently and well

Wipe your bottom gently and well each time to ensure that no stool remains. Instead of wiping forcefully, press the toilet paper against your anus gently when wiping.

Although it is sufficient for many people to simply wipe with toilet paper after a bowel movement, the quality of the stool and the person's age may make it hard to clean, requiring multiple wipes. If this is the case, washing one's anus with a warm water washing toilet seat may be best.

Remember that the skin on one's anus is delicate. Strong water pressure or washing too long can cause inflammation, so be careful.

How to wash one's anus more gently

1.Gently wipe with toilet paper.

Wiping forcefully can press stool into the wrinkles and recesses on the anus. This can irritate the skin and make the symptoms of hemorrhoids even worse. Press the toilet paper against your anus gently when wiping.

2.Wash with lukewarm water.

Gently wash the anus with a warm water washing toilet seat. If you do not have access to a toilet with this function, use a bath shower. Take care not to turn the water pressure too high.

3.Make sure your anus is thoroughly dry.

Use a towel to wipe away any water on your anus. Instead of forcefully wiping water away, gently pat with a towel.
