In this video, Doctor Susan Jewell proposes two options for sitting if you are suffering from painful hemorrhoidal inflammation.  The first option is to stack several soft cushions onto the seat, making the sitting surface softer, and raising the seat to a more upright position, which will be less painful.  The second is to use a special donut shaped cushion, designed to alleviate the pain around the anus by providing a sitting surface with a missing middle section, so the anal region actually does not come into contact with a surface at all.   The purpose of these...
