Abstract
A hemorrhoid supporting pad, preferably associated with a seat cushion assembly, is formed from a flexible envelope partially filled with a fluid. The pad is positioned beneath a seated person. Portions of the envelope extend beneath the ischial tuberosities of the seated person, which causes the fluid in the envelope to flow into the central region of the envelope, where the fluid is forced upwardly beneath the anus to support the hemorrhoid.
