Treating anal fissures

Because many people now have irregular diets, unhygienic food, and their own physical factors, more and more people are suffering from anal fissures. So what is the treatment for anal fissures? What are the symptoms of anal fissures? What are the causes of anal fissures? Let us take you to understand.

1. Treatment of anal fissure:

Usually, drink more water, eat more fiber-rich foods, and eat more whole grains to promote gastrointestinal motility and keep bowel movements smooth.

Develop a biological clock that requires regular bowel movements every day, and once you have a bowel movement, you must immediately resolve it and cannot tolerate it.

If the stool is relatively dry and hard, do not squeeze it to avoid making the skin rupture worse. You can take paraffin laxatives orally to soften the stool and make it easier to pass.

Keep the anus clean. After defecation, dilute potassium permanganate in warm water at a ratio of 1:5000 and then take a sitz bath.

If conservative treatment is ineffective, anal fissure resection or internal anal sphincter resection can be performed.

2. Symptoms of anal fissure:

Typical symptoms are pain, constipation, and bleeding.

During defecation, dry and hard feces can cause ulcers and cracks on the surface, causing severe pain. The pain is short-lived after the feces are discharged, and after a few minutes, due to the reflex spasm of the sphincter, it causes long-term severe pain, and some people need to use analgesics to relieve it.

Patients with anal fissures are afraid of defecating, which makes constipation worse, forming a vicious cycle. There may be a small amount of bleeding when the wound is split, and blood may drip on the surface of the stool or behind the stool.

During the examination, use the thumb to gently separate the anus to see the surface of the ulcer. The edges of a new anal fissure are neat and soft, the bottom of the ulcer is shallow, there is no scar tissue, the color is red, and it is easy to bleed. Chronic anal fissures are deep and hard, grayish white, and not easy to bleed. Under the fissure is a "sentinel hemorrhoid." Anal finger and anoscopy examinations can cause severe pain to the patient and should not be performed.

Anal fissures are often accompanied by sentinel hemorrhoids, which are characterized by sentinel hemorrhoids. ⅲ Anal fissures are accompanied by external hemorrhoids and internal hemorrhoids; hemorrhoids can manifest as internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids and combined hemorrhoids alone. ⅲ During anal fissures, the appearance of the anus is often the same.
