An anal fissure is a rupture of the mucous membrane of the edge of the rectum. More often in people leading an inactive lifestyle or suffering from constipation, this disease is observed. The occurrence of a crack is possible in the case of damage to the mucosa by any foreign object, including during anal sex. Treatment of the anal fissure is necessary at the earliest stage of its appearance.
There are two main forms of the disease. The main sign of the appearance of an anal fissure is pain, which often does not stop for several hours after going to the toilet. Patients try to go to the toilet less often, which leads to constipation and complication of the situation. The second symptom is no less painful. This is a sphincter spasm. A vicious circle appears. During bowel movements, pain occurs, which in turn causes a sphincter spasm and even more severe pain. All this becomes the main obstacle to healing. First of all, the treatment of anal fissure implies the elimination of pain.
In the absence of the necessary and timely treatment, after twenty to thirty days, the disease flows into a chronic form. The edges of the crack coarsen and thicken. Pain arises only after bowel movement, and with time may disappear altogether. Slight bleeding and sphincter spasm are present . Such a lull is dangerous, since excess tissue (anal tubercles) begins to develop at the edges of the anal fissure. Possible itching and purulent discharge. Always a longer and more complex treatment of chronic anal fissure. Usually it is conservative and only in those situations when it is impossible to achieve the desired effect, the specialist will prescribe an excision.
When revealing a mother-in-law, you should contact a specialist who will definitely recommend measures to alleviate the condition and quick healing. Treatment of the anal fissure begins with the observance of simple rules on nutrition and hygiene. A sufficient amount of fiber (vegetables, fruits) and fluids (at least two liters per day) should be present in the diet. A complete rejection of spicy and fatty foods and alcohol is necessary. Doctors recommend eating one spoonful of sunflower oil every morning on an empty stomach. Treatment of anal fissure is also in body care. Make sure that shampoos and gels do not cause irritation. And it’s best to use regular baby soap. Sessile baths prepared with the use of potassium permanganate and other herbs with antibacterial effect bring quick relief. After the bath, be sure to dry the anus and apply talcum powder. Now you can use any of the healing creams, even better if it also contains vitamin E.
It is recommended to treat the anal fissure with folk remedies, which act as effectively as possible in the fight against this disease. In sedentary baths, you can add a decoction of oak bark. For applications, it is good to use infusions from wheat bran and calendula. In order to reduce internal intestinal irritation, healers are advised to use an infusion of nettle leaves. Brew it like regular tea and drink it daily. The course of treatment is not less than fifteen days.
But the best treatment for anal fissures with folk remedies is the use of aloe juice. Remove from a freshly cut sheet of crust and apply the resulting jelly to the sore spot. First, cut one side and wipe the area of the anus, then cut the opposite and do the same. It is best to carry out this procedure after applying healing baths. It is possible to treat the anal fissure, located more deeply, with the help of candles made from aloe. Before use, they must be frozen well and then carefully introduced. Alternative therapy is very effective and often contributes to a complete recovery. In the event that the desired result is not achieved, surgical treatment of the chronic anal fissure may be necessary.
