What to do if anal fissure hurts, how to relieve and treat it

Among anal diseases, anal fissure is relatively common. After anal fissure occurs, the patient will feel obvious pain and may also have blood in the stool. Relieving and treating anal fissures is actually quite simple. First, keep the anus clean. If there is skin damage, you should apply some anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent secondary infection.

1. Smooth bowel movements: Long-term constipation is the main cause of anal fissures. Therefore, maintaining smooth bowel movements is crucial to the prevention of the disease. Patients should develop a habit of daily bowel movements, have regular bowel movements, increase outdoor activities appropriately, and take a hot water bath afterwards to improve local blood circulation, promote inflammation absorption, relieve pain, and relieve the patient's psychological tension to facilitate bowel movements.

2. Adjust your mentality: keep your mood happy and peaceful.

3. Regulate your diet: Reasonable meal arrangements are helpful to ensure smooth bowel movements. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and crude fiber foods, eat less or avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink more water to ensure that the gastrointestinal tract has abundant digestive juice secretion, which is beneficial to gastrointestinal motility and prevents constipation.

4. Pay attention to diet therapy: Regular consumption of crude fiber foods can stimulate gastrointestinal motility and facilitate defecation.

5. Pay attention to hygiene: keep the anus clean, clean the anus in time after defecation, take a bath frequently, and change underwear frequently to effectively prevent infection. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, you should go to the hospital for treatment. If the amount is small, you should strengthen observation and pay attention to eating blood-enriching nutritional products and foods to enhance the body's resistance.

6. Adhere to sitz baths: Take sitz baths with 1:5000 potassium permanganate warm water before and after defecation. The warm water should be 43℃～46℃, 2 to 3 times a day, each time for 20 to 30 minutes. Sitz baths can relax the anal sphincter, relieve pain, improve local blood circulation, promote the absorption of inflammation, and facilitate the healing of anal fissures.
