What Is Anal fissure ?
An anal fissure is a cut or a tear in the thin, delicate lining of your anus. The tear often exposes the muscle around the anus, called the anal sphincter.
The crack in the skin causes severe pain and some bright red bleeding during and after bowel movements. At times, the fissure can be deep enough to expose the muscle tissue underneath.
Certain treatments can promote healing and help relieve discomfort, including stool softenersand topical pain relievers. In most cases, the tear heals on its own. In cases where the fissure persists beyond 6 weeks, it’s considered chronic. If an anal fissure doesn't improve with these treatments, you may need surgery.
How is an anal fissure treated?
Most anal fissures don't require extensive treatment. However, certain home remedies can help promote healing and relieve uncomfortable symptoms. You can treat an anal fissure at home by:
- using over-the-counter stool softeners
- drinking more fluids to stay hydrated and improve digestion
- taking fiber supplements and eating more fibrous foods
- taking a sitz bath to relax the anal muscles, relieve irritation, and increase blood flow to the anorectal area
- applying nitroglycerin ointment to promote blood flow to the area or hydrocortisone cream, such as Cortizone
- applying topical pain relievers, such as lidocaine, to the anus to ease discomfort.
If your symptoms persist after trying home remedies, you should consult your doctor, who may recommend further treatments.We provide the best anal fissure treatment in hanamkonda
A calcium channel blocker ointment can relax the sphincter muscles and allow the anal fissure to heal.
Another possible treatment is Botox injections into the anal sphincter. The injections will prevent spasms in your anus by temporarily paralyzing the muscle. This allows the anal fissure to heal while preventing new fissures from forming.
If your anal fissure fails to respond to other treatments, your doctor may recommend an anal sphincterotomy.
This surgical procedure involves making a small incision in the anal sphincter to relax the muscle. Relaxing the muscle allows the anal fissure to heal.We offer affordable price for anal fissure treatment in hanamkonda
