What to do for mild anal fissure
For mild anal fissures, the following measures are generally recommended:
1. Improve bowel habits: Maintain adequate fluid intake and consume more fiber-rich foods to help relieve constipation and diarrhea, thereby improving bowel movement difficulties.
2. Local hygiene: Keep the anal area clean by washing with warm water; avoid using soap or cleansing solutions that may irritate the skin.
3. Use of prescribed softening agents: Apply topical softening agents around the anus as directed by a physician to reduce pressure during defecation and alleviate symptoms.
4. Surgical treatment: If symptoms are severe and medical treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered. Common procedures include fissurectomy and anal sphincterotomy.
