What to do for anal fissure and itchy bottom

When experiencing anal itching caused by anal fissures, the following measures are recommended: 1. Dietary adjustment: Increase intake of fiber-rich foods such as sweet potatoes and dragon fruit to promote intestinal motility, prevent constipation, and avoid hard stools that may irritate the fissure site. 2. Local hygiene: Maintain cleanliness of the anal area. Sitz baths with warm water, performed 1–2 times daily with an appropriate amount of potassium permanganate solution, can help reduce inflammation and relieve itching. 3. Medication: Under medical guidance, apply topical ointments such as compound alginated ester cream or mupirocin ointment to reduce inflammation and relieve itching. 4. Lifestyle improvements: Avoid prolonged sitting or standing, engage in moderate physical activity, and maintain regular bowel movements. Avoid excessive straining during defecation to prevent further injury to the fissure. 5. Medical evaluation: If symptoms persist or worsen, seek timely medical attention to determine the underlying cause and receive professional treatment.
