Internal hemorrhoids and anal fissures are common anorectal diseases, often caused by factors such as constipation, prolonged sitting, and improper diet. Asymptomatic internal hemorrhoids do not require treatment, while symptomatic cases can be managed with medication; anal fissures require drug treatment under a doctor's guidance.
Initially, suppositories or ointments containing analgesic and anti-inflammatory ingredients can be applied locally to the anal fissure to help relieve pain and promote healing. Medications such as Sophora japonica pills, Diosmin tablets, and Zhisuning tablets may also be used in the treatment of internal hemorrhoids and anal fissures. In addition to drug therapy, patients should maintain regular bowel habits and avoid excessive straining during bowel movements. Increasing dietary fiber intake, along with appropriate physical activity, and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting are also recommended.
If symptoms persist or worsen, or if other complications arise, patients should seek timely medical attention for surgical treatment.
