Anal fissure is one of the common diseases affecting the anal area, often caused by constipation, and is characterized by symptoms such as anal pain and bleeding during bowel movements. Erythromycin ointment has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. In the treatment of anal fissures, erythromycin ointment can effectively inhibit bacterial infection at the fissure site, reduce the inflammatory response, thereby relieving pain and promoting wound healing.

Although erythromycin ointment has certain therapeutic effects on anal fissures, patients are still advised to use the medication under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, patients should pay attention to dietary regulation, consume more fiber-rich foods, increase fluid intake, and ensure the affected area remains clean and dry.

If anal fissure symptoms persist or recur frequently, patients are advised to seek timely medical consultation and assistance from a doctor.
