Signs of Gradual Healing of an Anal Fissure
Disease description:
I have been suffering from anal fissure for some time. Recently, I noticed a significant reduction in pain and less bleeding during bowel movements. I would like to know whether these indicate that the anal fissure is gradually healing.

Dr. Li Jingxiang
Anal fissure is a common anorectal condition, and symptoms will gradually subside as the fissure begins to heal.
The anal pain caused by anal fissure will gradually diminish, especially the severe pain during defecation, which indicates that the wound is healing and inflammation is subsiding. The amount of bleeding during bowel movements will also decrease, changing from bright red to light red, and may even stop completely, indicating that the wound is gradually repairing and the blood vessels are returning to normal. In addition, redness, swelling, and inflammation around the anus will gradually resolve, and the skin will begin to return to its normal color and texture.
To promote healing of the anal fissure, patients should maintain local hygiene, avoid irritant foods, and prevent excessive fatigue.
