Fecal anal fissure bleeding is a common anorectal disease, usually caused by factors such as constipation and excessive straining during bowel movements, leading to injury of the anal sphincter and rupture of capillaries causing bleeding.
For patients experiencing fecal anal fissure bleeding, it is recommended to increase dietary fiber intake, ensure adequate hydration, and soften stools. At the same time, patients should develop regular bowel habits, defecating at the same time each day, avoiding excessive straining or prolonged time on the toilet. If constipation persists, mild laxatives may be used under a doctor's guidance. If the anal fissure lasts for several weeks or the above self-management measures are ineffective, prompt medical attention is advised.
