What is the best way to treat anal fissures in women?

Anal fissure in women is a common anorectal disease, mainly characterized by symptoms such as anal pain, rectal bleeding, constipation, and local itching. Treatment for anal fissures includes medication, surgical intervention, and daily care.

Patients should develop good bowel habits, maintain regular bowel movements, avoid excessive straining during defecation, keep the anal area clean, and avoid prolonged sitting. Drinking plenty of water and consuming foods rich in fiber can help maintain smooth bowel movements. If necessary, oral laxatives may be used according to medical advice.

Chronic anal fissures that fail to heal over time or do not respond to conservative treatments may be considered for surgical intervention. Common surgical procedures include internal sphincterotomy, aimed at relieving anal sphincter spasm, expanding the wound surface, and promoting healing of the fissure.
