Disease description:

I recently underwent an anal fissure surgery at the hospital and have now fully recovered and been discharged. Recently, I’ve been cautious about what I eat. Could you please advise on the appropriate diet for anal fissure patients?

Dr. Cheng Yicheng
The diet for patients with anal fissures should primarily consist of light, easily digestible foods. Patients are advised to drink plenty of water daily and consume abundant fresh vegetables, fruits, and high-fiber foods. They must strictly avoid spicy, stimulating, fried, grilled, or hot-pot foods, as these may cause indigestion and potentially worsen anal fissure symptoms during bowel movements.
