The Best Anal Fissure Treatment In Mumbai
Overview
In the human body, a small cut or open sore that develops in the lining of the anus is called an anal fissure.
Causes
The most common causes of an anal fissure include passing large or tight stools, anal intercourse, chronic diarrhea, childbirth, constipation, and straining during bowel movement. Sometimes it may cause by a sexually transmitted infection that can affect your anal canal.
Symptoms
Some of the symptoms of anal fissure include pain several times during discharge movement, pain after discharge time for a few hours, covered with blood on your stool or toilet paper, cracked skin around the anus, and a lump on the skin surrounding the anus.
Treatment
In rare cases where an anal fissure cannot heal naturally or through medicine, surgery is recommended. But surgery also carries a risk where you are not able to control your poop; it can be temporary or permanent. Usually, doctors recommend keeping that area of the body clean and dry for natural healing processes, adding a high-fibre diet, drinking more water, prescribing you anti-inflammatory lotion, externally applied nitroglycerin, botulinum toxin type A injections, and medication to increase blood pressure to heal the fissure.
