What Causes Anal Fissures?

constipation needs to be cured first
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
Fissure , the main cause is constipation. Even slight strain in passing stools stretch the anus and bleeds and pains. So first and main thing is to avoid constipation. This may be done by taking laxatives and high fiber diet with green leafy vegetables.
Taking too spicy foods increases blood flow to anus and more bleeding. You need to have regular motions daily. Standing of stool for longer time in intestine make it more harder by absorbing water.
For the present fissure to heal you need to apply combination ointment like zinc oxide, lignocaine, steroid and calcium dobusolate . These all have different action. Reduces burning pain, odema and helps in healing. Along with this I suggest to do sitz bath . In which you need to sit in a tub with XXXXXXX warm water with 2tsp dettol for 20 mins 3 to 4 times a day. You may discuss this with your doctor. This will reduce the tone of sphincter and reduces bleeding.
If you are already doing this from many days with no improvement then you need to discuss regarding need for surgery with your surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
