Suffer Anal Fissure. Is There Any Home Treatment Available ?
Hi,
I've had an ongoing problem with an anal fissure for about a month, my inquiry is about home treatment. Is there anything I can do at home to help solve this problem. I'm not comfortable going to my family doctor, in order to see another doctor or a specialist in the gastroenteral field do I need to get a referral?

Not all the anal fissure needs medication and treatment.

You need some lifestyle changes
1. Increase fiber diet in food especially soluble fibre diet.

You may apply the niroglycerine externally to promote healing of anal fissure.
Most of anal fissure do not need surgery.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The treatment of anal fissures should first commence by taking all the necessary steps to avoid constipation and soften the stools and keep them regular. You should be made to fast on raw juices for about five days. Juices of fruits such as carrot, orange and pineapple may be taken during this period. You should drink a glass of juice every two hours throughout the day mixed with water in equal proportions. Warm water enema should be administered daily during this period to cleanse the bowels.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
