Homeopathy Treatment For Anal Fissure
A minor tear or cut in the anus’s lining is known as an anal fissure. Anal fissures are generally really painful and result in bleeding in the long run. The muscles at the end of your rectum are subject to twitching when you are affected by Anal Fissures. The skin crack produces excruciating discomfort.
There are times when the fissure is deep enough to reveal the muscle beneath. Stool softeners and topical painkillers are examples of therapies that might expedite recovery and aid in easing discomfort. The tear usually repairs itself over time. The fissure is regarded as chronic when it lasts longer than six weeks. If these remedies don’t help an anal fissure, surgery can be required. Anal fissures can also be caused by other underlying conditions, which your doctor may need to rule out.
Symptoms
One or more of the symptoms listed below may result from an anal fissure:
- A skin tear that is apparent around your anus might be visible.
- An acute ache during bowel motions in the anal region can be felt.
- A skin tag or little skin bump near the rip may appear.
- Traces of blood on the toilet paper or stools after wiping can be seen.
- The anal region may be scorching or itchy.
If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a doctor promptly and do not ignore them.
Causes
The most frequent cause of an anal fissure is passing firm and large stools. The skin around your anus might also become torn due to chronic constipation or persistent diarrhoea.
However, not all anal fissures indicate constipation or a low-fibre diet. Fissures that don’t heal well or those that aren’t in the posterior and midline region of your anus could be signs of an underlying problem. Additional reasons include:
- Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
- Other medical conditions causing reduced blood flow to the area
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- Anal trauma from instrumentation or childbirth
Using Homoeopathy to Treat Anal Fissure
Homoeopathy treats the underlying causes of the disease and heals it by addressing the patient’s lifestyle, previous medical history, and mental state in addition to the current symptoms. Additionally, it helps patients to avoid surgery.
The majority of anal fissures will heal on their own without surgery. As exposed sores, anal fissures should be kept dry and clean to promote the body’s natural healing processes. Anti-inflammatory ointments, sitz baths, a high-fibre diet, and plenty of fluids can all help existing fissures heal and stop new ones from forming.
A diet high in fibre can help keep your stools soft and regular. This is essential in avoiding further anal fissures in the future. For most persons, a daily fibre intake of 25 to 35 gms is adequate. It’s important to improve your dietary fibre intake and get lots of fluids each day. This aids in promoting rapid wound healing and softening faeces to make them easier to pass. To enhance your daily consumption, you might want to consider taking fibre supplements.
Auxiliary Care
Anal fissures cannot always be prevented, but you can lower your risk by following these precautions:
- Keep the anal region dry.
- To prevent constipation, gently wash the anal area with mild soap and warm water.
- Avoid fried, greasy, and processed foods.
- Consume more green vegetables and fruits.
- Eat fibrous foods, drink lots of fluids, and exercise frequently.
- Address diarrhoea promptly by treating it.
- If present in newborns, change diapers often.
- Avoid using laxatives, as they can lead to addiction. Prolonged use followed by abrupt discontinuation may result in more severe constipation. Do not rely on them.
