What to do if anal fissure does not heal

Anal fissure is a very painful thing, and the wound is difficult to heal. Since the area near the wound is more susceptible to infection than other parts, daily care is also very important. The biggest cause of anal fissure is constipation. Long-term constipation can easily cause anal fissure. Therefore, patients with anal fissure should regulate their bodies more and ensure smooth intestinal circulation. So, what should you do if anal fissures do not heal?

Smooth bowel movements

Long-term constipation is the main cause of anal fissure. Therefore, maintaining smooth bowel movements is crucial to the prevention of anal fissure. Patients should develop a habit of daily bowel movements, defecate regularly, and increase outdoor activities appropriately. If necessary, they can take laxatives such as liquid paraffin, fruit laxative tablets, etc. They can also use Chinese medicine rhubarb, Panxie leaves, etc. to make tea and drink, which can soften the stool and facilitate defecation. Taking a hot water bath after defecation can improve local blood circulation, promote inflammation absorption, relieve pain, and relieve the patient's nervousness to facilitate defecation. Adjust the mentality: strengthen the education of anal fissure hygiene knowledge, explain to patients in detail the pathogenesis, prognosis and recovery of the disease, so as to relieve patients' tension, enhance their confidence in fighting the disease, and thus keep their mood comfortable and peaceful.

Eat a healthy diet

Reasonable meal arrangement is helpful to ensure smooth bowel movements. You should eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and crude fiber foods, eat less or avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink more water to ensure that the gastrointestinal tract has abundant digestive juice secretion, which is beneficial to gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation.

Pay attention to personal hygiene

Keeping the anus clean, cleaning it in time after defecation, taking frequent baths, and changing underwear frequently can effectively prevent infection. If the amount of bleeding is heavy, you should go to the hospital for treatment. If the amount is small, you should strengthen observation and pay attention to eating blood-enriching nutritional supplements and foods to enhance the body's resistance.
