Anal fissures are not a major disease, but they can be painful and can be like torture when you use the toilet. Women are prone to anal fissures, and can be triggered by picking their mouths and poor menstrual hygiene. In addition, young and middle-aged people, both men and women, are among the “favored” group of people for anal fissure disease. What are the main causes of anal fissures? 1, abnormal bowel movements constipation is the biggest bane, force to solve the dry feces, will certainly make the anus under greater pressure, resulting in stasis, swelling, fissures and a series of pathological changes. Diarrhea can also increase the chances of local infection in the anus, producing diseases such as anal sinusitis, inflammatory external hemorrhoids and perianal abscesses. 2, occupational factors Long-term standing or sedentary. Because of the upright or sedentary posture, the anorectum resides in the lower part of the body, and the hemorrhoid veins do not reflux well. 3, bad defecation habits squatting and prolonged defecation time, easy to cause stasis of blood in the anorectum and induce disease. Some people do not care whether the feeling of defecation is strong, blindly keep struggling hard, so that the rectum and pelvic floor muscles increase unnecessary burden and local stasis of blood, leading to the occurrence of disease. 4, chronic diseases such as long-term malnutrition, physical weakness, causing the anal sphincter relaxation and weakness. Chronic hepatitis, hepatic steatosis, diarrhea, colitis, etc. are all triggers for the occurrence of anal diseases. Therefore, in the prevention should focus on the patient’s general condition and take reasonable and effective preventive measures. 5, dietary factors in daily life, the quality of food, water intake, can directly affect the fecal composition, causing anorectal disease. People who drink alcohol or eat spicy food for a long time will stimulate the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, leading to colon dysfunction and a significant increase in the incidence of anorectal diseases. The “warm water therapy” for anal fissures A patient reported having hemorrhoids for more than 40 years, having had two surgeries, but they were not eradicated. In the past two years, hemorrhoids have turned into anal fissures, and every time he has a bowel movement, it is painful and bloody, which is unbearable. One day in March last year, the bleeding caused by the fissure increased dramatically. I squatted in the toilet for a long time before I could barely stand up holding the wall, and for the next few days I was so weak and limbless that I could barely walk. He had no choice but to go to the hospital for treatment. The doctor who received him said to me after a detailed diagnosis that hemorrhoids are common and frequent among the elderly, and that he was already in his 70s, so even if he was treated, it would not be easy to eradicate them. The doctor suggested not to buy medicine this time, after going home, in addition to the usual attention to diet and rest, can be more than 30 degrees Celsius in a basin of warm water and then add 2-3 grams of salt (for disinfection), every night before going to bed to sit in the basin of water soak for 10-20 minutes until the water cools, so there will be an effect, long-term persistence, anal fissure can be basically healed. This method will not eradicate your hemorrhoids, but it will certainly relieve you of your pain! After listening to the doctor’s words, I did not buy any medicine and went home and soaked once in the way he said, and felt very comfortable that night. This boosted his confidence in this treatment, and after soaking for a few days, the symptoms of anal fissure were quickly relieved without any side effects. In accordance with the doctor’s instructions, he adhered to this “warm water therapy” carefully. In the past six months, whether working, walking or defecating, the fissure symptoms were completely eliminated and my daily life returned to normal. I found the theoretical support of “warm water therapy” by checking the information. This method can effectively relax the sphincter around the anus, improve the local blood circulation, promote the disappearance of inflammation, reduce the pain of anal fissure patients, and make the anus locally clean, which is conducive to the rapid healing of anal fissure wounds. The rapid healing of fissure wounds. However, as a senior doctor, I would like to remind you that during the treatment period, anal fissure patients should not eat spicy food, nor should they overwork themselves, and they should keep their stools moist frequently, so as to lay a good foundation for the healing of the disease. This method is only for mild anal fissures, but the more severe ones should be treated surgically.
