How to prevent anal disease

The human body is an organic whole, and the occurrence and aggravation of anal diseases do not exist in isolation, but are closely related to the condition of the whole body and affect each other. For example, chronic diarrhea, enteritis, cirrhosis of the liver, ascites and dry stools in gastrointestinal diseases can cause anal diseases such as hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Therefore, in the process of treating anal diseases, if the treatment of primary diseases such as enteritis and diarrhea is neglected and only anal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures and anal fistulas are treated, satisfactory long-term results cannot be achieved. The prevention and treatment of anal diseases should start from the whole, while combining the whole with the local, and it is very important to treat the whole body diseases while treating anal diseases, such as treating constipation when treating anal fissure. It is important to treat digestive system diseases and regulate gastrointestinal functions in a timely manner. When suffering from chronic enteritis and internal hemorrhoids, the former must be the focus of treatment, and after the symptoms (the original disease) are controlled or cured, then treat the hemorrhoids, or both at the same time for better results. The first thing you need to do is to have a good bowel habit, so that you can have a bowel movement once a day and shorten the bowel movement time as much as possible, do deep breathing exercises when you have a bowel movement, do not exert too much force, and take 5-10 minutes for each bowel movement. Do not hold back the stool for a long time, to avoid the formation of habitual constipation, reduce the impact of dry hard fecal mass on the rectum of the anal canal compression and lacerations. Constipation patients should usually eat more vegetables and fruits that contain more fiber, such as celery, leeks, cabbage, spinach, bananas, apples, etc.. Eat less stimulating food, such as chili, ginger, wine, etc., to reduce the stimulation of the rectum of the anal canal. Develop good habits, don’t overeat and don’t starve your belly. To keep the anus clean, when possible, it is best to take a sitz bath every night before bed (or after a bowel movement) to reduce the chances of inflammation and infection in the anus. It is important to do timely and thorough treatment for perianal inflammation to avoid the formation of anal fissures and fistulas. Use oily ointments and less volatile solutions sparingly in the anorectal area to prevent blocking the openings of anal glands and sweat ducts and affecting their normal physiological functions. Do not sit in a wet place for a long time. It is not advisable to rub irritating chemical drugs in the rectum of the anal canal to avoid congestion and edema of the skin mucosa, causing inflammation, etc. Pregnant women in late pregnancy should do appropriate exercises every day and often raise both lower limbs to lie flat, which facilitates the return of blood to the lower limbs and pelvis to avoid varicose hemorrhoid veins. Patients suffering from sigmoid colon, rectum, anus and other diseases should take the right side position when sleeping to reduce the pressure on the left colon and promote local blood circulation, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease. People engaged in sedentary, standing and squatting occupations (drivers, hairdressers) should frequently change their positions, increase their activities appropriately, and participate in interval exercises. When running under weight (long-distance march), use your fingers to massage the anus through the pants, once every half hour. At the same time of massage, cooperate with deep breathing and anal lifting exercise, every 5-10 times/minute, to strengthen the contraction function of anal sphincter and promote venous blood return. Anal lifting exercises can improve local blood circulation, improve the function of the anal sphincter, prevent anal relaxation, and are effective in preventing and treating hemorrhoids and prolapse. Method (sitting, lying or standing): Inhale, suck the anus upward with force, tighten the anus, and relax when exhaling. Each time the anus is relaxed and tightened 30 times, once in the morning and once in the evening. If you can do the anal lifting exercise in the chest and knee position (kneeling on both knees, chest against the bed, raising the hips), the effect is even better. The effect of hip flexion and anal lift is even better. Method: Lie on your back, cross your legs and lift your hips (so that your thighs are as close to your abdomen as possible), and do it 20-30 times. Exhale when flexing the hips and relax the anus, once a day in the morning and once in the evening. In addition, you can also do sit-up exercises to increase the strength of the abdominal muscles, to improve bowel function is very helpful. It is also important to prevent constipation and diarrhea to avoid the development of perianal abscess or fistula. Actively treat systemic diseases that cause perianal abscesses, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, intestinal tuberculosis, etc. If you have burning discomfort or falling sensation in the anus, you should be promptly treated.
