The use of hemorrhoid creams can have some effect on the symptoms of anal fissures. However, hemorrhoid creams can only temporarily relieve the itching and pain caused by anal fissures, but cannot effectively cure them. In fact, the main cause of anal fissures is chronic dry stools and constipation, which leads to fissures or fractures at the end of the rectum. Although hemorrhoid creams have some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects, they cannot repair the fissured anal canal tissue. Therefore, in order to cure the root cause of anal fissures, you must improve your diet and lifestyle. Eat foods rich in vitamins and coarse fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables in order to improve dry stools or constipation, and patients can also take Sophora pills orally with the treatment. Also apply erythromycin ointment or Yunnan Baiyao to the affected area to prevent wound infection and promote wound healing.
