Accepted Answer

Anal fissures: Anal fissures are a tear, that scars and reopens with the passage of stool. They are often associated with hemorrhoids and difficult to heal. Local medications and control of constipation help. Okay to check in with your doc. If your constipation is under control, you may benefit from a surgical consult and procedure. Be well.

Question 6

how do i know if i have a hemorrhoid, or anal fissure?

Accepted Answer

Have it evaluated: I suppose if you were a contortionist and had a mirror you might figure this out by looking. However, spotting a fissure would not rule out having a hemorrhoid internally that could be your main problem.Having you doc or a GI doc do a formal anoscopy (look at and up your anus) would sort this out. If you just have minor itching down there, local application of emollients like coco butter can help.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Many: Warm sitz baths help.  Witch hazel soaked cotton balls plastered to the anal area helps.  Otc meds like preparation h helps.  Keeping the bowel soft helps.  Avoiding constipation or diarrhea helps.  Anal fissures may need prescription meds and or surgery for treatment.  Hemorrhoids usually are self limited but may need opening or surgery.  See pcp or surgeon for eval.

Question 8

how to tell if it's an anal fissure or hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Anal fissures tend to be very painful. Hemorrhoids are usually only painful if they are thrombosed. A thrombosed hemorrhoid usually presents with a large, tender bump on the anal area.

Question 9

can you give me suggestions for anal fissure or hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Gentle: Cleaning off after a bowel movement should be gentle.  Pre-moistened  towlettes can be used to dab the anus. Don’t wipe/rub.  Pat the anus dry after cleaning.  Avoid using harsh soaps that contain dyes or aromas. Want to keep stool soft. Stay well hydrated (at least 8 - 8 ounces glasses of water per day). Try to get in 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day – get that fiber in.

Question 10
