can an new anal fissure be healed ?

Question

I have chronic anal fissures. Are they are any ways to heal them?

Answer 1

Anal fissure: Can be a big pain the arse! but treatment is for symptoms not actual cute. Use witch hazel. Stool softener (colace).

Answer 2

Depends: An early anal fissure can be cured with local treatments such as pain medication, anti-inflammatory medication, and measures to prevent constipation straining and diarrhea. Older chronic fissures may need surgery such as an anal sphincter partial incision.

Answer 3

Conservative measure: High fiber diet, bulk laxatives and Diltiazem or nitroglycerine ointment. Typically these ointments must be mixed by a compounding pharmacist. Botulinum toxin is another option. Surgery is typically a lateral internal sphincterotomy. The division of a small portion of the distal internal anal sphincter.

Answer 4

Tear: An anal fissure is a tear in the lining of the intestine in the area of your anal opening. This can result in pain while having a bowel movement and some bleeding too.

Answer 5

Anal tear: Tear of lining in the anus; tearing type pain during defecation, sometimes bleeding, or infection. Can be treated like hemorrhoids initially, e.g. Soaks, soothing suppositories. Can recur;sometimes sphincter can be too tight; rx'd with meds, injections, or surgery. To decrease the spasm.

Answer 6

Some help: Balneol cream and tucks (witch hazel) pads may be somewhat soothing. Sitz baths with epsom salts may also help. Sit in a bath tub with just enough hot water to cover your anal area (not hot enough to burn you but as hot as you can tolerate) and supersaturate with about 12 tblspn of epsom salts.10 minutes twice a day. Usually is quite effective.

Answer 7

Not really: Prescrption 0.2% nitroglycerine ointment is the therapy of choice.

Answer 8

Anal fissures no fun: Anal fissures are like paper-cuts in the anus. They can bleed, hurt, & recur, particularly with defecation & any other activity that increases pelvic pressure. Disorders of anal-rectal function, straining at hard stool, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, long distance walks/runs are causative & should be addressed. If stool softeners, fiber, topical rx, & behavior changes don't cure, see a surgeon.

Answer 9

Several: Soft bowels with increased water and fiber. Nitroglycerin ointment.

Answer 10

Anal fissure: The management of primary anal fissures is generally non-operative and includes increased dietary fibre, warm baths, topical ointments and botulinum toxin injections. If these treatments are ineffective then surgical intervention may be considered

Answer 11

Only short term: Anal fissures are usually treatable medically and at worse case scenario with surgery.They are not severe life threatening problems if treated properly, and do not shorten life span. If he is missing work from this he needs to get proper treatment so he can return to work permanently.

Answer 12

No: Anal fissures are typically a minor (but very annoying problem). Most can be treated with non-surgical means - some will require a relatively minor operation. Please note: these are not sexually transmitted. They are more likely related to chronic constipation - so dietary modification is often prescribed.
