What is anal fissure?
An anal fissure is a small crack or tear in the anus, often accompanied by pain during bowel movements and bleeding. It can occur for various reasons, and treatment typically depends on the severity of symptoms and the underlying cause.
Why anal fissures occur?
Here’s how and why anal fissures most commonly occur and how they are treated:
- Trauma: Anal fissures often occur as a result of injury of the anal area, for example, during bowel movements when there is straining or difficulties.
- Constipation: Constipation is a common risk factor for the development of anal fissures. Hard stool or straining during bowel movements can cause injury to the anal tissue.
- Passage of hard stool: The passage of hard stool through the anus can occasionally cause microscopic tears that, over time, can lead to a fissure.
How to treat anal fissures?
The treatment of anal fissures focuses on relieving symptoms, promoting healing, and preventing recurrence. Here are some approaches to treatment:
Dietary Changes: Increasing fiber and water intake can help soften stool and prevent constipation. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fiber is important.
Warm Baths: Sitting in a warm bath (also known as hydrotherapy) can help relax the anal sphincter and ease pain, which improves healing of anal fissures.
Local Anesthetics: Your doctor may recommend creams or suppositories containing local anesthetics to reduce pain.
Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce inflammation and pain during the treatment of an anal fissure.
Surgical Treatments: In cases where conservative treatments are unsuccessful or fissures become chronic, surgical intervention may be necessary. Procedures like lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) are used to relax the anal sphincter and increase blood flow to the anal area to promote healing.
It is important to consult with a doctor if you suspect you have an anal fissure or if you experience pain and bleeding during bowel movements. Your doctor will be able to make an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment. Also, cooperate with your doctor to prevent recurrence of anal fissures and adopt a healthy lifestyle that will improve your gastrointestinal health.
Proctofiss® Your mild and efficient support in battling hemorrhoids and anal fissures!
If you’re experiencing discomfort in the form of pain, itching, or bleeding in the anal region, keep reading because this text is written just for you.
Hemorrhoids and anal fissures are often perceived as an uncomfortable and sensitive topic, which can lead to feelings of shame in individuals. The feeling that anal discomfort cannot be openly discussed often leads people into a more severe phase of the disease with more pronounced difficulties that often require surgical treatment. Many people don’t fully understand what hemorrhoids and anal fissures are, how they occur, what the symptoms of an anal fissure are, how they are treated, and they fear being judged or ridiculed if they openly talk about their health problems.
It’s important to understand that hemorrhoids and anal fissures are common and can happen to anyone. People whose jobs involve spending long periods of time sitting have hemorrhoids in 80% of cases. The culprit is the high pressure that sitting creates on the hemorrhoidal veins. Chronic constipation, poor diet, aging, pregnancy, and lack of physical activity increase the risk of hemorrhoidal disease.
In addition to various medications used to treat hemorrhoidal disease, it is recommended to provide care for the anal area. Along with regular and proper hygiene, use Proctofiss® cream, which is based on natural ingredients and is effective support in the fight against difficulties caused by hemorrhoidal disease.
How Proctofiss® eases difficulties caused by hemorrhoids?
The content of Proctofiss® cream is carefully chosen to act local, fast, and effectively.
1) High concentration of hyaluronic acid – Proctofiss® cream contains hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for providing rapid epithelization and adequate hydration to the skin and mucous membrane of the anal area.
2) Fast effect – In addition to hyaluronic acid, Proctofiss® cream contains hamamelis, calendula, menthol, panthenol, and hypericum, whose effect is antiseptic, regenerative, and anti-inflammatory. Also, Proctofiss® cream contains Macrogol, an osmotic laxative that softens the distal part of the stool and facilitates defecation, which is especially important for people with an active anal fissure, as it prevents further widening of the fissure and additional discomfort in the anal area. After application, Proctofiss® provides a measured cooling effect, which immediately relieves the symptoms of hemorrhoidal pain.
3) Safety – Proctofiss® cream contains solely natural ingredients and can therefore also be used for bleeding hemorrhoids.
4) Practical application – Proctofiss® cream is available in a 30ml package. It is recommended to apply the cream 2-3 times a day to the desired area and massage it gently.
