Treatment of crack

Many people would like to know how to treat anal fissures but before going into details about the methods that can be effective in treating anal fissures, we need to know more about the condition and its causes.

What is an anal fissure?

fissure is a fissure or cut in the anal canal and the last part of the large intestine that passes stool. 

This occurs in the intestines when passing hard or large stools. Anal fissures cause pain, bleeding, or spasms in the ring of muscle at the end of the anus (sphincter). When the fissure begins to form, you will feel a sharp, cramping pain in your intestines.

Anal fissures are very common in infants and children, but they can affect people of any age. In general, an anal fissure heals on its own within four to six weeks. If the fissure does not heal within this time, it may become chronic and require medical or surgical treatment to treat the anal fissure.

What are the home remedies for fissures?

An anal fissure is called a rectal fissure and people who suffer from constipation are more likely to suffer from this problem.

 Medicines can control the problem to some extent, but you can try these home remedies to reduce it somewhat.

Olive oil: Olive

oil is a rich natural laxative that can help ease bowel movements. It enables you to pass stool easily and has anti-inflammatory properties. 

To use, mix equal amounts of olive oil, honey, and beeswax in a bowl. Heat in the microwave until the beeswax is completely melted.

Allow it to cool and apply to the affected area, repeating as necessary.

Aloe vera:

Aloe vera has pain-relieving properties and can relieve the symptoms of anal fissures. It also helps in repairing damaged skin tissue. To use, cut a single leaf of the aloe vera plant and cut it into strips and use a spoon to scoop out the gel.

Alternatively, you can opt for the organic aloe vera gel available in the market. Apply this gel on the affected area and relax for some time. Use often for better results.

Take a Hot Bath:

Nothing beats a warm bath to relieve the discomfort caused by a fissure. It also reduces pain, swelling and itching in the affected areas. 

Fill a large bathtub with warm water. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil and mix well. Sit in the tub for 15 to 20 minutes. You can take these baths two or three times a day.

Apple cider vinegar: Apple cider

vinegar contains a fiber called pectin, which promotes bowel movement and improves digestion. This includes preventing anal fissures. You can take apple cider vinegar by mixing it with honey in water.

Coconut oil:

Coconut oil acts as a lubricant because it contains triglycerides that help heal anal fissures. 

You can apply coconut oil to the affected area. Do this 2-3 times a day to prevent fissures.

Avoid junk food: fast food

causes indigestion, which aggravates the condition of the genital fissure. So it is highly recommended not to eat junk food if you are constipated.

Eat high-fiber

foods: High-fiber foods, such as wheat bran, beans, peas, pumpkin seeds, and soybeans, prevent stools from becoming too hard or too liquid. Eating high-fiber foods is one of the effective home remedies to prevent anal fissures.

Drink plenty of water with fruits:

Foods that contain a large amount of water help to rehydrate the body. It also promotes bowel movement and improves digestion, reducing the effort involved in passing stool.

Drink plenty of water:

 It is very easy to make a real difference in your overall health as water helps in transporting nutrients to the cells of the body, as well as removing toxins from vital organs.

The most common method for determining how much water to consume per day is the so-called "8 x 8 rule".

You want to drink at least 8 glasses of water 8 times a day. I can't stress enough how important it is to drink plenty of water every day, so if you don't do anything else on this list, make sure you at least drink plenty of water.

Keep Your Body Clean:

I know this is a simple thing to do every day, but I think it should be on this list.

To heal any injury to the body, the most important thing you will do is keep the area clean so you don't get infected. 

If an anal fissure becomes infected, you will likely undergo surgery to correct the problem.

So, to avoid this situation, I want to make sure you shower daily and keep your ass clean all day after every bowel movement.

Use soft toilet paper to clean up after a bowel movement:

Now is not the time to use cheap toilet paper because you are trying to save money. You want to use the softest toilet paper you can buy. 

The less abrasive the toilet paper is when cleaning the slit, the better.

Exercise:

Exercise is really good for your health, both physically and mentally. Now that you have an anal fissure, your options for exercise are limited, but there are still plenty of exercises you can do that will help your body in the healing process.

Exercise promotes better cardiovascular health, which helps the heart to pump more blood to the body's organs. 

This is very important because the anus is one area of ​​the body that doesn't get as much blood flow as the other areas.

It is important to note that not all types of exercise are recommended while an anal fissure is present. 

Here is a list of some of the recommended exercises and the ones you may want to avoid. As with any exercise, it is always important to consult your physician before beginning any exercise program, especially in these circumstances.

Good exercises for you while recovering from an anal fissure:

• Walking.
• Yoga.
• Stretching exercises.
• Do light housework or gardening

Prohibited exercises for an anal fissure patient:

• Cycling.
• Lifting heavy weights.
• Contact sports or those that require a lot of running.
• Any exercise that would cause you stress during exercise.

Rest assured that there will not be any side effects when using these natural anal fissure remedies that we mentioned in the article, but make sure that the ingredients are of good quality and brand. Always try to use natural, unfiltered aloe vera as it will be more effective and try using the roots instead of the gel-based products in the market.

When using the olive oil method, make sure the oil is pure. The water in the sitz bath should also be clean so that the problem does not get worse. If discomfort worsens or a rare allergic reaction occurs, contact your doctor.
