When you have them, anal fissures are painful and annoying to say the least but thanks fully there are some very good at home treatment options available that can help with easing symptoms as well as aiding healing. This is a complete manual on the way to deal with and maybe cure anal fissures at home.

What is an Anal Fissure?

Anal fissure– a tiny tear in the skin around your anus This condition is more frequent due to other health issues including constipation and the low amount of fiber in diet, as well as direct trauma or previous anus surgery. Common signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids may include pain, bleeding or a lump near your anus.

Home Remedies for Anal Fissure?

If the tear is acute (symptoms are present for less than 6 weeks), significant benefit can be derived from home treatment. Chronic fissures (lasting more than 6weeks) can be symptomatic of an underlying condition which may need medical attention.

Anal Fissures: Best Home Remedies

1. Sitz Baths: Soak the rectal area in warm water for 10–15 minutes a few times per day, to help ease pain and recovery.

2. Stool Softeners – Mild stool softeners or fiber supplements bought over the counter can soften the bowel movement and reduce damage caused during passage.

3. Fiber-Rich Insert: One answer is to eat a lot of fiber—meaning fruits, vegetables and whole grains—a diet approach that can prevent constipation by making sure ingested food keeps moving in the same direction.

4. Adequate water consumption: it is necessary to drink a lot of fluids in order that feces ar soft and you are not dehydrated.

5. Topical Analgesics — Lidocaine is the active ingredient in over-the-counter creams that numb your skin when you apply them to trouble spots.
