Fissure is a condition popularly known as anal fissure. An anal fissure is a cut or tear in the lining of the anal canal, the anus that extends into the canal.

Most anal fissures are smaller than one centimeter. However, the anus is a very sensitive part of the body. So a pain in this area can be quite severe, even with a small tear.

Fissures, which can be seen in all genders and all ages, are also common in babies. Cracked breech in babies occurs when they have intestinal and gas problems or have difficulty urinating.

What are the Fissure Symptoms?

One of the symptoms of anal fissure is pain after using the toilet. Bleeding is among the symptoms of anal fissure, but is usually a secondary symptom. Skin protrusion may occur in the lower part of the progressive breech cracks.

The symptoms of breech cracks can be listed as follows:

• Pain in the toilet.
• Bleeding due to tomorrow's opening.
• Lump near the breech fissure.
• Itching and irritation.
• Difficulty going to the toilet.

Anal Fissure Treatment

The first step in the treatment of anal fissure is to eliminate the problem of constipation. The best method for this is to create a healthy and balanced diet plan.

In addition, attention should be paid to water consumption in the range of 2-2.5 liters per day. Stool softener medication may be recommended for patients who continue to have constipation problems due to spastic colon and intestinal laziness despite paying attention to their diet, or who have anal fissures after delivery.

In addition, applications such as a sitz bath with hot water, the use of topical creams and pomades, and the use of painkillers in people with severe pain complaints are also effective in healing anal fissures and reducing complications related to cracks.
