Anal fissure.
Consult doctor to confirm diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your symptoms mostly suggests that you are suffering from anal fissure. To confirm the diagnosis you need to visit your doctor once.
I like to explain the management of anal fissure and in the mean time you can consult your doctor and plan for further management.
Once the anal fissure has occurred then the next episode of minor trauma due to
constipation or hard stool will lead the anal fissure to recur. So adequate measures as explained below should be taken to completely heal the fissure.
Anal fissures are usually caused by the bowel movement of a hard stool or repeated episodes constipation. When there is a fissure, the anal sphincter usually goes into spasm, thereby making bowel movements painful and more difficult, thereby delaying healing and sometimes, leading to worsening of the tear.
Now, since your fissure is of a acute onset,the conservative measures should usually be sufficient to completely heal the fissure. You can try the following suggestions:
1. To prevent further hard stools: so eat fibre-rich foods, fruits, drinking plenty of water.
2. Use of laxative like
lactulose for the next few days
3. For the pain and discomfort, use a topical
anesthetic cream such as Lignocaine gel
4. Use
Diltiazem or Nitroglycerine cream before passing stools, in order to relieve the spasm of the anal sphincter.
Try Sitz baths: warm water bath that covers your hips and buttocks for two to three times a day for 20 minutes are often used to relieve pain, itching, or muscle spasms. This will relieve pain and speed healing.
Key factor is to avoid hard stool, constipation and to keep the area dry. So follow the above measures for healing. In most cases, following these measures will heal the fissure and relieve symptoms within a few days or a maximum of 2 weeks.
Also get your pelvic examination done once to rule out any gynecological problem along with
Pap smear.
