Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I believe I have an anal fissure. Sometimes I notice blood on TP. It comes and goes. Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of #2 because I’ve been eating a lot of spicy foods. So it got worse. It has a pain to it and been lasting for days now. How can I heal it at home?
A confirmation is must for the diagnosis by a consultant surgeon, but here are the salient guidelines for a probable cause of a fissure.
- drink more liquids - high fiber diet with green leafy veg, cereals, pulses, legumes - avoid spices, non-veg, junk food stuffs - sitz bath (sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water) - local application of xylocaine jelly over anal region - bulk-forming laxative as Ispaghula husk or Psyllium husk with warm water at bed time - avoid smoking or alcohol if consuming - avoid anal intercourse (if involved)
Fix an appointment with your primary care provider for examination and further guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
