Anal Fissure

First let us see the differences among piles, fissure and fistula. All the three kinds of problems will be in anus and rectum.

Piles is indicated by pain or painless bleeding due to swelling of blood vessels in the anal canal

Fissure with skin tags leading to painful bleeding due to a small cut or scar at the anal margin.

Fistulas are abnormal small openings next to anus from where anal discharge is occurring.

About Piles we had seen in the previous post here. Now let us take FISSURE

A Fissure is a small tear or cut of the skin just inside of anus. This may be painful when passing stools. Bleeding may also appear. If you treat this early it can be cured easily. Ayurveda, siddha medicines are available. if you don’t treat it at early stages, it will become chronic because blood supply will be reduced to the affected part of the anus due to tightening the anus muscles.

The main reason for fissure is constipation. Because of very hard stools to pass through the anus, muscles are pressed heavily resulting in a tear of the skin at the anal opening. So if there is no constipation this kind of trouble won’t arise normally. A healthy person have to pass motion freely twice daily that is once in the morning then in the evening or at night. In that case there is very low  chance for piles, fissure or fistula problems.  Always prevention is better than cure.

Treatments for Fissure are available at Ayurveda or siddha centres.  Take treatment at early stages. The ointment by name HADENSA will help to heal and will also reduce the bleeding, pain and itching etc and also PILEX a product from Himalaya drug company (refer  www.himalayahealthcare.com ).

Precautions and diets are the same as mentioned in my previous post for piles
