In this blog, we will discuss fissures, their symptoms, their causes, how homeopathy can help in their treatment, and the benefits of constipation treatment through homeopathy.
What is a Fissure?
A fissure is a small tear in the anus lining. It can be relatively painful, uncomfortable, and sometimes bleeding during defecation. It is also known as an anal fissure. Fissures can be caused due to constipation, straining, diarrhea, and sometimes by an injury. This fissure can either be short-term or long-term, that is, acute or chronic. If fissures are treated properly with homeopathy, proper diet, and lifestyle, then fissures can heal naturally.
Symptoms of Fissure
The presence of an anal fissure may trigger several painful sensations that may make even the most routine activities uncomfortable and painful during bowel movements. The severity may vary from being acute or short-lived to chronic or recurring and long-term. The following are common symptoms of fissure:
- Severe Pain During or After Defecation
The pain is usually severe, sharp, or burning, and it may be of brief duration, lasting between minutes and hours after passing stools. It may be aching such that sitting or walking becomes difficult.
- Bleeding While Passing Stools
Bright red blood dribbles on the toilet paper, in the toilet bowl, or on the surface of stools during a fissure. The bleeding is normally painless but frightful.
- Itching and Irritation Around the Anal Region
Most cases of fissures are accompanied by itching, burning, or irritation close to the anal canal opening. These symptoms result from inflammation and exposure to stool, sweat, or moisture.
- A Visible Tear or Crack Near the Anus
A small tear, sore, or crack can be visibly present around the anus, especially in chronic cases. This tear may seem red, inflamed, or slightly swollen.
- Swelling and Redness Around the Anus
Swelling, redness, or tenderness may be present due to the swelling from a fissure. In some cases, individuals experience a small lump or skin tag along with the fissure.
- Muscle Spasms in the Anal Sphincter
Fissures cause spasms or tightening of the anal sphincter muscle, which may cause pain and make it hard to pass stools. Such spasms can slow healing and lead to chronic fissures.
Causes of Fissure
A fissure occurs if the thin, delicate skin in the anus stretches or tears open. Some conditions that may precipitate it are as follows:
- Chronic Constipation
Constipation causes a considerable amount of stress on the lining of the anal canal during an attempt to push out hard stool. Repeated constipation promotes the formation of a fissure.
- Passing Hard or Large Stools
Passing hard, dry, or large stools can cause the anal tissue to be overstretched and injured, resulting in a fissure.
- Diarrhea or Frequent Loose Stools
Diarrhea can cause irritation and inflammation in the anal region, making the skin more susceptible to tearing.
- Straining During Bowel Movements
Over-exertion in straining while passing stools as it cannot pass through puts much pressure on the anal muscles and may increase the chances of getting a fissure.
- Pregnancy and Childbirth
Women who are pregnant are prone to fissures as the pressure over the rectal area increases. Even a normal delivery will lead to a tear around the anal region because of overstretching.
- Poor Dietary Habits
A diet devoid of much fibre and poor hydration leads to constipation resulting in painful evacuation of the bowl with increased predisposition to tears of the fissures.
- Trauma to the Canal of the anus
Fissures may present following trauma around the anus;
Introduction of extraneous objects; anal penetration rectal examination: rubbing with increased frequency and also through surgical wound injuries.
- Sedentary Lifestyle
Prolonged sitting, especially on hard surfaces, can minimize the flow of blood to the anal region, hence slowing the healing process and promoting the vulnerability of the skin to fissures.
- Unreasonable Use of Spicy and Processed Food
Consumption of spicy, oily, or processed food increases irritation in the digestive tract thus causing constipation, diarrhea, and increased strain in the anus area.
- Some medical conditions
This is directly related to severe cases of fissures, and some medical conditions that predispose people include:
Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD like Crohn’s disease
Anal infections or STDs
Poor circulation or less blood flow to the anal region
Homeopathy Treatment For Fissure
Homeopathy is a natural and holistic approach to treating fissures. It reduces pain, heals the affected area, and prevents recurrence. Homeopathic remedies work by improving digestion, softening stools, and strengthening the anal tissues to prevent further damage.
The homeopathic treatment of fissures is tailored according to the patient’s symptoms. Unlike mainstream treatments, homeopathy tackles the root cause and ensures permanent relief. It can also forego surgery in many cases.
