Treatment method for anal fissures

Anal suppositories

In terms of the level of danger, this disease is not classified as a life-threatening pathology. But still there are a lot of problems from cracks. Constantly during bowel movements and even after it, you have to endure severe pain; over time, if adequate treatment is not carried out, the pain intensifies and becomes unbearable.

They may even appear, provoked by the patient himself. After all, going to the toilet becomes a painful task, so people prefer to endure it. And this leads to serious digestive disorders.

Conservative methods are used for treatment. First of all, it is necessary to establish normal bowel function that does not injure the anal area. To do this, the stool must be made soft.

For more details on the instructions for the medications, read the article suppositories for cracks and hemorrhoids.

The role of laxatives in treatment

By making your stool softer and your bowel movements more frequent every day, you can eliminate one of the main reasons why a fissure occurs around the anus. Medicines that facilitate bowel movements are divided into the following groups.

• Emollients (vaseline and sea buckthorn oils, Norgalax). At home, for problems with the anal sphincter, counter microenemas are used 10 minutes before bowel movement (100 ml of pasteurized sunflower oil and 200 ml of boiled water at room temperature).
• Agents that increase the volume of intestinal contents: herbal based on agar or psyllium (Naturolax, Mucofalk, Fiberlex), based on cellulose (Fiberal, Fibercon).
• Polyhydric alcohols: Duphalac, Normaze, Lactulose (standard, non-irritating to the intestines), Sorbitol, Macrogol, Lactiol (see all laxatives).

Why does a crack appear?

The success of treatment depends on correct diagnosis of the causes of the crack and their timely elimination:

1. The most common cause, especially in children, is chronic constipation. Hard feces stretch the lower rectum and damage the mucous membrane, resulting in a linear or triangular defect. If constipation is quickly eliminated, the fissure heals well within 4–5 weeks (acute course). With frequent injury, it constantly breaks down and becomes chronic (if it does not heal after 5-6 weeks), over time it can become infected and lead to the development of paraproctitis and, which is a direct indication for surgical treatment.
2. Women often develop hemorrhoids during pregnancy and childbirth (rapid labor, improper obstetric care, deep perineal rupture).
3. Mechanical injuries - during diagnostic examinations, as a result of anal sex or an accident.
4. Inflammatory and infectious bowel diseases - proctitis, enterocolitis, helminthic infestations, dysbiosis, Crohn's disease and other diseases accompanied by chronic diarrhea. Found in adults and children.
5. Poor hygiene of the anal area (diaper rash).

The appearance of a crack can be caused by poor nutrition (fatty and spicy foods, coffee, alcohol), a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and heredity.

If nutrition and lifestyle can be improved, then heredity remains with us forever. It is necessary to learn to recognize the disease at an early stage and not give it the opportunity to destroy the body.

Method of using rectal suppositories for rectal fissures

Rectal suppositories are usually used 1-2 times a day. They need to be inserted into the rectum. For best results, suppositories should be inserted after visiting the toilet, as well as after hygiene procedures.

For convenience, you can use latex gloves or finger pads. If they are not available, wash your hands thoroughly with soap. Suppositories should be stored in the refrigerator, but before using them it is recommended to take them out half an hour before use so that they reach room temperature - for more comfortable insertion.

The suppository must be inserted into the rectum while lying on its side. The suppository must be inserted slowly without sudden movements, so as not to damage the rectum or strengthen the wound surface.

After the procedure, doctors advise lying down for at least half an hour so that the medicine does not leak out and can be normally absorbed into the intestinal mucosa. That is why it is better to use candles at night, for ease of use.

Suppositories for anal fissures intended for children are cut into pieces right in the package so that the suppository does not melt in your hands. In addition, before using the suppository, it is necessary to lubricate its tip with glycerin or petroleum jelly, and then insert it into the child’s intestines - this will reduce the risk of injury due to child restlessness and spontaneous contraction of the sphincter during insertion into the intestine.

1Symptoms of pathology

When a person develops cracks, in all cases they are accompanied by bleeding, usually a very bright red color. Small drops of blood may remain on the toilet paper or, in the case of serious damage, even drip in large quantities.

Then the crack gradually shrinks and this becomes the cause of quite severe itching.

Anal fissures are an extremely unpleasant phenomenon that causes severe pain.

Due to the fact that with rectal fissures a person constantly feels pain and defecation leads to bleeding, the patient begins to develop a psychological fear of going to the toilet. In this regard, defecation is delayed, which causes frequent severe constipation, and this affects the condition of the cracks, which begin to diverge and increase in size.

Methods for treating cracks

Treatment depends entirely on the severity of the disease and symptoms and is a combination of various drugs and methods.

Conventionally, all treatment methods can be divided into three groups:

• Patients in the initial stages are prescribed conservative treatment, which consists of a combination of a certain diet and moderate physical activity. It is recommended to build a proper diet and eliminate factors that may aggravate the course of the disease. Such factors include a sedentary lifestyle, bowel movements of any etiology, alcohol, and physical overload. To relieve symptoms, local effects are used: baths, ascending showers. Symptomatic pharmacotherapeutic agents can be used. These are, as a rule, ointments and suppositories for hemorrhoids and fissures.
• in the absence of positive dynamics in the patient’s condition, they can resort to active proctological methods, among which are physical therapy, novocaine blockades, coagulation of the fissure and divulsion.
• For patients with a severe course of the disease, severe pain or scar tissue changes, surgical treatment can be performed, which is carried out by excision of defective tissue areas.

But let us dwell in more detail on such a treatment method as the use of pharmacotherapeutic agents. These can be ointments that provide an analgesic or wound-healing effect.

Rectal anti-inflammatory suppositories for the rectum can also be used. To achieve an anti-inflammatory effect, such suppositories contain hormones. For example, Ultraproct suppositories contain a glucocorticosteroid.

Such treatment methods are very effective in the acute period of the disease, when it is necessary to eliminate the primary symptoms of the disease - pain, itching, bleeding.

Suppositories, or suppositories as they are also called, are a convenient form. The oil or other type of fat included in their composition has a general laxative effect, and the medicine, enclosed in the form of a suppository, is easily and quickly absorbed. Suppositories, depending on the medicine they contain, can have different effects, and below we will discuss the main properties of this form of treatment for anal fissures.

3 Popular candles against anal fissures

Today you can find a huge number of remedies for rectal fissures. Candles are very popular, because they are not only effective, but also very convenient to use. It is worth noting that suppositories for anal fissures deliver the active substance directly to the site of damage, which speeds up the healing process several times. Such suppositories perfectly heal wounds in the rectum, relieve spasms, relieve pain and, of course, kill pathogenic microorganisms that can get into the crack.

Causes and symptoms

In adults and children, the source of cracks in the anus is damage to the integrity of the rectal mucosa. The following factors are the source of anal fissures:

• persistent constipation associated with poor nutrition or gastrointestinal problems;
• mechanical injuries from foreign objects;
• pregnancy and labor;
• pathologies that provoke the inflammatory process:
• dysbacteriosis;
• colitis;
• helminth infection;
• hemorrhoidal cones.

With rectal fissures, it is very painful for the patient to go to the toilet. When defecating, a small amount of scarlet blood is released from the anus. When the anal fissure tightens, the patient experiences an itching sensation in the posterior canal. You should not delay the treatment of an anal fissure; you must urgently consult a doctor who will prescribe laxatives and anti-inflammatory tablets, suppositories, ointments or other proctological local remedies.

A pharmacist can select suppositories for cracks in the anus, but do not underestimate a consultation with a proctologist when selecting medications.

Types of diagnosis of anal fissures

In most cases, the doctor can determine damage to the walls of the anal canal through a simple examination. If there is acute pain, before the examination, anesthesia is performed by injecting novocaine or spraying the damaged area with an aerosol with an anesthetic effect. Based on the shape of the anal fissure, the nature of the bottom and edges, the specialist determines the stage of development of the disease (acute or chronic).

In addition to the examination, laboratory tests and instrumental diagnostic methods are required. The patient is recommended to undergo a general blood test and a coprogram (stool test). Additionally, one of the following types of instrumental diagnostics may be prescribed:

• ultrasonography;
• rectoscopy;
• anoscopy;
• irrigoscopy.

Main types of suppositories

The composition of medications in this group is very diverse. Suppositories based on propolis, methyluracil, ichthyol, glycerin and even sea buckthorn can be used in the therapy process. Each of these means has a number of undeniable advantages.

With methyluracil
