Brief Answer: Possibility of fissure in anus Detailed Answer: Brief Answer: It's due to fissure in anus Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Namasthe Greetings of the day Dear Mr XXXXXXX First and foremost let me reassure it's nothing serious. From the description given you seem to be suffering from fissure in anus. It usually occurs due to small tear in anal mucosa due to passing of hard stools. Reduced intake of water and diet alteration could have precipitated this episode. It usually causes streaking of blood on stools. Due to presence of ulcer it provokes spasm of both external and internal anal sphincter further aggravating pain and constipation. Exact diagnosis will depend on visual examination. There is no cause for concern. Follow religiously everything I will be advising you. 1. Ensure good intake of water: 2 to 3 liter of water per day. 2. High fiber diet 3. Syrup Lactulose: 10 ml twice a day. It is laxative and will ensure soft stools and allow complete healing of fissure 4. Hot Seitz bath : Add a handful of common table salt to tub of lukewarm water. Sit in it immersing your anus and bottom. Warm water will reduce the pain and spasm. Sit for 15 minutes thrice a day 5. After Hot seitz bath; after the bath and also before and water going for stools apply Xylocaine Ointment to the anal opening. It will reduce the pain being a local anaesthetic. 6. Nitroglycerine ointment: apply it locally to anus before going to bed. It will relieve the spasm. 7. Tablet Ibuprofen will be helpful to reduce pain. Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you. Take care Best Regards Dr Deepak Kishore MBBS, MS, MCH Consultant Surgeon
