Resepcted user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Fissure is a clinical finding by inspection only it doesn`t require
sigmoidoscopy at all.
*For Chronic constipation of 7-8 years , Colonoscopy has better positive results
as compared to sigmoidoscopy.
*Take following caring steps for your intestines & then see what happens in
coming time :
- drink plenty of liquids in form of boiled water, coconut water, lemon juice,
green tea, home made juices , butter milk etc.
- have more green leafy vegetables, cereals , pulses, legumes, yoggurt .
- balance diet in carbohydrates, vitamins , minerals , anti-oxidants , trace
elements , proteins , iron .
- avoid all oily / spicy / nonveg stuffs / beverages / junk foods / cheese /
items with menda / excess ghee / sugars / artificial sweeteners .
- chew your food very thoroughly.
- have small amount of food at intervals .
- keep fix timings of breakfast, lunch , dinner till possible .
- avoid prolong fasting / overeating .
- avoid sleeping for atleast 2 hours after lunch / dinner .
- avoid smoking / alcohol / abuse substances used if any .
- do regular walking , light exercises at home with YOGA compulsorily .
- avoid stress / anxiety .
- have regular sound sleep of 8 hours .
- Use Sitz bath regualarly for fissure .
- Can apply local ointments for fissure & bulk laxative agents for
constipation .
Hope this clears your doubts .
