Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern. Your symptoms seems to be related to analyse fissure.
The most important prerequisite to healing is to minimize pressure on the anus while passing stools and manage the pain during and after bowel movements. You can do by making dietary changes that enable easier passage of stools. Some advicesthat I can give to you are :
-Avoid chilies, and hard to digest foods.
-Stay hydrated by including lots of fluids and roughage to your diet.
-Apply coconut oil, aloe compresses and wheat germ oil to the affected areas to speed up curing.
-Sitting in warm water for about twenty minutes, three times a day, can provide considerable relief. This is known as known as sitz bath.
-keep the area dry to avoid infection and other discomforts like itching and burning. You can dab a little baby powder after a shower, but avoid cosmetics that are scented or harsh on the skin.
-Cleaning the anus with soft facial tissues is better than using normal toilet paper. This will minimize irritation to the sore tissues.
-Cleaning the area a couple of times in a day with an infusion of chamomile and witch hazel will help the blood vessels to shrink and heal quickly.
-Calendula balm also helps reduce pain and itchiness.
-Creams containing vitamin A and D can also be applied to the anus.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
