Homeopathic treatment
Fissure in ano or anorectal fissure is largely considered as a medico surgical disoder
according to modern medical science. However, allopathic line of treatment is limited
to few oral pain medications, stool softeners, soothing ointments, which are all
relieving a few symptoms and that too for a very short period of time. This is mainly
opted for acute fissures but in chronic ulcers though conservative allopathic treatment
may be tried, yet in majority of cases this treatment fails and surgical management
is called for like anal dilatation, fissurectomy, excision of anal ulcer and so
on. Unfortunately in most of the cases this has also been unsuccessful. Moreover,
you may have trouble controlling flatulence after surgery.
At that time the patient asks IS SURGERY ONLY OPTION FOR TREATMENT OF FISSURE IN
ANO? AND OUR ANSWER IS NO.
Anal fissure or anorectal fissure finds an excellent treatment with homeopathy.
Think of surgery only after a fair trial with homeopathic medicine. Most cases get
well and rarely need surgery if treated properly by a competent homeopath.
Now you must be thinking HOW HOMEOPATHY HELPS AVOID SURGERY? The mainstay of surgery
is to produce cuts in the muscles surrounding the anus to reduce anal spasms. The
same goal can be achieved without using knife.
Homeopathic medicines are basically aimed at enhancing the healing process. They
facilitate healing, improve blood circulation to affected parts, relieve the anal
spasm, alleviate pain, prevent infection, relieve constipation and treat all the
symptoms related to anal fissure in totallity. This goes a long way to prevent recurrence
of the condition.
Usually this problem recurs following allopathic treatment. But in homeopathy therapy
chances of recurrence are almost nil. The main reason for recurrence of this condition
is tendency to constipation. While choosing medicines the cause of constipation
for a particular patient is also evaluated such as sedantary habits, dietary errors,
faulty feeding habits, mental stress, weakness of digestive system muscles and so
on. The remedies administered encompass these factors and helps to relieve constipation
tendency itself.
Timely administered homeopathic medicines take care of acute and chronic fissures
gently, effectively, and without producing any side effects. The treatment is based
upon individual study and evaluation of the case.

What is anorectal fissure or anal fissure or fissure in ano or anal ulcer
Fissure in ano or anorectal fissure is a very common and painful condition. This
condition is characterized by a longitudinal crack in the skin of anus. If the skin
lining of the lower end of the anus gets scratched, it may break up into a fissure.
They most commonly occur in the midline posteriorly, the least protected part of
the anal canal. In males fissures usually occur in the midline posteriorly (90%)
and much less common anteriorly (10%). In females fissures on the midline posteriorly
are commoner than anteriorly (60:40).
Causes
- Most common cause of the fissure in ano is CONSTIPATION. Chronic constipation due
to any reason (such as habitual, drug induced, pregnancy and so on) leads to recurring
abrasion or forceful rubbing of the anal mucosa, which leads to a fissure.
- Spasm of the internal sphincter has also been incriminated to cause it.
- When too much skin has been removed during operation for hemorrhoids (piles), anal
stenosis may result in which anal fissure may develop when hard stool passes through
such stricture.
- Following bout of diarrhea or following passage of bulky stools very quickly (especially
in children).
- Multiple pregnancies.
- Chronic use of laxatives.
- Rarely, a fissure may be the manifestation of underlying disease like Crohn's disease,
ulcerative colitis, sexually transmitted diseases, cancer and so on.
- Surgery for piles (hemorrhoids) done imperfectly.
Symptoms
- Pain while defecation : The lower anal canal is extremely sensitive area of skin
and can produce fairly significant signals of pain if damaged. Sharp agonizing knife-like
pain starts when the individual passes stool. The pain is severe and persists for
an hour or so. It ceases suddenly. After the pain goes off the sufferer remains
comfortable till the next action of the bowels. The individual tends to be constipated
rather then go through painful ordeal. If a fissure becomes chronic and deep, dull
aching kind of pain develops that starts a few minutes after the bowel movement
and can persist for hours after passing stools. The chronic fissure pain is due
to spasm of the internal sphincter muscle and can be quite debilitating.
- Severe spasm of the anal sphincter.
- Blood streaks on stool : The bleeding associated is bright red and associated with
some pain or tenderness in the anus. It usually occurs as streaks on the outside
of the stool, or spots noted on toilet tissue.
- Discharge, swelling and pruritus ani (anal itching) occur especially with chronic
fissures.
Anorectal fissures or anal fissures may present as ACUTE FISSURE of recent origin
(less than 6 weeks of duration). At this stage they are superficial. Some of them
may deepen to reach underlying layers and present as chronic fissure of a long duration
(more than 6 weeks of duration) or recurring fissures.
Diagnosis
Clinical examination of the patient is required to diagnose this condition; no complicated
procedures are required. With careful evaluation of the symptoms and a close look
at the anus, a diagnosis of fissure can be confirmed.On examination:
- A tightly closed puckered anus is seen which is the diagnostic point of this condition.
- A split or cut in the posterior midline of anal mucosa.
- Lateral fissures.
- Acute fissures are superficial with sharply demarcated edges.
- Chronic fissures are usually deeper and may have secondary features, including hardening
of the edge of the fissure, a sentinnel pile which looks like a small skin tag and
hypertrophied anal papillae and so on.
Home remedies
- Several times a day, sit in a warm sitz bath for 20 minutes. This relaxes the anal
sphincter, reducing spasms and their associated pain.
- Prevention of anorectal fissure involves avoiding constipation and diarrhea through
diet and excercise.
