Anal fissure can cause discomfort, pain and bleeding that can affect your everyday routine and activities. When you experience fissures in your anus, you want a fast relief from the discomfort and pain so you can go about your life normally.
To treat anal fissure in fast, easy, natural way, try the following:
- Apply hot and cold fomentations on the affected area. Take a clean, soft, cotton cloth and soak it in warm water. The water must not be hot. It must be warm enough for you to handle. Wring any excess water from the cloth and apply on the fissure. Repeat this 3 times and follow with a cold fomentation using the same process, replacing the warm water with cold water instead.
- Apply some olive oil on the affected area. It helps soften the stool and protects the skin surrounding the anal area from further damage, resulting to faster healing.
- Use petroleum jelly as a lubricant. When you have fissure in your anal canal, passing stool can be very difficult and painful. To help ease the pain and make your bowel movement easier, lubricate your anus with petroleum jelly every time you will pass stool.
- Apply Aloe Vera directly on the affected area. The cooling effect of the Aloe Vera gel together with its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties helps heal anal fissure faster. Take one leaf and peel off pulp. Apply the gel on the fissure 3 to 4 times a day. It will take away the pain and discomfort almost immediately after application.
- Soak in your tub with warm water or sit on a basin full of warm water for 15 minutes to relieve the pain. The warm water relaxes the muscles on the anus and keeps it clean as well. Pat dry with clean, soft cotton afterwards.
- Use coconut oil to moisturize the affected area. Coconut oil also has healing and antibacterial properties that help heal the fissures faster. Apply on the affected area as needed throughout the day and apply again before going to bed.
- For faster relief from pain and better healing, apply wheat germ oil in the affected area. Do this at least twice daily. Wheatgrass oil boosts the production of growth factors that promote faster healing.
- Comfrey salve combined with Aloe Vera, plantain and Vitamin E boosts healing. Apply the salve on the fissure after every bowel movement and before going to bed.
- Cocoa Butter – It is highly emollient and deeply moisturizes the tissues surrounding the anus. Apply on the fissure as often as necessary. It promotes faster healing by making the skin and tissues more pliable and supple.
- Witch hazel infused with chamomile is another easy home remedy that promotes faster healing the natural way. Witch hazel is astringent and antibacterial. The healing properties of chamomile also help boost healing. Use it to clean the area after every bowel movement and before going to bed at night.
You can use any of these home remedies or use them in conjunction with one another to facilitate even better and faster healing.
