Anal fissure can be treated in many ways. The usual and easy advice is to get surgery. However, there are other suggestions like using antioxidant skin recovery cream, or Nitroglycerine ointment. You can try many options, but treatment is not only about taking away the pain and discomfort. You should also check the possible things that could complicate the healing process. Some people are curious about whether gout can cause complications to the relief of anal fissure. There are concerns that diabetes can cause problems with healing, but is it proven to be true? Can gout, arthritis and diabetes complicate anal fissure relief?
Gout is a complex kind of arthritis that can cause sudden attack of severe, burning pain, redness and swelling in the joints, often the big toe. Gout arthritis is the buildup of uric acid in the blood, which may form hard crystals in the joints such as the feet, ankle, knees, and other joints. People who are overweight, alcoholic, or eat meat high in purines (natural chemicals produced by the body) are more prone to it. There are studies that show people having both gout and anal fissure at the same time. It was discovered that these affected people also had other same conditions such as hypertension, asthma, increased blood cholesterol, and diabetes.
Diabetes or diabetes mellitus, is a group of metabolic diseases wherein a person has high blood glucose or blood sugar levels due to inadequate production of insulin (a hormone excreted by the pancreas that enables the body to use sugar from the carbohydrates one takes in), or when the cells in the body do not respond well to insulin. It could also be both. The affected person will always be very hungry (polyphagia) and thirsty (polydipsia), and will experience frequent urination (polyuria). The patient will also feel more fatigued, feel numbness in the hands and feet, and will have cuts and bruises that do not heal for a long period of time. Due to this, it would be hard for a diabetic person with anal fissure to be healed. The tear in the anus may be treated, but it would take longer than usual.
Can gout, arthritis and diabetes complicate anal fissure relief? Since diabetes can slow down the healing of wounds, and the treatment of anal fissure, and since according to studies, there are people with diabetes who also have gout arthritis, then you could say that both conditions can complicate the relief of anal fissure. Although there are no specific studies or proven results that tell how gout arthritis can affect the treatment of anal fissure, there is still a big possibility that it has an impact on anal fissure.
Studies are continuously being performed, and people are still being observed. The relation is very close, and it would be best to be cautious at all times. It advisable to eat the right kinds of food to avoid gout and diabetes, and practice a good regular exercise to maintain a healthy body and lower the chances of having these certain conditions.
