Anal Fissure Treatment in Homeopathy – Can Surgery Be Avoided?
The answer is ‘Yes!’ It is possible to avoid surgery using Homeopathy in most cases. But first, let us understand what anal fissures are – when and how it starts? Importantly how Homeopathy can help to get over it. The pain, embarrassment, and experience of seeing blood from the buttocks can be emotionally traumatic for many people, causing them to suffer in silence. An anal fissure, often confused with hemorrhoids, is a tear in the sensitive tissue lining the anus. Around 1 in every 10 people suffer from anal fissures. Infants and middle-aged individuals are most likely to suffer from them. Yet, they affect people of all ages and gender. Unfortunately, people often avoid the symptoms until they become painful and fatal. Fissure treatment in Homeopathy is considered among the most effective treatment options for the problem. It is because Homeopathic medicine for fissures effectively provides symptomatic relief from the condition and treats the root cause of the problem.
What is Fissure-In-Ano?
The anus is a sphincter, an elastic opening through which your bowel movements pass from the body. An anal fissure or fissure-in-ano is a small tear that develops near your anus due to excessive stretching, pressure, or scratch. A fissure forms in the lining of the anus, most commonly towards the front or back. It can cause pain & bleed with bowel movements. Some tears or ulcers are large enough to expose the underneath muscles or tissues. Homeopathy treatment for anal fissures can cure both acute and chronic fissures effectively.
Fissures are of 2 types:
- Acute Fissures – Lasting less than 6 weeks duration
- Chronic Fissures – Lasting more than 6 weeks duration
Why is a Fissure Formed?
Factors that may lead to trauma or tear in anal mucosa are listed below:
- Constipation – Constipation is among the most common causes of fissure-in-ano. Chronic constipation, such as habitual constipation, drug-induced constipation, or constipation due to pregnancy, leads to abrasion or forceful rubbing of the anal mucosa leading to a fissure. Untreated or neglected constipation is the main culprit that harms the anal canal over time.
- Diarrhea –The bout of forceful diarrhea leads to passing bulky stools very quickly, particularly in children, and can cause injury to the anal mucosa, resulting in a fissure.
- Chronic Use of Laxatives –Laxatives or purgatives is habit-forming. Using laxatives for a long time and then stopping their use may cause more constipation. Constipation may further lead to fissures.
- Sedentary Lifestyle – This cause is most commonly seen in type A personalities who tend to sit for long hours without taking a break from work. Drivers are also affected due to a similar cause. The prolonged sitting hours lead to sluggish blood circulation toward the rectal muscles. Continuing the same lifestyle for years together leads to the loss of muscle tone of the anal muscles. Lesser no activity further adds to the slow gut movement (peristalsis), thereby leading to constipation and the formation of hard stools.
- Trauma –Trauma to the anal mucosa due to hard stools or anal intercourse is also one of the causes of fissures that many patients hesitate to narrate during case history.
- Multiple Pregnancies –Women may develop anal fissures during pregnancy or childbirth due to recurrent straining during labor.
- Underlying Other Diseases –Fissure may be a manifestation of an underlying disease, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, sexually transmitted disease, tuberculosis, cancer, etc.
Fissure treatment in Homeopathy resolves the issue to a greater extent and can cure anal fissures without surgical intervention.
How To Know If You Have Fissures?
Following are some symptoms that can be associated with an anal fissure:
- Severe pain while passing stools
- Severe spasm of the anal sphincter
- Itching & swelling in the anal region
- Discharge from the anus
- Streaks of blood with stools or on the toilet paper
- A small lump or a skin tag near the anal fissure
Homeopathic medicine for fissure can promote healing and helps relieve discomfort.
Diagnosis of Anal Fissure
Usually, diagnosis of an anal fissure is simply by examining the area around the anus. However, they may want to perform a digital rectal exam to confirm the diagnosis; so that they can prescribe an individualized fissure treatment in Homeopathy. In this exam, the doctor inserts an endoscope or anoscope into the rectum to see the tear more clearly. An anoscope may also help your Homeopath to find other underlying causes of anal or rectal pain, such as hemorrhoids.
