Fissure is a health problem that affects both men and women today. Lifestyle and eating habits are the main cause of fissures

What is a fissure?

Fissures are small cracks or wounds in the skin around the anus. In 90 per cent of people, the fissures appear in the middle of the skin at the back of the anus. Many people mistake this disease for a pimple because it looks very similar to a pimple caused by the thickening of the nerves in the root.

What are its symptoms?

The main symptom of this is severe burning for one or two hours after passing the stool. The pain is felt like stabbing with a blade or knife. Along with this, severe bleeding occurs. Bleeding is usually seen as small streaks in the stool. A small lump in the anus is also a symptom of a fissure. This fat is called a skin tag. It is because of this swelling that people mistake it for acne.

Let's understand the causes of fissure:

Constipation is a major cause of fissures. Cracks are more likely to occur when the stool is thick. Frequent bowel movements can also cause fissures

Porottas, kuboos and roti made with refined flour are foods that lack fibre. Consuming these can cause constipation and cause fissures. Similarly, lack of exercise, tension and lack of sleep are also causes of fissures.

Why is it more common in women?

Fissures also occur with diseases such as tuberculosis, syphilis, HIV, and leukaemia. Fissure usually occurs after delivery in women. Many women are reluctant to drink water because of bloating during pregnancy. When water intake is reduced it results in constipation and causes fissures. Similarly, due to the pressure of the child, the stool becomes very thick. This can cause anal fissures. Anal fissures can also occur in women due to excessive straining during delivery. Fissures occur mainly in women due to these three reasons. The main cause of fissures in men is due to excessive consumption of certain foods.

How are piles, fissures and fistula different?

Piles, fissures and fistula are all three common problems in the anus. But these three often confuse us. Let's see how these three differ. In a fistula, a pus-like fluid comes out of the gap between the anal crack. Usually, it is not seen in the areas where the stool passes. After passing the stool in the fissure, there is severe pain in the anus. Bleeding is usually seen as a line in the stool. Piles usually cause less pain but more bleeding. Piles are also a condition in which thick lumps come out of the anus.

Dietary considerations for disease control include:

2. It is better to use whole-grain rice and wheat.

3. Changing Toilet Habits:

We have many toilet habits. Those who have the habit of sitting on the toilet for a long time, holding a mobile phone and newspaper in the toilet should avoid these completely. Because sitting in the bathroom for too long and straining too much can cause fissures. Similarly, many people have a habit of holding back even when they feel like going to the toilet. Such habits also need to be changed.

Set aside 45 minutes of exercise at least five days a week.
