FAQs
How do you heal an anal fissure at home?
Most anal fissures will
heal on their own, but you can help the process along with a little self-care.
Here’s some advice:
To make pooping more comfortable, consider a stool softner.
Use a step stool to support your feet while sitting on the toilet,
which helps position your hips in a squatting position.
Wipe your anus
carefully with soft paper or alcohol-free wet wipes. Consider using a bidet, or showerafter pooping.
Apply a
topical ointment or cream to your fissure. Petroleum jelly can promote healing
by sealing in moisture and acting as an antibiotic. Medicated creams can treat
inflammation and pain.
Take a sitz bath, two or three timesa day for at least 10-15 minutes. This is a shallow, warm water
bath that you sit in to soak your anus. It can relieve your symptoms and help
relax your muscles.
Should I adjust my diet while living with an anal fissure?

Drink more water
Eat more fresh
fruits and vegetables
Avoid spicy
foods and nuts while you have symptoms
