It all started with itchiness 1-2 weeks ago and I don't really know what happened my diet isn't bad either, I've used aloe vera once, vaseline 2 times, and mustard oil 5-6 times in 2-3 days. It's a sensitive topic and I don't want to visit a doctor in person so any help would be much appreciated. |

Anal fissures are very common in young infants but can affect people of any age. Most anal fissures get better with simple treatments, such as increased fiber intake or soaking in a warm-water bath. Some people with anal fissures may need medicine or, occasionally, surgery. It will be difficult to give a reliable opinion without further details and examination of your problem. Kindly visit hospital. |

Are there any potential complications or long-term effects associated with anal fissures? Reply:- Anal fissures can sometimes lead to complications and have long-term effects if left untreated or if the underlying causes are not addressed. Some potential complications and long-term effects associated with anal fissures include: Chronic fissures: If an anal fissure persists for an extended period or becomes recurrent, it is considered chronic. Chronic fissures may be more challenging to heal and can lead to ongoing pain and discomfort. Infection: Anal fissures can increase the risk of infection, especially if there is poor hygiene or if fecal matter enters the open wound. Infection can cause additional pain, swelling, and discharge. Abscess formation: An abscess may develop if bacteria from the digestive tract infect the area around the fissure. Abscesses are painful, localized collections of pus that require medical intervention, such as drainage and antibiotics. Fistula formation: A fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the anal canal to the skin near the anus. Chronic or untreated fissures can lead to the formation of fistulas, which may require surgical intervention to repair. Anal stenosis: Scarring caused by repeated or chronic fissures can lead to narrowing of the anal canal, known as anal stenosis. Anal stenosis can make bowel movements more difficult, causing pain, constipation, and other complications. Psychological impact: Living with chronic anal fissures can have psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, and decreased quality of life. The persistent pain and discomfort associated with anal fissures can significantly impact daily activities and overall well-being. |
