What to Do About Anal Fissures?

Question

The child has been crying and fussing a lot lately, and doesn’t eat much. What should I do about anal fissures?

Answer

Pediatric anal fissures are often caused by constipation. Treatment should first focus on addressing the constipation itself. It is recommended to give the child probiotics to nourish the intestinal flora, drink plenty of hot water, and consume fresh vegetables and fruits. In the morning on an empty stomach, drink a glass of dilute salt water or honey water. If anal fissures occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for reset and ensure proper fixation. Medication may be necessary in some cases to prevent severe constipation from causing anal fissures again.
