Question

My child is one year old and has been diagnosed with anal stenosis by a doctor. No treatment has been taken yet. I would like to know how to handle the situation, as well as the cause of the excess flesh at the anal opening and the medication treatment for anal fissures.

Answer

You can go to a children’s hospital for anal dilatation therapy. The dilation is done based on the tension of the anal sphincter muscles. After surgery, you can start with a finger-width dilator and insert it for about three minutes each time, gradually adjusting to a thumb-width dilator. Anal dilation helps promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent anal stenosis after surgery. For anal fissures, warm water sitz baths and the use of ointments can be used for treatment.
