ANAL FISSURE

What is Anal Fissure?

Anal fissure is a painful sore on the sphincter mucosa, and is associated with constipation.

Where is it located?

If we compare the anal sphincter with a clock, the 12 is up and the 6 is down, the fissure is located at the 6th and 12th hour, i.e. at the top or bottom of the sphincter fissure, and it is created after a difficult bowel movement. It bleeds and causes intense, acute, pain and anxiety as it is incorrectly associated with internal bleeding. The blood is fresh red and is visible in the toilet and during wiping. The pain persists after a bowel movement and is intensified in the sitting position. It follows an inflammation and if the diet is not improved and constipation is not treated, with medication, it bleeds again after each bowel movement.

Which are the causes of Anal Fissure?

The most common cause is constipation. The most common cause of constipation is stress. The severe stress, the change of diet that is low in fibers, the lack of water and the sedentary lifestyle without exercise cause constipation, and constipation (hard stools) causes unpleasant and painful anal fissures.

HEMORRHOIDS

What is Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are small, swollen veins in the anus filled with blood. Before they swell, they are small vessels and are present in everyone. Hemorrhoids are directly linked to constipation and they grow from the constant and intense effort to defecate. Improving your lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in fibers, the consumption of 1.5-2 liters of water per day and lactulose intake, the constipation is treated, and therefore the causes that create hemorrhoids. When they first appear, they are small and it is easier to be cured by changing the diet and taking diosmin.Without the treatment of constipation, hemorrhoids may grow, bleed, and require surgery in order to treat them.

PILONIDAL ABSCESS

The coccyx or pilonidal abscess is a cyst inside the skin, in the last skin layer, the subcutaneous tissue, near the tailbone at the top of the cleft of the buttocks. It contains hairs and often after adolescence becomes inflamed and infected. The causes of inflammation are the presence of hair, the sedentary lifestyle, the skin friction and obesity. When it is inflamed, it causes intense pain, making daily life difficult. It is produced pus and other fluids which are leaked to the surface of the skin. Pilonidal cyst most often affects young people and usually men with increased hair growth at this point, and more often occupations that require a sitting position.When it is inflammatory and painful, antibiotics are given and when the inflammation is gone, then an appointment is scheduled for its treatment.
