Anal Fissure Remedies
While anal fissures typically don’t lead to more serious problems, they can be a pain, literally. If you have ever experienced an anal fissure, you likely feel like you are the only one who has ever had the problem, but this issue is actually a common problem among people of all ages. No matter the cause of rectal tearing, we suggest these natural remedies for anal fissures: olive oil, aloe vera, and comfrey.
What Is an Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is simply a tear in the lining of the lower rectum. Most fissures are considered acute or short-term and last only a few days to a few weeks; however, a fissure that has not healed after 8 to 12 weeks is considered a chronic condition and may require additional treatment.
What Causes Anal Fissures?
A common condition, rectal tearing affects individuals of all ages and is actually particularly common in young and otherwise healthy people. The root cause of a fissure is injury or trauma to the anal canal; however, this injury can be caused by a number of factors. Passing a large stool, being constipated and trying to pass a hard stool, having diarrhea, and giving birth are the most common culprits. Crohn’s disease is another fairly common cause of anal trauma.
