This is a tear in the anal skin and mucosa, which subsequently becomes chronically inflamed and forms a constantly rupturing, non-healing, narrow ulcer. These tears are noticed primarily from the back (coccyxward) of the anus. As a result, there may be high pressure from the sphincter muscle that sits under the mucosa. The reason why the wound does not heal is due to poor blood circulation, which in turn is due to increased resting pressure of the sphincter muscle. A skin fold often forms on the outside of the fissure.
Fissures can also be caused by manipulations and infections, here it is necessary to find the right treatment, so it is recommended not to hide such processes.
The main complaint is sharp, burning pain during defecation. Occasionally, the pain is felt very strongly even without defecation and leads to very painful anal cramps. The cramps additionally prevent the fissure from healing. During defecation, the ulcer ruptures and may bleed. Occasionally itching occurs.
Treatment is recommended by medication. In addition, local anesthetic ointments are applied and soft bowel movements are provided. Alternatively, there is the possibility of complete removal of the fissure.
Anal care should not be performed by wiping, but by douching the anus. Bidetlity is helpful in this case, as it allows for gentle and effective cleaning of the anal area without causing friction or pressure on the sensitive skin. Using a podusche can avoid additional strain on the anal area, as wiping with toilet paper is often painful and irritating to the skin. A podusche with an adjustable water temperature and intensity makes it possible to adjust cleaning according to individual needs and sensitivities.
