The most common symptoms of anal fissure include itching followed by a sharp pain (brief or long-lasting) or bleeding when you pass stools. There are a few home remedies you can use to help reduce pain and heal your fissures within a few days to a week that mentioned bellow:
Fiber
This nutrient is definitely the key component in the list of anal fissures relief. The regular intake of fiber will help make bowel movement easier, thus require less pressure and avoid the damage for the anus’s lining and anal fissure pain.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is rich in healthy fats that will lubricate your bowel system, allowing the stool to pass easily. In addition, its anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce pain caused by anal fissures. A study showed that patients with anal fissures noticed reduction in pain, bleeding and itching after using a mixture of olive oil, honey and beeswax.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera has natural healing powers and pain-relieving properties that can ease symptoms of anal fissures and help repair damaged skin tissue. A study found that a topical cream containing aloe vera juice was an effective treatment for chronic anal fissures.
Hot Sitz Bath
To alleviate the discomforts and promote healing, try a hot sitz bath. It will help increase blood flow to the anal area, which aids healing of minor tears or
splits in the tissue. It also helps reduce pain, swelling and itching.
• Fill a large bathtub with warm water.
• Add a few drops of lavender essential oil and stir well.
• Sit still in the bathtub up to your waist for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Take this sitz bath 2 to 3 times a day.
Comfrey
Comfrey is a popular herb that can promote healing and relieve pain when suffering from anal fissures. Both the root and leaves have medicinal properties that help regenerate skin tissues and promote rapid cell growth. This accelerates the healing process.
Add 1 tablespoon of dried comfrey to 1 cup of hot water. Cover and steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and allow it to cool. Use the solution to clean the affected area 2 or 3 times a day.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is another helpful home remedy for anal fissures. Being rich in medium-chain triglycerides, this oil easily penetrates into the skin, keeps the affected area lubricated and starts the healing process.
L-arginine Gel
Arginine, also known as L-arginine, is an amino acid that promotes healing of anal fissures by increasing nitric oxide flow to the affected site.
Take a pain reliever
Using an over-the-counter pain-relieving medication, like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help manage anal discomfort and pain.
Avoid re-injury
If you’re still straining to have a bowel movement while anal fissures are healing, you’ll probably be in significant pain. You also run the risk of getting another hemorrhoid or re-opening your anal fissure before it is healed. Taking a stool softener can make bowel movements easier to pass while anal fissures and hemorrhoids heal.
