Question
Hello doctor,
Once, due to constipation, I had bleeding in the stool. I had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with an anal fissure. Now it only takes a little bit of firmness to make the fissure bleed again even though I have a fairly regular bowel movement, once a day in the mornings. So the doctor told me how to definitively treat anal fissures that cause bleeding during defecation? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How to definitively treat anal fissures that cause bleeding during defecation? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Anal fissures have many causes such as constipation or anal infection. Depending on the cause, there is a complete treatment. If it's just constipation, you need to change your diet, drink enough water to avoid constipation, or take Duphalac 1 pack a day to soften stools. You can also apply an anal emollient such as zinc oxide.
If the bleeding during defecation still does not go away, you need to see a gastroenterologist to have a colonoscopy to find the cause.
If you still have questions about anal fissure causing bleeding during defecation, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
