Question
Hello doctor,
I am a boy, 23 years old this year and just performed anal fissure surgery 10 days ago. After surgery, I went to the toilet once every 3 days. Every time I go outside, it hurts because the wound has not healed, it is very normal, no bleeding. So far, I see signs of healing, a little itching and can walk normally, but when I go to the toilet, I have symptoms like severe constipation (I sit with moderate force to push stool out to the anal hole). but then it got stuck and couldn't come out, then I soaked it in warm water and continued to try hard, after 30 minutes, I split the seeds until the stool was gone) I gently rinsed with warm water mixed salt and soak for another 4 minutes. After that, when I entered, I felt pain and swelling and a feeling of tightness and heaviness in the anus. Please tell me if this is serious and how to fix it after anal fissure surgery? I thank you!

Answer
Hello,
To the question "How to fix after surgery for anal fissure?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Cases that have undergone surgery should be examined. reviewed and consulted by my own surgeon because I do not know what surgical technique to treat your anal fissure is.
You can fix it after anal surgery (hemorrhoids, fistulas, fissures, ..) by soaking the anus in warm water, 1 to 2 times a day. Eat a diet rich in vegetables, fiber, avoid constipation so that the healing process of the anal area is progressed smoothly.
If you still have questions about overcoming anal fissure surgery, 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.
Best regards!
