Anal Fissure Medical Management

Non-surgical treatments for anal fissures include the use of topical ointments, dietary modifications, and sitz baths. Topical ointments can help relax the anal sphincter and promote healing. Dietary changes, such as increasing fiber intake, can prevent constipation and reduce strain during bowel movements.

High-fiber foods including fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains
