Fissure Treatment
Conservative Management
Most acute anal fissures heal with conservative measures including high-fiber diet, adequate hydration, sitz baths, and topical medications. Dr. Adarsh, based in Bangalore, prescribes calcium channel blocker ointments and nitroglycerin preparations to relax the internal sphincter and improve blood flow to the fissure for natural healing.
About Conservative Management
Conservative management of anal fissure is the first-line treatment for acute fissures and involves a combination of dietary modification, topical medications, and lifestyle changes. Dr. Adarsh prescribes a structured 6-8 week protocol including high-fiber diet, adequate hydration, topical nitroglycerin or diltiazem cream, sitz baths, and stool softeners. Surgery is considered only when conservative measures fail.
