Patient's question:
My child had a birthday, and it's a boy. The doctor diagnosed him with linear stricture of the anus. No treatment has been taken. What should I do? Additionally, there's an extra piece of flesh outside my child's anus, which doesn't have folds. What could be the reason for this? Recently, he has also developed an anal fissure, and I don't know what medicine to use to treat it. Please, doctors, can you help me solve this? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
You can go to the children's hospital for dilation. The basic requirement for dilation is based on the tightness of the anal sphincter. After the surgery, the wound is usually started with a finger. Each time, an dilator with a diameter approximately equal to that of the index finger is inserted for about three minutes. Later, it can be gradually adjusted to increase in thickness. The thickest one is generally just as thick as a thumb. Dilation has two benefits for patients after surgery: one is to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the other is to prevent stenosis after anal surgery.
