Patient's question:
I am currently breastfeeding. The baby is 5 months old. Recently, I have been experiencing severe pain in my anus when defecating. It feels like it's not coming out properly, and when it does, there's blood. It's extremely painful. I can't sit down after a bowel movement because it's too painful. I suspect I might have anal fissure. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The situation does not rule out the possibility of anal fissure, and it is one of the common causes of bowel movement pain and skin breakdown. For this condition, warm potassium permanganate bath can be used, and topical medications such as Taining ointment or Ma Ying Long Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment can be applied to resolve it. Early anal fissures can be treated with dilation, while chronic anal fissures often require surgery for.The above advice is for the question "I am currently breastfeeding. My baby is 5 months old." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
