An anal fissure is a disease caused by damage to the anus. This disease is relatively common in life. The most direct symptom is obvious pain during defecation. The incidence of this disease is relatively high, so we must pay attention to prevention in normal times. Anal fissures are generally caused by the following major causes.
What factors can cause anal fissures?
1. Mechanical damage
Mechanical damage may lead to anal fissure, that is to say, if some inspections of the anal area are performed in daily life, and the operation is not standardized, it may cause damage to the anus, causing the anal tissue to be torn, and then it will develop into an anal fissure. In this case, active care is required, as long as the means of care are obtained, it will be able to return to normal soon.
2. Lack of moisture
Nowadays, many people do not have the habit of drinking water frequently in their lives. They always want to drink water after they are thirsty. If they do not drink water for a long time, their bodies are always in a state of water shortage, which may cause anal fissures. Because the body lacks water, the stool will be dry, and constipation is prone to occur. If the stool is severely dehydrated, it will cause excessive friction on the anus during the defecation process, which will damage the anal tissue.
3. Bad eating habits
Poor eating habits may lead to anal fissures. For example, many people in life like to eat spicy and irritating food. Such people have a higher probability of suffering from anal fissures. Because spicy food is irritating to the body itself for a long time, after a large amount of chili is absorbed, capsaicin will also irritate the tissues around the anus during defecation, which will cause serious damage.
4. Constipation
Constipation can be said to be one of the main causes of anal fissures because patients with constipation will have hard and dry stools, and it will be difficult to defecate, requiring constant force, which will cause damage to the anal canal skin during the process of force, and even appear In the case of tearing, people with constipation have a higher probability of anal fissures. Once constipation is found, it should be recuperated in time to avoid anal fissures caused by increasingly serious constipation.
5. Lack of vitamins and fiber
If the body lacks a large number of vitamins for a long time, it may cause anal fissures, because intestinal peristalsis and absorption require a large number of vitamins, and vitamins can regulate intestinal functions. As for cellulose, it can promote intestinal peristalsis and avoid constipation problems, so if the body lacks vitamins and cellulose, it may cause anal fissures.
Although anal fissure is relatively common, it is generally not particularly serious. Once an anal fissure is found, it is necessary to improve the cause in time. At the same time, it is necessary to take good care of the skin at the anal fissure, especially to avoid bacterial infection, otherwise, it may lead to some infectious diseases, which will seriously affect the health of the body.
