Treatment of anal fissures in Mykolaiv

Anal fissures are longitudinal tears, sores, or ulcers of the rectal mucosa that can appear at any age, but are more common in young people. Causes of anal fissures include a sedentary lifestyle, stress, inflammation in the anus, and constipation.

• burning and itching in the anus;
• blood during bowel movements.

Treatment methods for anal fissures in Mykolaiv

Proctologist deals with diagnostics, treatment and prevention of anal fissures. During the initial examination, the proctologist interviews and conducts a digital rectal examination. If necessary, the doctor may refer to additional tests. After the diagnostics, the proctologist appoints the patient an individual treatment regimen for anal fissures.

Self-medication of anal fissures and untimely seeking medical help can lead to the overflow of the disease into a chronic form and the development of complications such as:

• colitis (colon mucous membrane inflammation);
• prostatitis;
• acute paraproctitis (purulent-inflammatory process in the fatty tissue around the rectum).

Anal fissures can be acute and chronic. Acute anal fissures do not have cicatricial changes and can be treated with conservative methods (ointments, pain relievers). The methods of treating acute anal fissures used by proctologists of the medical center “ON Clinic Mykolaiv” include plasma lifting (injection of one's own plasma). The procedure activates the process of stem cell reproduction and the growth of new, healthy tissues. As a result of plasmolifting, the skin and body tissues are regenerated in a natural way. 

Contraindications for plasma lifting for anal fissures include the following:

• allergic reaction to heparin; 
• blood diseases;
• acute infectious, viral and autoimmune diseases; 
• exacerbation of chronic diseases; 
• oncological and mental illnesses; 
• diabetes mellitus in the stage of decompensation.

Chronic anal fissures are scarring and usually require removal. The medical center “ON Clinic Mykolaiv” removes anal fissures by the radio wave method (using the Surgitron apparatus). The procedure is quick (takes up to 10 minutes), is painless and does not require a long recovery period.

Depending on the symptoms of anal fissure and the stage of its development, the proctologist may prescribe a diet for anal fissures, which, as a rule, includes eating foods high in fiber. Folk remedies for anal fissures can be used only on the recommendation of a doctor as part of complex therapy.
