Anal fissure bleeding symptoms
The most common clinical symptoms of anal fissure, apart from the intense tearing pain in the anal area, include bleeding during bowel movements. The bleeding from anal fissures is typically bright red, and the amount of blood can increase with the severity of the condition due to repeated stretching of the fissure. Particularly during acute episodes of anal fissures or after defecation, bleeding from the local fissure can be more significant. Patients with bleeding anal fissures generally have a history of dry stools, so the first step in treating anal fissure bleeding is to lubricate the stool. Additionally, topical medications should be applied to the bleeding fissure to promote healing, and hemorrhoid creams with hemostatic properties can be used locally to help stop the bleeding. (Please use medications under the guidance of a professional physician, and do not self-medicate.)
