What should I do if my anus hurts when I defecate

When anal pain occurs during bowel movements, patients must pay attention to the causes. At the same time, they should avoid eating spicy, irritating, and greasy foods, avoid sitting for long periods of time, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation.

1. Constipation is usually caused by irregular eating habits. It is recommended not to eat spicy, fried, grilled, smoked and other foods, but to eat more light foods with high fiber content, such as celery, rapeseed, corn, oatmeal, etc., because fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and can effectively improve the symptoms of constipation.

2. Patients can also eat more fruits and vegetables, such as apples, bananas, pears, etc., which can help with bowel movements. Fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber, which can moisturize the intestines and help with bowel movements, effectively preventing constipation.

3. Of course, in addition to food, you should also take a warm water sitz bath before and after bowel movements every day to relieve the pain caused by constipation. The specific methods are as follows: Sitz bath therapy can relieve constipation, because hot water or the medicine in it can stimulate blood circulation in the anus and rectum and relieve pain symptoms. This method has always been used for treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. Patients can also go to the hospital to prepare some medicines for fumigation at home. The specific method is to boil the medicine to be used with water for about half an hour, then pour it into a basin while it is hot, and put a wooden frame with holes on the basin. The patient can sit on the wooden frame for fumigation. When the water temperature cools to about 40 degrees, the patient can take a sitz bath, that is, immerse the buttocks in the basin for 15 minutes each time, twice a day. Insisting on doing it every day can also prevent anorectal diseases such as constipation and hemorrhoids.

4. If the above methods do not work well for the patient, the constipation may be caused by anorectal diseases such as hemorrhoids and anal fissures. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for an electronic anorectal endoscopy and then receive symptomatic treatment.

5. Electronic anorectal endoscopy can quickly distinguish whether constipation is caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures or other anorectal diseases. Because the electronic anorectal endoscopy is combined with medical video and camera technology, it can clearly magnify the lesion site in the patient's anus and rectum dozens of times. The doctor can quickly find out the cause of the disease and then treat it symptomatically.
