It is very common for pregnant women to suffer from anal fissures, most of which are caused by constipation. Not exercising regularly during pregnancy, coupled with an overly refined diet, can easily lead to anal fissures. For anal fissures, the first thing to do is to properly handle bowel movements. However, many pregnant women are cautious and do not dare to use medication indiscriminately, fearing that it will affect their babies, but also afraid that the problem will worsen. So, what should be done for anal fissures during pregnancy?
The anal fissure during pregnancy can be improved through daily care, such as adding more water to help soften stool, so that feces can be more easily discharged. Pregnant women should drink at least 1 liter of water every day, but not carbonated drinks. In addition, they can drink more liquid food such as millet porridge and mung bean soup.
Pregnant women should also maintain good living habits and have regular bowel movements to promote smooth bowel movements. Generally, the best time to defecate is after breakfast. Once you feel the urge to defecate, go to the bathroom to defecate. Do not hold back and avoid worsening constipation. In addition, it is recommended that pregnant women engage in exercise such as walking after meals, which can also help improve constipation.
Pregnant women with anal fissures can skip medication treatment for now, but if the condition is severe, timely treatment is necessary because anal fissures belong to hemorrhoid diseases. If left untreated, it can worsen symptoms and even trigger other symptoms. The most obvious manifestation of anal fissure is pain, and the degree of pain indicates the severity of the fissure, and the duration also varies from person to person.
