Hemorrhoids or Fissures?

Although these two conditions both appear in the same area, there are distinct differences...

For example, a hemorrhoid is when a vein in the anus becomes swollen while an anal fissure is when there is a tear or a crack in the anus.

However, both conditions can cause pain, discomfort and bleeding and they can both include blood on or in the stool while having a bowel movement.

What are the symptoms of a hemorrhoid?

The symptoms of hemorrhoids can include:

• Bleeding from the rectum.
• Feeling like there is a foreign object in the anus.
• Itching in or around the anus.
• Pain in or around the anus.
• Pain while having a bowel movement.
• Rectal pain.

What are the symptoms of an anal fissure? 

• Suffering from constipation so that hard stools have difficulty in passing.
• When diarrhea means many loose stools during a day.
• Infections (STIs) that spread from one person to another through sexual contact.
• The presence of inflammatory bowel disease or IBD.  There are chronic conditions that can cause inflammation in the intestines.  These include Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
• Another cause can be HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) which of course affects the body's immune system.
• Pregnancy, going into labor and delivering a newborn can also be a cause.
• And suffering from TB (tuberculosis) when you are infected with the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

How to prevent hemorrhoids and anal fissures in the first place?

• Preventing constipation, diarrhea and straining on the toilet is important to prevent both conditions. 
• Ensure that stools are neither too hard nor too soft or loose so that they are easily passed. 
• Getting enough fiber in your diet and drinking plenty of water are important for making sure you have regular bowel movements.
• Avoid straining to pass a bowel movement.

In addition, sitting too long on the toilet can be a contributing factor for hemorrhoids while learning to lift heavy objects in a correct and safe way to avoid strain is also vital.

How to tackle the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids?

Both hemorrhoids and fissures can be relieved by applying ice packs to the area or sitting in a bowl of warm water several times a day to soothe and relax the painful fissure or hemorrhoid.
