Babies have very delicate bodies, so if there are dietary problems or constipation caused by internal heat, it is easy to cause anal fissures in babies. Moreover, anal fissures in babies are not necessarily dry and hard stools, and sometimes loose stools with blood should also be considered as anal fissures. Therefore, many parents cannot detect them in a timely manner. So, what should be done if a baby has mild hardness?
If a baby has anal fissures, surgery is generally not considered and conservative treatment is chosen. The first step is to soften the stool, and laxatives such as lactulose can be used to treat constipation, ensuring that the stool is soft and regular. In terms of diet, attention should also be paid to supplementing dietary fiber. In addition, warm water sitz baths can be taken, and after bathing, it is necessary to wipe dry and apply some ointment to promote wound healing.
Because babies are prone to constipation, and if anal fissures have already occurred, constipation can easily lead to recurrence. Therefore, it is important to pay more attention to the diet of babies, especially to replenish water and avoid constipation as much as possible. If the condition of anal fissures is severe, it is still necessary to seek surgical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible.
Anal fissures are most commonly found in infants and middle-aged people, so parents must pay more attention to their babies' bowel movements. Even if there is loose stool with blood, it may be caused by anal fissures. They must take it seriously, seek medical attention as soon as possible, and follow the doctor's advice for reasonable treatment to avoid more serious consequences to the baby's health caused by long-term anal fissures.
