What is the difference between Anal Fissures & Piles?& What's their cure?

I think you're asking the difference between hemorrhoids (pile is another name for a hemy) and fissures. If so, a fissure is a small tear or crack in the lining of the a n a l wall. A hemorrhoid occurs when the veins in the a n a l wall are swollen or inflamed. Hemy's are usually as a result of straining to move stool, as when you try to do this, the sphincter muscles go crazy and start to spasm. The fissures can heal in a few days on their own (unless they are chronic, at which point, one may need surgery to correct the a n a l wall). Hemorrhoids shrink up and may swell again. To prevent colorectal and analrectal problems stemming mostly from moving hard/large stool, health experts recommend lots of fiber.

Well... for one, 'asteroids' was already taken.\nFor the other, 'haemo' refers to blood, pertaining to the condition that leads to piles as haemorrhoids.

yes it is, there are several good hemorrhoid medicines over the counter.. if the swelling, and itching or bleeding continues you may have to see a doctor but i have had them real bad and this medicine does help.. may take a few day or almost a week but it will help.. someday if they you get numerious hemorrhoids the doctof may want to remove them..that is a simple surgery and can be done while having a colonoscopy...i hope this information helps you.. you may want to use more fiber or a stool loosener to help you have easier bowel movements and less straining...

hemorrhoids deeper inside the rectum don't hurt as much as ones on the outside. \n\nbright red blood can also be a sign of colon or rectal cancer. if you are over 50 or have a family history of colon cancer, you need to go to the doctor and have a colonoscopy ASAP.

A bidet has a pair of water sprays in there to help cleanse the pubic and anal areas.\n\nNot as problemantic as toilet paper and some of the bidet toilets have a lot of incredible functions.

Passive faecal incontinence or soiling--that is, faecal leakage without awareness--is usually associated with dysfunction of the smooth muscle tissue of the internal anal sphincter or with impacted stool in the rectum. Faecal urgency and urge incontinence are generally related to dysfunction of the striated muscle tissue of the external anal sphincter or to high bowel pressures and a normal sphincter, seen in patients with irritable bowel syndrome or diarrhoea from other causes.

well if you can't or won't go get them cut off, here are some suggestions...\n\nBest results are often shown when one reverts to nature in foods and habits rather than treatments. There are a number of natural remedies and products available for treating hemorrhoids in the market today. Some are in the form of pills while others are creams or gels. These products are derived from naturally occurring herbs such as butcher’s broom, horse chestnut, bilberry and so on. These herbs work by improving circulation around the anal region, which reduces pain and itching and prevents the piles from reappearing. The mode of treatment usually varies depending upon the cause, severity, and duration of the disease.\n\nSome of the leading drugs in the market include\n\nAvatrol: A natural herbal supplement in a pill form that promotes healthy rectal function and circulation.  \n\nN2 Cream: A potent topical treatment, combining natural astringents and herbal extracts to reduce swelling and itching. The cream is applied 3-5 times daily for proper treatment.  \n\nPreparation H: A popular and inexpensive product, Preparation H is used to treat the symptoms and itching associated with hemmorhoids. It does not improve circulation, or prevent them from recurring.  \n\nHemaron: A natural supplement for hemorrhoids that contains Japanese Pagoda Tree extract, and claims to heal hemorrhoids with an amazing 94% success rate! \n\nVenapro: Acts as a natural anesthetic, by lubricating the sensitive passageways and restoring normal blood flow to the rectal area. Contains natural extracts of Vitamin E, Zinc Oxide, L-Arginine, Horse Chestnut, Oat Straw, Mullein and so on. \n\nRue Care Oil: Rue Care Oil is a blend of natural oils with Rue oil as main ingredient for hemorrhoids treatment. Rue oil derives from Rue medical plant used for centuries for natural health care, treatment and cure of skin problems, itching piles, varicose veins, anal fissure, healing of hemorrhoids and much more. \n\nHemorrhoids No More and Roid relief: Made of organic extracts this highly concentrated formula is used for external application and thrombosed hemorrhoids. It claims to shrink and eliminate hemorrhoids upon application within days without scarring, tissue damage, or invasive surgery. This product can be used to treat and eliminate chronic cases of hemorrhoids or those from a recent diagnosis.\n\nZenMED Cool Relief cream: A natural cream with a combination of astringent and anti-inflammatory herbal extracts, which cools and relieves hemorrhoid pain. \n\n\nMany of these natural drugs be it pills, or lotions contain natural ingredients such as:  \nJapanese Pagoda Tree (Sophora japonica)\nJapanese pagoda tree extract is one of the best herbal supplements for naturally treating hemorrhoids. The extract from this tree has a very high success rate of curing hemorrhoidal symptoms. Since hemorrhoids are mainly caused due to enlarged blood vessels, applying the purified herbal extracts of Japanese pagoda tree helps to normalize the permeability of veins and capillaries, strengthen vein walls, and provide the necessary nutrients to maintain optimal vein health.\n\nHorse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum)\nHorse Chestnut has been used to treat various circulation and vein conditions for many centuries now. Studies have shown that this extract has the ability to support vascular circulation, as well as strengthen connective tissues and vein tone.\n\n Butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus)\nButcher's broom is a long-standing natural treatment for hemorrhoids. A natural vasoconstrictor with anti-inflammatory properties, Butcher's broom also helps in strengthening and toning veins. \n\nVitamin E: Free radicals, the cancer causing hazardous waste of the body, can cause cancer. Vitamin E, which is a fat soluble, contains powerful biological antioxidants, which protect our cells from free radicals. \n\nZinc Oxide: One of the biggest problems of hemorrhoids is irritation, itchin

Piles cream (seriously) this is what a lot of models do, it flattens out any wrinkles and reduces puffiness instantly!  I use it and it works, only a thin layer and you don't use the same tube on your butt if you get piles!

Take long baths in a tub with warm water and soak it there. I heard that an Indian folk remedy was dabbing/soaking it in your urine first thing in the morning. Best thing is to buy anti-hemorrhoid creams or suppusitories they are usually OTC and just ask the pharmacist to give you some. Good Luck :-)

Not to be embarrassed, it's all part of being a human being. Things don't work perfectly all the time like they're 'supposed to.'\n\nAll the health things that others have mentioned are good ideas. Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fiber, because my guess is that you're not getting enough, even if this is being partly caused by something like hemorrhoids. Drink plenty of fluids, as well--at least 8 glasses of water a day. If you do that, you shouldn't even need stool softeners.\n\nExcersizing regularly can only help, too. It will strengthen the muscles that aid in elimination, and tone the rest of the muscles in the body, as well as increase your circulation.\n\nIf you find yourself in a jam in a social situation, do what the other person said in terms of showering. But also, there are wipes that you can keep by the toilet--they use them for vaginal and hemorrhoidal wipes (Tucks, I think). They can help to have around in case you can't take a shower, at least it's like a 'hand bath' for that area.\n\nWhen you're rich and well-off if you still are having that problem, you can always have a bidet installed in your bathroom. Lol. No wonder the French are som comfortable!\n\nFeel better.\n\n______________________

This site has testimonials from peope trying various treatments:  http://www.boardsailor.com/jack/af/\nAn acute fissure is managed with non-operative treatments and over 90% will heal without surgery. Bowel habits are improved with a high fiber diet, bulking agents (fiber supplements), stool softeners, and plenty of fluids to avoid constipation and promote the passage of soft stools. Warm baths for 10-20 minutes several times each day are soothing and promote relaxation of the anal muscles. Occasionally, special medicated creams may be recommended. \nA chronic fissure (lasting greater than one month) may require additional treatment. Depending on the appearance of the fissure, other medical problems such as inflammatory bowel disease or infections may be considered and testing may be recommended. A manometry test may be performed to determine if anal sphincter pressures are high. An examination under anesthesia may be recommended to determine if a definite reason exists for lack of healing. \nhttp://www.fascrs.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=3\nTreatment of anal fissures is divided into medical and surgical groups. Medical treatment of acute fissures is based upon topical creams, sitz baths, perirectal hygiene and dietary changes consisting of increasing fiber content. \n\nWhen patients continue to experience symptoms for longer periods of times, surgical intervention is considered. Surgical intervention is best directed at chronic fissures. A lateral internal sphincterotomy is usually utilized. However, the surgeon may wish to proceed with an internal sphincterotomy or manual dilation depending upon the clinical situation. http://www.gastromd.com/education/treatmentanalfissures.html

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse so i can tell you that 'piles' are not a disease or an illness. Anyone can have them, I have them.They are caused either by constipation, or having a baby or some other digestive problem. They are the veins of the anal canal, they sometimes drop down or you can have internal ones.How do you know it's piles.The reason you bleed is because when you pass a stool they press against them causing them to rupture,they are sometimes painfull, they also itch.They can even bleed without passing a stool. I suggest you contact me on gloriashealth@btinternet for some help.Please give me your full e mail address i cannot contact you via yahoo answers.\n\nGloria(BSYA)

Switch to a natural whole foods diet with lots of soluble and non soluble fiber (produce, oats, apples, wheat and rice bran, whole grains) and they will go away..mine did.\n\nSome of the herbs listed for hemorrhoids in Dr. Christopher's huge herbal--"school of Natural Healing" are Black walnut, burdock, butternut, cascara sagrada, chaparral, chickweed, goldenseal, licorice, mullein, plantain, red raspberry. spearmint, witch hazel, and yarrow.\n\nI'm sorry I don't have time to research the application right now but I did with witch hazel..It says take internally and give a rectal injection of an infusion or decoction (tea) and burdock..make a strong tea..cool..inject 3-4 tbs a day (more in bad cases) and especially after each B.M.--mullein =--apply mullein ointment and drink the tea..that should get you started.

You want an honest answer?  Here's an honest and gross answer...\n\nYou are a male, right?  Look at it this way: most PEOPLE hate being on the receiving end of anal sex.  A little anatomy lesson.... There are two ano-rectal sphincters which relax when stimulated from the inside.  Forcing them to open from the outside is difficult and will probably damage something.  \n\nFurthermore, guys have a little gland called the prostate which is accessible through rectal stimulation.  Massaging the prostate is pleasurable for a small percentage of men, but the pain of anal sex isn't usually worth it.  If a man can insert a finger and gently move the tip of his finger to massage the prostate, he could bypass the rending of anal flesh involved with inserting a larger object (penis, for example) and thrusting  it in and out.  Girls have no such gland.  The only "pleasure" produced by anal sex is of the pleasure through pain variety.\n\nIf you do not use a condom, and ejaculate inside the rectum, the semen takes awhile to work its way out and usually does so by means of diarrhea and embarrassingly juicy farts.\n\nAnal sex, even once, creates tears in the rectum which sometimes bleed.  These tears are more susceptible to infection from intestinal bacteria, as well as microbes from an infected partner (in the case of unprotected anal sex).  Defecation is also more painful.  It increases the incidence of inflamed hemorrhoids as well as rectal prolapse later in life.\n\nTo people who say this is an expression of deep commitment to someone you truly love, I say RUBBISH.  While it's probably true that some girls will do it even though they don't like it, any guy worth his weight in pennies will not force the issue.  Protect your bodies, ladies (and men who find themselves in this situation)!

hi.....actually thats not true.....its the otherway round....due to constipation one gets hemorhoids.....and then it becomes a vicious cycle.....so the best way to get rid of both of them is to use some kind of liquid laxative....like...looze (a very common laxative)....\n\nregards.
