An anal fistula is an embarrassing condition for many people, bringing not only physical pain but also inconvenience in daily life. So, what should be done if you have an anal fistula? Experts from the Yangzhou Armed Police Hospital's Colorectal Center point out that self-care for patients with anal fistulas is particularly important. It can not only reduce local adverse environmental stimuli but also provide a good foundation for treatment and recovery.
1. Establish normal dietary habits because the occurrence of anal fistulas is related to damp heat. For greasy diets, internal damp heat can be generated, so such foods should not be consumed excessively. One should eat more light foods rich in vitamins, such as mung beans, radishes, winter melons, and other fresh vegetables and fruits. For long-term unhealed anal fistulas which are often caused by weak constitutions, one should consume more protein-rich foods like lean meat, beef, and mushrooms.
2. Timely treat anal sinusitis and anal papillitis to prevent perirectal abscesses and anal fistulas.
3. If there is a burning sensation or heaviness in the anus, it is important to promptly determine the cause and receive timely treatment.
4. Preventing and treating constipation and diarrhea is significant in preventing perirectal abscesses, as hard stools can easily injure the anal sinuses and lead to infection when bacteria invade. Diarrhea often involves rectitis and anal sinusitis, which can further develop the inflammation.
5. Actively treat systemic diseases that may cause perirectal abscesses, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
6. Develop good bowel habits. After daily bowel movements, sitz baths can help maintain anal hygiene and play a positive role in preventing infections.
The best method for treating anal fistulas: HCPT minimally invasive technology
Experts from the Yangzhou Armed Police Hospital's Colorectal Center introduce that HCPT surgery is a revolutionary method for treating hemorrhoids. The principle of the HCPT surgical ablation system applies electrothermal energy to human tissue, causing the water inside the tissue to evaporate, leading to tissue coagulation or separation. Through the high-frequency high-voltage current generated at the effective electrode tip, the diseased tissue is heated, achieving the separation and coagulation of the affected area to remove abnormal tissues. When charged ions are depleted and the interstitial fluid dries up, the resistance between the two poles increases, the current decreases, and the instrument automatically stops working, ensuring safety and reliability.
The greatest feature of the HCPT minimally invasive painless procedure is that patients experience little to no bleeding and minimal suffering. It avoids complications and recurrences. Clinically, it is suitable for examining and treating various colorectal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, anal fissures, perianal abscesses, polyps, and fibromas. It has advantages such as simple operation, short treatment time, automatic alarms upon treatment completion, no carbonization, good vessel closure, no bleeding during or after surgery, and minimal patient discomfort.
Experts from the Yangzhou Armed Police Hospital's Colorectal Center remind that anal fistulas can be extremely harmful and difficult to treat. Patients must choose a good hospital during treatment to avoid worsening conditions due to improper operations, which could also pose health risks.
