Fissure treatment
What is an anal fissure?
A fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, but the sensation is often very intense - sharp pain during defecation and sometimes for hours afterward. Although it is a local injury to the anus, in Chinese medicine the treatment is not local.
The method I use is a method I learned from a Taiwanese Chinese doctor (Dr. Tan) and is based on acupuncture at distant points only - in the navel, hands and feet - without acupuncture in the anus. In most cases, pain relief will be felt after just two treatments.
What are the symptoms of a fissure?
-
Sharp pain during ejaculation
-
Pain that persists after defecation, sometimes even hours after defecation
-
Rectal bleeding
-
Burning, tingling, itching, or stinging sensation
What does acupuncture treatment for fissure relief look like?
Treatment includes:
-
Acupuncture at points distant from the anus to relieve the pain of the fissure and encourage healing of the area.
-
Dietary guidelines according to the principles of Chinese medicine to soften stools and treat according to personal diagnosis
How long does it take to feel improvement?
In most cases, improvement will be noticeable after two treatments. However, full healing of the tissue may take longer. An average series of treatments for a fissure usually lasts about seven to ten treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the treatment also suitable for acute fissures?
Yes, and sometimes, in an acute situation, a rapid response to treatment can be seen.
Do I need local treatment?
No. The treatment is performed through acupuncture points that affect the anus from a distance.
Can treatment prevent the fissure from recurring?
In many cases, yes, especially when the root of the problem is also treated (diet, bowel movements, stress).

A fissure is a very painful condition, but it can be treated gently and effectively.
