Anal Fissure/ Piles after delivery

Indians have a very old saying that after delivery the mother should rest for 40 days before getting up and doing the household chores and the mother should eat light food during this time(easy to digest)  like rice and lentil cooked together called khichdi  and broken wheat called daliya.
After my delivery I did not believe in everything what these oldies said and I later I faced the consequences.
My gynaecologist told me that it has been scientifically proven that it takes 40 days for uterus to return back to its normal size so the point one was right.
I always had a healthy life and no bowel problem and after delivery I ate as everyone ate. One the biggest consequence I got anal fissure. It was because of the kind of food I ate. The stool hardens if you eat more of refined flour than the wheat flour and eat less of fibre.  I still get it whenever I eat out and eat things like pizza which has less fibre.

Solution to fissure  I found out after an year of problem  :-
1. Use haemorrhoidal cream with a glove on the affected area. As a glove is smoother than the finger tip it pains less. Use it  everyday till the pain subsides.
2. Use the cream specially at night as most people go for pots early in the morning, cream is at the surface for maximum time to help the cut heal.
3. Take laxative at night.
4. Eat loads of fibre.  Change your diet which comprises more of fruits and veggies than processed food.
5. Exercise, everyday but not during the pain.
Point 4 and 5 also helps in preventing the fissure to occur.
Take care new moms. 


Happy mommying
