2. About you
Your plan
Anal fissure (soft stools, high fibre)
An anal fissure is a small tear that hurts when you pass hard stools. Soft, regular stools let it heal: most heal within 6–8 weeks with fibre built up to 25–35 g a day, plenty of fluid, warm baths and not straining. Your doctor may also suggest a stool softener or a cream.

- 💧 2–2.5 litres of fluid a day, mostly water. Drink more as you add fibre.
- Fibre 25–35 g a day, increased gradually over 1–2 weeks
- 2–2.5 litres of fluid a day, mostly water
- Soft stools every day or two, without straining
- Whole grains at most meals; fruit or vegetables at every meal
What to eat
Eat more
- Whole-wheat roti with chokar (bran), dalia, oats, brown rice, millets (bajra, jowar)
- Daal, chana, rajma and lobia, well cooked (if they don't cause gas)
- Fruit: papaya, guava, pears, kiwi, prunes, figs (anjeer), apples with skin
- Vegetables and salads at lunch and dinner: lauki, tori, spinach, carrots, beans
- Isabgol (psyllium husk) or soaked chia and flax seeds, with a full glass of water
- Plain dahi or yogurt
Limit
- Maida: white bread, naan, rusks, biscuits, white pasta
- Fried and fast food: samosas, pakoras, chips, burgers
- Very spicy food and lots of chillies (can sting when you pass a stool)
- Red meat and lots of cheese (low in fibre, can firm stools)
- Many cups of tea or coffee, and alcohol (they dehydrate)
Avoid
- Adding a lot of fibre without drinking more water: it can harden stools

Tips
- Go when you feel the urge, don't strain, and don't sit on the toilet for long (no phone).
- A warm sitz bath (sitting in a few inches of warm water) for 10–15 minutes, 2–3 times a day, eases pain and spasm.
- Use stool softeners, laxatives or creams only as your doctor or pharmacist advises.
- Add fibre one step at a time (for example, isabgol at night first), so you don't get bloated.
Easy swaps
- Naan or white breadswap forWhole-wheat roti or whole-grain bread
- Biscuits with chaiswap forA pear, guava or 2 kiwis
- White riceswap forBrown rice or dalia
- Chipsswap forRoasted chana
When to see a doctor
- Heavy bleeding, or bleeding that doesn't stop.
- A fissure that hasn't healed after 6–8 weeks of these changes.
- Fever, pus, a painful swelling or lump near the anus (possible abscess).
- A lasting change in bowel habit, unexplained weight loss, or rectal bleeding if you're over 50: get checked by a doctor.

Lee la guía completa (en inglés): Anal Fissure Diet: High-Fibre Foods That Help It HealCómo comer para ayudar a cicatrizar una fisura anal
Respuesta rápida: Para ayudar a que cicatrice una fisura anal, aumenta la fibra poco a poco, bebe 2–2,5 litros al día, cambia la maida y los fritos por alternativas integrales y añade un suplemento de fibra si te lo recomiendan.
- Aumenta la fibra poco a poco. Llega a 25–35 g al día en 1–2 semanas: roti integral o de chokar, dalia, avena, daal, verduras y fruta.
- Bebe 2–2,5 litros al día. La fibra necesita agua para ablandar las heces; sin ella, pueden endurecerse.
- Cambia la maida y los fritos. Sustituye el naan, el pan blanco, las galletas y los snacks fritos por cereales integrales, fruta y chana tostado.
- Añade un suplemento de fibra si te lo recomiendan. Isabgol (psyllium) por la noche con un vaso grande de agua, o semillas de chía o linaza remojadas.
Por qué la fibra y el agua importan con una fisura
Las heces duras o grandes estiran el revestimiento del ano y vuelven a abrir la herida. La fibra soluble (avena, isabgol, fruta) retiene agua y mantiene las heces blandas; la insoluble (salvado, verduras) da volumen para que salgan con facilidad. Junto con los líquidos, reducen el dolor y permiten que la fisura cicatrice.
La dieta es una parte del tratamiento
Los baños de asiento con agua tibia, no hacer fuerza y ir al baño en cuanto sientas ganas son los primeros pasos habituales. Tu médico puede añadir un ablandador de heces o una crema que relaja el músculo. La mayoría de las fisuras cicatrizan en 6–8 semanas; las que no, necesitan revisión médica.
Cuándo ir al médico
Sangrado abundante o continuo, una fisura que no ha cicatrizado tras 6–8 semanas, fiebre, pus o un bulto doloroso, un cambio persistente en el hábito intestinal, pérdida de peso, o cualquier sangrado rectal si tienes más de 50 años.
Preguntas frecuentes
¿Qué alimentos son mejores para la fisura anal?
Alimentos ricos en fibra con mucha agua: roti integral o de chokar, dalia, avena, daal, chana, verduras y frutas como papaya, guayaba, peras, kiwi, ciruelas pasas e higos.
¿Debo evitar el picante si tengo una fisura?
La comida muy picante y mucho chile pueden arder al evacuar, así que muchas personas se sienten mejor reduciéndolos mientras cicatriza.
¿El isabgol es bueno para la fisura anal?
El psyllium (isabgol) ablanda las heces y se usa mucho. Tómalo con un vaso grande de agua y consulta la dosis con tu médico.
¿Cuánto tarda en cicatrizar una fisura?
La mayoría de las fisuras recientes cicatrizan en 6–8 semanas con heces blandas y cuidados sencillos. Si para entonces no ha cicatrizado, consulta a tu médico.
