What to do if your baby has a cracked butt

The main reason for cracks in the baby's buttocks is anorectal diseases. Especially in children, because their skin is relatively fragile, it is easy for the anus to rupture. I hope mothers should have a certain understanding of how to deal with cracks in the baby's buttocks. When a baby's buttocks occasionally crack, special attention should be paid to the hygiene of the buttocks skin, because the cracks can easily lead to the growth of bacteria.

Anal fissure is a common anorectal disease that occurs in many people, including adults and children. In fact, the pain that anal fissure brings to children is beyond our imagination. Children's body tissues are relatively weak, and they do not have the good endurance that adults have. The severe pain of defecation brings them crying and pain, which makes many parents and friends feel distressed. At this time, how should we take care of children? What should we do with anal fissures in newborns?

What to do if a newborn has anal fissure

1. Internal drink: Sophora japonica drink

Ingredients and preparation: 10 grams of Sophora japonica beans, 10 grams of chrysanthemum, wash off the dust with clean water, add 500 ml of boiling water to brew. Add appropriate amount of Sophora japonica flower honey when drinking, several times a day, drink frequently as tea.

2. External application: egg yolk oil

Boil 10 eggs, remove the shells and egg whites. Add egg yolks to the pan and continue to fry over medium heat. After about 15 minutes, the egg yolk carbonizes and turns black. Continue frying for 5 minutes until a dark brown thick egg yolk oil appears. Remove the residue and keep the oil, clean the anus after defecation every day, and apply egg yolk oil to the anal fissure with a cotton swab. Take twice a day for 10 days.

How to prevent baby's anal fissures

1. Cultivate good habits of regular bowel movements in children. Choose a time when both parents and children are not pressed for time, let the child defecate, and do it patiently on time every day, which can help develop a habit of defecation on time.

2. Allow children to have an appropriate amount of activity. In the later neonatal period, the child can be placed in a prone position on an empty stomach. When the baby is a little older, he can be allowed to roll and crawl on the bed. This is not only beneficial for preventing constipation, but also beneficial for the healthy development of the child.

3. Carry out scientific feeding. Children's diet should be combined with their physiological characteristics, meet their growth needs and ensure their health, so there must be a reasonable dietary structure. Children need to consume enough protein, but they must also consume an appropriate proportion of carbohydrates and fresh vegetables containing fiber, which plays a greater role in preventing constipation in children.

4. Keep the area clean and hygienic. If a child has an anal fissure, parents should gently wipe it clean with soft toilet paper after each bowel movement. Then, under the guidance of a doctor, the child should take a sitz bath in warm saline for 10-20 minutes or apply ointment externally, which can achieve the effect of local disinfection and accelerate the healing of the fissure.
