During bowel preparation for colonoscopy, frequent bowel movements can lead to perianal irritation and anal fissures. To mitigate these common discomforts, several strategies can be employed. Applying a protective barrier, such as a baby rash cream or petroleum jelly, before and after bowel movements can help prevent skin breakdown. Opting for moist wipes instead of dry toilet paper can reduce friction and irritation. Furthermore, a warm sitz bath after each bowel movement, followed by gently patting the area dry with a soft cloth, can offer significant relief and promote healing.
