Based on your symptoms and short duration (3 days), this sounds like an acute anal fissure, not a chronic one.
• Pain while sitting and after passing stools is typical
• Sitz bath + Proctosedyl helps inflammation, but it does NOT relax the anal sphincter, which is the main reason pain persists
• In the first 7–10 days, pain can remain significant even with ointments if stool remains hard or sphincter spasm continues
Health Tips
• High-fiber diet: fruits (papaya, pear), vegetables, oats
• Drink 2.5–3 L water/day
• Use a soft cushion while sitting
• Avoid spicy food & alcohol temporarily
• Do not overuse steroid creams (Proctosedyl should be limited)
Anal fissure pain can feel unbearable, but the good news is: acute fissures heal very well with the right combination of medicines—usually within 2–3 weeks. If pain is still severe after 7–10 days despite proper treatment, a short online consultation can help fine-tune therapy and prevent it from becoming chronic.
You don’t need to suffer through this—help is very much possible.
