Fissure laxative or stool softner

2020-07-26 04:50:01
I have been sufferring from anal fissures for about 4 years. I have been taking "d-peg plus" on and off  to ease bowel movements. Sometimes I take it months together. Is it safe to take it for a prolonged period of time?. Or is there any stool softener or laxative which I can take life long ?

visit a general surgeon and plan for surgery.
