I understand your concern, especially at your age, and you are right to ask before thinking about surgery. A chronic anal fissure with sentinel tag and sphincter spasm is painful and distressing, but surgery is not always the first or only option, particularly in young patients.
Homeopathic treatment can help many cases of chronic fissure, especially when the fissure is not very deep and there is no constant severe bleeding. Homeopathy works by reducing sphincter spasm, improving blood circulation to the anal region, healing the fissure from within, softening stools, and preventing recurrence. The sentinel tag itself may reduce in size over time as the fissure heals, though large tags may not disappear completely.
Regarding duration, treatment is not instant. In chronic fissures, improvement usually starts within 2â4 weeks, with reduction in pain, burning, and bleeding. Complete healing generally takes 6â12 weeks, and in some cases up to 3â4 months, depending on chronicity, bowel habits, and individual response. Medicines are prescribed individually, not the same for everyone, and should be taken under proper guidance rather than self-medication.
Along with medicines, it is very important to maintain soft stools by drinking enough water, eating high-fiber foods (fruits, vegetables), avoiding spicy/junk food, and not suppressing the urge to pass stools. Warm sitz baths help reduce spasm and pain. These measures greatly increase the success of non-surgical treatment.
Surgery is considered only when there is persistent severe pain, repeated bleeding, or failure of conservative treatment after adequate time. At 16 years of age, it is reasonable and safe to try properly guided homeopathic treatment with lifestyle correction first, while keeping regular follow-up to monitor healing.
