Anal Fissure Issue (Hard Stool & Pain) –
Hello Doctor,
I frequently get anal fissure. While passing stool, the initial part is often hard and causes pain. Sometimes it improves and stool becomes normal, but the problem keeps recurring despite good fluid intake.
Please suggest what I should do and any medicines or precautions.
Thank you.
