Advice:
You’re likely experiencing an anal fissure due to constipation after your C-section. As a lactating mother, follow these safe steps:
• Increase fiber in your diet (fruits, vegetables, oats)
• Drink plenty of warm fluids daily
• Take a gentle stool softener or Isabgol (psyllium husk) at bedtime
• Sit in warm water (sitz bath) twice a day to relieve pain
• Apply lignocaine or fissure ointment locally before and after passing stool
If symptoms persist or bleeding continues, please consult a gynaecologist. You will recover soon with proper care.

Hi, constipation during lactation is common due to hormonal changes, dehydration, and diet.
Next Steps
• Increase water intake (2.5–3 liters daily)
• Eat more fiber: fruits (papaya, banana), soaked raisins, vegetables, oats, whole grains
• Include ghee or a teaspoon of isabgol (psyllium husk) in warm water at bedtime
• Mild stool softeners like lactulose syrup are safe during breastfeeding if needed
