Defecation obstruction
My wife delivered in February this year. She developed anal fissure a month later, which healed. However, she keeps getting cuts on the anal area with constant pricking sensation and cannot defecate fully, she feels defecation is incomplete. There is no bleeding or hard motion at all though. A couple of months ago, a doctor prescribed probiotics for 10 days - prularen, kluvagut, hepagress, symbulardi. These completely healed her, she could defecate normally. Even pricking etc disappeared. However since a couple of weeks the defecation problem resurfaced, along with cuts. So, can she take these probiotics again, since she recovered earlier with these.

Yes she can. Cuts usually come due to hard stools or incomplete healing of anal fissures. The fissures remain unhealed internally. But external they heal. Drink lots of water. Kindly consult with me on 94 two six eight six 78 nine six

Hello.
I understand your concern. From the history, it seems your wife has recurrent anal fissure–like symptoms with discomfort and incomplete evacuation. Probiotics may help with gut health, but since the symptoms keep recurring, it’s important to rule out underlying issues such as chronic fissure, sphincter spasm, or constipation-related causes.
What you can do now:
• She can take probiotics again as they helped earlier, but this should not be the only treatment.
• Ensure a high-fiber diet, adequate water intake, and sitz baths (warm water tub sitting) to reduce pain and promote healing.
• Avoid straining during stools.
Next Steps
Please consult a gastroenterologist or surgeon for a proper perianal examination
