Reccuring anal fissure
Hi all,
I had developed an anal fissure due to constipation from traveling in January and it initially took 3 weeks to heal and it again bled for a few days in February and March. It stopped bleeding and hurting on March 20th and I switched onto a plant based diet. From march 20th to today, I had no issues of it. Today I had a stool whcih was normal but not constipated(I am only having soft stools since 20th March) and it hurt in the same area as where the fissure was before. What can I do now? It's been 2 months after which this pain is started. What can I do to make sure that fissure doesn't reoccur

[ ] Hi, it seems you have developed fissure in ano. ( a cut in anal canal due to passage of hard stool). You need some good laxative to make stool soft do that it should not hurt the wounded area. Take isabgol husk in Luke warm water after dinner daily. You can try Triphala powder. There are certain ointment to relax the anal sphincter which helps in relieving pain and allows fissure to heal. Do sitz bath three times a day. Feel free to ask any further quary.
