I have had a fissure for 1.7 years. It heals but comes back every 3 months as a small cut at the top (12 o’clock position). My motions are always soft, and I drink 2–2.5 litres of water daily.
When my stool is about the thickness of 1.5 fingers, I feel the inner muscle open or stretch as the stool passes, and then contract back when it slides down. This seems to cause a spasm.
How can I naturally reduce these spasms?
Does gentle finger massage inside help?

You need not worry much
In this Era of readynade foods this problem is almost in ratio of 1 in every 5 patients
U need to take about 4-5 lit a day
Green leafy vegetables 4 times a week
More fluids
If not controlled by these lifestyle changes..if symptoms are more we will go for lateral anal spinterotomy
This means releasing the muscle spasms which is causing pain now

This needs examination rather than texting. We can give a try to manage conservatively. But then for your case the best would be sphincterotomy / anal dilatation.
For Acute Fissure in Ano, we can go for conservative treatment with & chance to complete healing
*Avoid oily, spicy & Non veg/ High proteinaceous diet
*Bland diet intake
*Semisolid diet
*Adequate quantity of water before or after food
* Stool softener/ Laxatives( liquid paraffin or cremaffin gel)
*Avoid sitting for a longer period without crossing over the legs/ Avoid long travel & bike riding
* Topical sphincter relaxants like Calcium Channel Blockers ( Nifedipine)
*Topical soothening agent like Sucralfate with bactericidal ( povidone iodine & Metronidazole) e.g Drez S ointment
*Sitz bath , 2 times daily ( Warm water + Dettol or savlon or betadine solution)
But in case of Chronic fissure in ano, conservative treatment suggested only to take a break ( Temporary relief). This may recur after a week, month or years later & leads to a lot of complications like Perianal abscess,Fistula in ano & even Piles (secondary to strainful defecation to overcome sphincteric spasm).
So, in case of Chronic ( or) Recurrent (or) Acute on chronic fissure , tis better to go for surgery
