I've been suffering with anal fissure, very severe chronic one. I was able to heal twice but it came up ..
I'm very disciplined ..but last time fissure came back with revenge.
I'm eating only fruits and veggies from blender... and managed to decrease my pain significantly .. but I have a big problem pooping.
My stool is near perfect ice cream.. but still it has to squeeze through. It is that tight that it is impossible to push finger through.
Diltaezem cream might relax anus spasm.. but when I try to insert the finger it seems super bulky there, plus fissure is at 3pm(or 9pm)
.. the bulkiness does not go away .. last 40 days.. Worries me it's something else..
I can insert care fully very small injection with tons of lubrication with coconut oil, but finger .. it's impossible.
I went to colon surgeon and he says the fissure does not look bad and because of stiffness he says he'll try in 4 weeks.
I have another surgeon to take a look next week.
Really worries me ..
I can function .. after stool.. ibuprofen and the pain is manageable.. but I"m afraid that as the time goes the stenosis is worse or maybe tumour.. cancer ...
7 months ago when I had my first hell with anal fissure I did colonoscopy
.. and it came up clean with minor internal hemorrhoids... but that was 7 months ago.
I was so focused on fissure and management of extreme, long term pain... but now I'm not sure that is the only problem.
Thoughts?
I'll update your after next surgeon appointment
