In fact nothing really helped and I tried everything. Anusol with hydrocortisone will thin the skin, or Anusol HC. Ordinary Anusol won’t but I’m not a doctor so I’m not sure if you can use it long term. It’s basically just lubricating a bit which helps. I used it for a while but ended up with a bit of Vaseline and that’s all. Eventually nothing as the burning was just awful whatever I did or whatever I used. I bought every cream I could think of!! I’m not sure what has eased it in the end if I’m honest. I think just time and relaxation breathing and a small amount of movicol. I think skin tag removal is actually brutal. Sounds so minor but it wrecked me totally. I think I’m finally getting better now. I’m eating anything just about and drinking some alcohol too. No issues. The pain lessened in cycles - a few good days then back to burning pain then maybe a good day then bad again. It went like this for months. I still have the odd burning day and I’m not 100% but I’m SO much better now. I will still never have a Bm without showering the area after. Not sure I ever will! You will heal…. I really never thought I would


Hello,
I am new to this forum ... almost all success stories or healing testimonies do stress over and over again- that during this dark journey of the soul they NEVER thought that this could get better or end 1 day.... Keeping yourself positive is so important . But after forcing myself to be hopeful and positive - I was crushed by huge despair ... I am reading over and over again MISSY MOO member advice and following Louis Hay positive affirmations youtube videos but its a mental challenge ... anyways wanted to say Hi and hope that one day I will make it like those other members that left their success stories and left for good to enjoy their lives ....

I recommend seeing a pelvic floor physio.

Thanks UK man,
I red your old posts and I started pelvic breathing through the day, then cold showerhead water sessions, then trying to relax my mind during BM and for the rest of the day....



Its hardest trial i ever faced in my life :smilyhug:

It certainly is. The way im looking at it is in a few months time i will have done thousands of pelvic floor breathing repetitions. Also relax your sphincter more as you go about your day today business also relax your shoulders and chin.

Sounds like you've come a ways since the beginning of this thread, UKMan.

Vasilisa and others, I can only speak from my experience (see extensive post elsewhere) but after my surgeries I definitely needed to "relearn" how to poo. Here are some things I think helped out:

1) I had watched a lot of "Dr. Bri" videos about the pelvic floor muscles and how to relax and exercise them.
2) I learned the "moo to poo" technique from my PT, which helps get a BM going without a lot of straining. This is an example of the pelvic floor/face connection which you might be referring to, UKMan.
3) It might also be worth considering pelvic floor biofeedback (offered by my PT). The PT attaches electrodes to your butt and then you watch a screen to see if you are influencing your pelvic floor/sphincter muscles... it helps you "retrain". This has been researched as a non-surgical treatment for fissures. It didn't cure my fissures (I needed LIS) but I imagine it could be helpful afterwards to rebuild confidence and coordination.

Hope that's useful -- booty_call

hello BC,
thanks for your suggestions -
I am doing pelvic breathing and happy baby position ..
Like you I am having multiple fissures
its from brutal anoscopy injury
since 8 months !

I am in no place to trust doctors anymore !!!

You mention that you had to relearn to poop -
and I was wondering if you are still on some laxatives and
if you are able to pass normal big size BM without pain?

there is so much scar tissue and a super tight sphincter
that I pray every day to do not end with anal stenosis !

what your pelvic PT told about anxiety management - cause this is HUGE and directly
affecting our sphincter ...

how did you manage to calm yourself after surgery and allow faster healing ?
also do you suffer from PTSD due to all this horror trauma you endured ?

many thanks
