Hi all
I have been reading these forums for several months and it has been a valuable source of advice, thank you!
I have been suffering with an anal fissure for 7 months. The doctor confirmed I have a large fissure recently.
I have been using Lactulose as prescribed, and it does seem to add some moisture to the stools but they're still large enough that the fissure must be re tearing every single time as there is usually quite a bit of blood.
I've just acquired some Movicol-half from the chemist. It seems to simply be half a normal dose (6.9 grams per sachet). Does anyone have any advice on what dose I should start off with? One sachet? I want to achieve stoops soft enough not to cause this damage every time.
I'd also like to offer a big thumbs up for Rectogesic cream by the way. Since I started using it on Friday last week, the spasms which lasted for hours have completely gone. This is itself feels like a miracle, as the pain was debilitating and I was worried about the pain and the effect it would have on my work.
Thanks all!
