Hi Suzy, where can you buy dilators - I seen this in the relevant forum http://ssp-inc.com/products/pediatric-p ... -dilators/

But can't seem to buy.

The thing with me is that I can't stand the stool softener, although j have been taking it for the best part of 3 years. This generally works ok with a reasonable fibre diet, main thing u must avoid us white processed foods, e.g white pasta, white bread, white rice etc. These will go easy on stomach but will result in more formed stools and the I will inevitably tear. Trying dilation maybe worth a try, I have never really had big stools but they were formed, now it's more mushy. Anyway I would be grateful if you could suggest the dilators I could not but from the above - I am sure I would have to start with the very smallest - also I have read some stuff about how DMSO can help - there is an author called Jini, if you Google Jini and DMSO - let me know your thoughts and thanks for taking the time in helping others,like many here it a wonderful job everyone is doing and a great cause to help fellow humans who suffer such pain.

Hi. I have major anal stricture from a haemorrhoidectomy 9 years ago and multiple stretches have left lots of scar tissue. Living on movicol has sapped my body of nutrients. I am now on neolife all natural fibre and neo cleanse and for the first time in 9 years ive had no movicol all week and have had great success in going to the toilet. I have also today started dmso mixed with extra aloe and a little water syringed a little way in and massaged around the outside. Will try it for 6 months. Has anyone else tried it and how often a day did you do it?

I didn't know Movicol could deplete your body of nutrients. I have been taking it for a couple of years and cannot imagine what I would be like without it. A bit worried now

Tight wrote:Hi,

I keep re- tearing and have multiple fissures, they tend to heal. They comeback within a few weeks sometimes days. I feel I am tight and my bowels are mushy at best and I cannot insert my pinky in my anus. I have been like this for at least 10 years maybe more, probably 13 years. Last 3 years I have been taking Laxido (movicol) - this has helped in passing the stools but I am now reliant on this as soon as I ease off things get bad. Problems with Laxido is that it causes me stomach pain, I have never been constipated in my life and I am 3/2 BM per day.

I had Botox 18 months ago and my first 5 weeks were bad, bleeding more and tearing, the skin felt overstretched, but I did find that my BM was easier to pass, from week 6 onwards things felt OK for 4/5 weeks?

Any advice anyone - the main problem is pain passing BM and some pain afterwords when bending down etc But no spasm pain, just more and more tightening. Your help will be appreciated.

im seeing tomorrow my GP for CRS referral - today is the scariest day of my life !!!! it hit me hard - painful BM and huge scar tissues from multiple fissures are causing me anal stricture stenosis- to place finger inside its very painful and I am only 47 ...... my life has been destroyed by that criminal proctologist that performed anoscopy .....I just wanna heal it naturally - i do not care anymore how ugly my anus is ....I just wanna to pass painless BM and put this horror of hells behind me somehow .....

Sounds like you have anal stenosis. I had a bilateral anoplasty because of this. It helped. I still have anal stenosis but not as bad and with the proper management and miralax before I go to bed it has helped me.

thank you for getting back
I red your story and I am so scared about my future... I do not trust doctors anymore... maybe it will heal by my poops naturally stretching scar tissue ????? some people say it will heal naturally.... I just wanna my life back... it can stretch big poop but anal scar tissue protrudes each BM like a CONE shape tube ,,,, maybe there is hope ... My body must be able to heal it

I consulted on 4th November my GP - he never evaluated how many fissures were there after anoscopy injury- he thinks
that things get better with many months ... but I am noticing visible anal fissures- blood lines that go inside my anus hole after each BM which retears my scar tissue cause anal passage is very narrow and small now....
Its my 8th month into this medical brutal injury and I have 1 month left to see again my GP and then if he sees me in the distress state again - he will start me on cypralex AD....how is it possible that with each day I have less and less hope that this injury will heal ... I dont care anymore how scary my anus will look - I just want it - to do not hurt me on each BM .....I just need some hope that it can heal and that I wont end with a poo bag (I am so so scared of this last scenario) Can someone pls talk to me or PM because I m in such a bad place and I have no more force to keep pushing .......

Dear Suzy,
I am in a very scary place and I started to sell all my belongings ...
Even placing inside small finger - I feel that finger tip is ripping off my anal entrance ring skin... so I wont try to pass anal ring....


Any surgery on anus is out of the question ....

Can you pls give me advice how to manage stenosis the longest possible - until the eventual colostomy bag ?

thank you for any reply
this situation is such a scary place to be dealing with every minute of your existence ....
