hello all,
I was wondering if any of you use nitro/nifedipine/etc BEFORE a BM.
My fissure is healed according to the doctors, but the sphincter is still pretty tight. Sometimes the stools come out slow, and it seems like they are being forced through an opening too narrow. I am taking Nitro .5%, but I don't think I have the 'spasms' that many of the folks here have described, so I guess I'm just using it to generally relax the sphincter and keep good blood flow to the area. I'm actually not sure if I should be taking it at all at this point...
BUT one thing I imagine it could be useful for is just widening the cavity pre-BM. Does anyone take it right before having a bm? Does this result in your stool coming out in a relaxed state?
