I hope all members are doing good. I had a fissure about 15 days ago and my internal sphincter went into an uncomfortable spasm. I had difficulty urinating as well. I had this tight feeling in my perineum and the sphincter all the time. Finally I decided to go see a doctor and he prescribed GTN (Glyceryl trinitrate) 3 times a day, Cremeffin (cream of magnesia) and sitz baths.
What I did was instead of sitz baths, I would take a plastic bottle and fill it with hot water. I used to wrap it up with a cloth and sit over it for about 40 to 60 mins. This used to help me so much with the pain and the itch. For about 10 days, I was feeling so miserable that I actually went in depression. Provided the side effects of the GTN cream, I was becoming a lifeless dummy. I used to feel depressed in the office, the pain, itch and the tightness made me stand all day through the 8 working hours. And then on day 11, I started to feel much better suddenly, the pain was almost gone, the itch was bearable and I felt less tight down there. Day 16 and I am no longer feeling any pain, itch or tightness. GTN, Cremeffin and the hot water bottles really worked for me and by the grace of All Mighty, I am fine now. I am working out again and life has never been better. I hope this medication helps those in need.

Regards and stay blessed.

Hi Bass.addict, thanks for telling us your story! It's always great to hear success stories.
Congratulations on healing. We all understand the pain and depression. It sounds as though your healing was quite fast, so I'm very happy for you.
I'm another great believer in heat to the anus. It was a huge part of my healing.

Yes heat used to relax me a lot. Now I use Hadensa herbal cream twice a day to shrink any hemorrhoids that may have swollen too.

Congratulations on healing!

An acute fissure like yours had a much higher chance of healing than a chronic one, so well done for nipping it in the bud.

Fingers crossed you stay healed and are able to get on & enjoy life
