Hello, my name is James and new to this forum. Been reading a lot of good information on here. Here is my problem. I was diagnosed with a anal fissure about 2 years ago. I was treated with nitro cream and miralax. The AF did heal after several months, so I decided to wean myself off of miralax since the doctor said the AF looked fine. However every time I tried this I would start to get that same feeling of re-injuring my AF during BM's. Doctor reassured me that using miralax long term was fine and that AF healing can take a very long time to completely heal. Just recently I had a bout of Prostatitis which I was referred to a Urologist. During a rectal exam to examine my Prostate, the doctor noted that my rectum was restricted due to scar tissue from the AF. He recommended either to continue the miralax regime or see a surgeon. I don't really want to go the surgical route and just wondering if anyone of this board has had any success with any non-surgical procedures?
Thanks,
James
