I finally have my diet down where I have perfect stool. I'm eating the exact same thing everyday, with 3 stool softeners in the morning and miralax at night. My bowel movements are exactly the same everyday, extremely soft and very small around. No sitting. I'm either standing or laying down. And I haven't had any pain or bleeding in about a week.
My question is, how do I know if the the fissure is healing or when it has healed?
On a side note, I also have an anal yeast infection which has just added a whole new level of issues to this. So I am currently not using ANYTHING on the area, since I have to keep it as dry as possible. My last exam was 9 days ago (to diagnose the yeast infection) and he said the fissure was still there. So I know as of 9 days ago my fissure definitely wasn't healed. But here I am 9 days later, and I'm scared to change anything that I'm currently doing. I don't know if this has been enough time for healing or not. I certainly don't want to undo any healing. Anyone have any thoughts?
