It will effect the whole pelvic area and since your doctor was not CRS she knew only about vaginal use. You can definitely use it rectally, as far as I know . You can Google it !
Now , be careful with insertion if you decide to try rectal application - put a ton of KY !!!
When she said "as needed" , she meant "when you feel spasms". If you feel spasms daily, than you should use it daily. You have to understand the "life of a fissure". Fissure causes pain and spasms of the rectal area and that keeps fissure OPEN and prevents it from healing !!!! That is the MAJOR cause of fissure not closing : (((. So - regulation of spasms is an imperative and you have to do everything you can to stop them.
Valium is not addictive on short run and especially not in such small doses. What is dose of your suppository ???
PS: Yes, it is sometimes tricky to find a perfect dose of Miralax - I could not tolerate it at all *sigh... However, I have BM 2 -3 times a day and always had - all of my life LOL
For me it is normal and pose no problem.
