Hi everyone
My fissure has been bothering me for almost two years now. After several rounds of Rectogesic and being very careful with diet and using all sorts of creams, squatting at the toilet etc. it feels -somewhat- better.
Whereas before I would very often notice a sort of stingy pain, feeling of tightness etc. this has now reduced to short instances that settle down in a couple of hours. However, I still have quite a bit of discomfort, a burning feeling, a couple of hours after a BM. I am considering botox or even operation in order to completely be rid of this problem, but my GP advises against it, urging me rather to be patient.
I am however starting to get impatient. Anal sex is an important part of my sex life, and I have been totally abstinent from that since my fissure appeared. It is something that I really miss, and would like to resume at some point. Maybe not full size penetration, but at least some smaller toys, beads, buttplugs etc. I´ve heard that anal penetration can actually be beneficial as it may contribute to stretching the tissues, making the anus more resilient.
What do you think, does anyone on here have experience with resuming anal play after a fissure? Is it safe? How to go about it? Precautions? Should I wait until I´ve been totally symptom free for a long time, or could it actually contribute to healing?
