Hi
I am new to the forum but not new to fissures. I am based in the UK and was taking GTN for a chronic fissure. After a couple of months it seemed to be working and I spoke to my gastroenterologist about extending my family. He thought there was no reason to delay trying. However I got pregnant more quickly than expected and had to come off thenointment before I was fully healed. To my horror I have been told by doctors there is nothing at all I can take. It has worsened since I have come off the ointment and I now have a dull ache all day and occasional spasms, although BMs do not hurt - the ache comes later. I can live with this but am terrified it will escalate to the razor blade pain I experienced after the birth of my first child 4 years ago. Has anyone been in a similar situation and have any tips of how I might help myself safely for the baby. I am only 7 weeks gone so have a long way to go. Thank you!
