Amal fissure

Postby Debbie » 11 Jul 2018, 16:49

Hello I'm new to this forum.
6 weeks ago I discovered I have a anal fissure. I done everything I could thought of.
I been to the ER , I been to the doctor, even Urgent care and one month to an UI doctor.
ER, doctor and urgent care said I have a fissure, in there nothing I can do. Just for to deal with it.
If you have a better solution I sure would appreciate it......thank you . I have never heard or had one a fissure before.

Which country are you located in? You definitely do not need to just 'deal with it'. If there are colorectal specialists in your area then try to find a good one and get an appointment soon. There are several ointments that can be used such as nitroglycerin, nifefipine or diltiazem. Other options are botox or surgery.

Stool softeners such as miralax or magnesium are essential for keeping BMs soft to aid healing. Warm sitz baths or compresses bring blood flow to the area. Eat a well balanced diet and avoid anything that causes hard or large BMs.
8/16-12/16: Fissure due to antibiotics
5/17: Botox to sphincter, fissure healed
9/19: Trigger point injections and pudendal nerve block
11/19: Botox to pelvic floor
8/20: Botox to pelvic floor in new location.
On and off in pelvic physical therapy

Yes people do heal but often the healing is difficult when the issue is chronic, which is why many people opt for LIS surgery or ask for Botox as a last resort before surgery.

I've had my fissure for 9 months now and have never experienced anything as painful. My doctor prescribed a steroid cream which did help a little. I was beginning to think I was going to have to have surgery because I couldn't imagine living this way. I was taking Ducalax and Metamucal everyday and drinking at least 10 glasses of water. The pain was so terrible when I had a BM that I would try to hold it which just made matters worse. I researched as much as I could find online and I started using Miralax last week and I am amazed. It's only been a week but I feel the best I have in 9 months. I stopped taking Ducalax and fiber. I have not changed my diet. Miralax has been a miracle for me. I have less and less pain when I have a BM. No more bleeding and I go everyday. Please try Miralax. I wish I had months ago.
