I've been suffering from chronic anal fissure for the past year. I consulted multiple doctors and tried all medications possible with no sight of cure. I recently began using the coconut oil and found it to help in relieving the pain. Since the oil melts in my hand, I decided to make homemade suppositories. I've been using them at night and they seem to be working. I've been pain free for one week, but not completely healed.

To aid the healing better, I started using the suppository during the day time and have been experiencing some pain like discomfort. I also read that the use of the bullet size suppository could cause more tears. Has anyone that used suppository share some tips on what you did to help you? For instance, did you peel and insert the suppository directly from the freezer or did you leave it out for a few mins to melt before inserting?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

See if have not had a reply! I think leaving the suppository to defrost for a short time would help stop any scraping and it tends to melt really fast with body heat. Maybe you should experiment. Good luck.

Can you coat the suppository with some oil before inserting?

I’ve not had issues with them just melting nicely when your body warms the outside. But yes I’m sure oil is fine or Vaseline or nappy/diaper cream.

I tried suppositories but they made my fissure pain worse. I think it was re-tearing my fissure. The Doc told me to stop using....
