The reason a fissure can take forever to heal is mental. We tighten up for fear of pain and by tightening up we restrict the blood flood needed to heal the fissure and the cycle repeats itself endlessly. Then we take medications to make it easier like a stool softeners which can make the stool too soft and you tighten up even more. The stool must be bulky for a healthy normal BM.
Sitz baths after a BM are great and I recommend them. But if you are still having problems after you have a BM all while still doing sitz baths afterwards you should see the specialist again for further discussion. After the LIS and skin tag removal you should be on easy street.

Hello Rich,
I am waiting for doctor appointment to confirm rectal mucosal prolapse...
I have a difficulty to expel without straining small pieces of stool...
I kinda let them sit there and it's unnerving....
Then I try to breath and push a bit when I can't take it....
Lately it's been so many of those BM
How do you manage do not strain?
I can't fit my finger inside to kinda extract slowly what's there sitting inside, cause I'm sure I will tear....
For now I think there is no fissures anymore, but this difficulty to defecate without straining and constipation- makes it so hard, and I'm again not sleeping and having huge depression.....
I try to calm myself telling that if worse there will be I can be on laxatives till I will be needing colostomy bag
With each day future looks more and more sad and disabled
