Just had to update this. I'm 2 weeks post-op and finally after 2 years I'm pretty sure I am HEALED!!!!! My fissure was from childbirth and what was so frustrating is that my diet has always been fine (30gms of fiber per day on average without trying or adding supplements, 1 gal water/day - and this was pre-fissure as well). Stool softeners and added fiber for me just made it worse. Anyway I'm still using cream on the site (Polysporin actually - weird I know but over time I found this helps me more than PrepH) and doing 2 sitz baths a day just to keep it clean but will probably stop at the end of the week. Fingers crossed that after 2 surgeries (& 2 beautiful fissure-aggravating babies) that I am fixed for good! I'm only 27 and was scared I'd be stuck like this for life.
