Hello everyone, I am relatively new to this. I am a 25 year old female and I have been dealing with a fissure for about a month now. I think I have had minor fissures in the past that I basically ignored and healed on their own. But this time my body is not healing up at all. I have made modifications to my diet and went to see a colorectal surgeon. He prescribed Rectiv and told me to be patient. If only it were that easy right? I feel like it is getting worse.
I've been looking around past posts related to using coconut, vitamin e and aloe vera oil but I am not sure if anyone has had any success in healing with these or if they just help make bowel movements easier. For any of you that have tried these could you please share your experiences? What exactly did you use, how often, how did you apply? how much, etc. Also, has anyone taken pure olive oil orally? If so what have been your results? I know my fissure won't heal if every bowel movement keeps irritating them which even very soft stools seem to do.
Thanks for your responses.
