Anal Fissure Support Forum

Hi Juney sorry to hear you're in so much pain. I've had mine for nearly six months and at one time it was so bad, I thought I couldn't take another day of it. I have thyroid and adrenal problems, and because of them, I don't heal up anywhere quickly. If I get a tiny cut on my finger it takes over a ...

I always have a pure fruit juice mixed with boiling water-sounds yukky, but works a treat!

I was thinking of trying live yoghurt. Isn't that supposed to put back good bacteria?
I was hoping mine was a healing itch too, I'm very unhappy now I know its the cream!!!

I feel much better today,now I'm home!thanks! Yes, packing and organizing was a nightmare, and my daughter moved house as well, so there was a lot of rushing about and stressing!
How are you now, is yours better yet?

I wondered if I was sensitive to the diltiazem, when I started to get that itch, and, like you, I wondered why it was affecting girl parts and all over the area, not just where the fissure is.

you're funny! Also you're lucky to have had no bleeding, mine went on for ages and scared the hell out of me! Its strange thats how they can start, but kinda makes sense, because I suppose thats how it becomes an open wound.

I've just got back from a weekend away, and I asked everyones advice about swimming before I went. The experience I had was really painful. The chlorine wasn't a problem, but the movement whilst swimming really hurt, so I couldn't stay in the pool long. Thats only my opinion though, because everyone...

I don't know if it's possible, but I've got a feeling that I had a thrombosed hemmie that burst and caused the fissure in the first place, because I had a pain that got worse and worse and built to an unbearable point and then I went to the loo, and there was masses of blood, and the pressure had go...

Hi fissulyna, Igot that terrible itch about a week or so ago, and its everywhere "down there", just like yours. Gold Bond talc was recommended to me, but we don't have it in the UK, but I bought some clotrimidazole cream, which is called Canesten here, and it does calm it down a little. I'...
