Anal Fissure Support Forum

I’m so sorry to read you are going through so much at the moment.
Try to put a blob of Vaseline on your anus before a bm… it helps to protect the skin.

I wish you luck with the chemo x

I hope things continue to improve for you!

Did the dr prescribe you anything to treat a fissure? It might be worth asking for some nitroglycerin to start using if not.

I wouldn’t fancy riding a bike, but I know others don’t have much of a problem… especially if you can stand up to ride.

Still struggling with the fissure… but struggling even more with awful coccyx pain. I think my pelvic floor muscles have gone into spasm all over.
I’m so fed up of this every couple of years. Sigh.

Hi Camry,

No, the sudocream doesn’t really stop the stinging… but it protects the fissure from moisture.

I have no plan hurt butt! I’m just going to do what I used to do and eventually it will heal. Vaseline before bm Shower off after Sudocream, rectogesic Heat pad Prayers!!! What are you going to do? What healed you last time? It’s very depressing being back in this situation isn’t it… I’m sorry you’r...

Thanks for this!
I’m back here too after re tearing a couple of days ago.

I know this is old… but what happened with the phone call?

My dr had trouble bringing up the nifedipine… she’s not sure she can prescribe it… she said she will look into it.
I was always told it wasn’t licensed to use over here in the uk… but that was a few years ago now.
Do you tolerate it well?
