Anal Fissure Support Forum

I am still a bit confused about Botox vs LIS for spasms. I am 14 months post 2 fissures and have dehibilitating spasms most of the day every day. I had Botox 3.5 weeks ago that did nothing, although my understating is that if it had worked, it would ...

... no complications. So far I have been feeling great until today, I had a BM this morning which had a little bit of bleeding which now has led to spasms. I know it has only been a couple of weeks but I am worried that I have opened the fissure again. To add, I have been battling OAB which seems ...

... may need some lubrication to ease it in. You don't need the whole thing in there just a third or half.

Hi all! I'm a 26 year old male who has anal spasms every time I dont pass a soft stool. They certainly are not classified as extreme, but enough to make me work from home and not able to do activities. It's hard to pin down exactly where the pain ...

... about three months, my two fissures are completely healed over. I have had no bleeding for several weeks and they are not sensitive to the touch. Spasms are reduced - I feel completely relaxed until I have a bowel movement, then I have burning on and off and sharp pains throughout the day. They ...
