Hi all

I was wondering if there's any technique you can use while pooping to help 'support' the anal fissure? Mine will constantly re open with every BM which is obviously preventing healing.

Thanks for any info!

Hi,

I use a stool to put my legs on when I use the toilet as your meant to have your legs raised. I also put Vaseline on to protect when going, how long have you had it for? My re-tore constantly for over 2 years

Is your fissure in the front or the back? Perhaps splinting like those with a rectocoele do would help if the fissure is anterior.

I've tried the Vaseline trick before but I'll give it another go. I'll also try the stool as well.

My fissure is on the back side and a little to the left. I think it really lacks support, so I'm going to try and support it with my fingers when going, although it's a little hard to because my sentinel pile gets in the way.

Thank you for the tips!

Mine is anterior what is splinting? Mine has retorn for 3.5 years
