Hello all, I'm new here and I've been dealing with anal fissures for 2 years, at first I tried to ignore it and it eventually healed by itself but lately last year its become worse and I'm suffering again from this for 6 months already that I ended up going to a Surgeon who prescribed me a diltiazem cream to apply on the anus. I ended up changing my diet and started eating lots of fiber, removed all gluten from my diet and I drink lots and lots of water everyday. For the last 2 weeks since I started the treatment which was 1 month ago, I haven't bleed every single time I had a BM, although today after a second BM (sometimes I have more than one a day, it always feels like the first one wasn't complete) I bled from the first time after 2 weeks of the cream treatment and diet, it wasn't a lot just tiny drops, but I'm already terrified that I might have pushed this and destroyed the treatment, it doesn't help me either because I suffer from lots of anxiety and stress, and every time all I'm thinking is about this and how miserable I feel. Also since the treatment the pain hasn't been that bad as before but I can still feel it, although it's not as uncomfortable as before when I used to have 12 hours of constant pain after a BM.
Did this happen to anyone else? Is it a sign that I have to re-do the treatment or that I made the AF worse?
Thanks for your time.
God bless!
