Hi all. So, I've never posted on this forum before, and I literally went online to seek out if there was a forum for anal fissures so I could hopefully post my story and help someone else. I had several chronic fissures after childbirth that would not heal (hence, I guess, chronic). I tried the cream from the doctor, olive oil, coconut oil, coconut oil baths, laxatives, water, washing after every bm, etc. Nothing kept them away for long: they would always reopen. I was in so much pain I was ready to stop eating altogether, and I was sure that I would be in excruciating pain once to twice a day for the rest of my life. I think I read about ozonated olive oil on some hippy crunch type of website and it mentioned accelerated healing. I figured, hey, that's what I need. I need something to heal those buggers quickly enough that they don't reopen next time I have a BM.
Anyway, I bought some. I don't think it matters which brand. I applied deeply and on the surface about 2-3x a day. Within 2 days, my pain was mostly gone. Within a week, I had no pain at all. I kept applying for about another week and then stopped...and waited...and nothing. Within the last year, I have had 2 reoccurences, both quickly put to rest by immediately starting this regimen again.
I was so scared this pain would ruin my life. I was so happy to have found something so easy and that worked so well, that I've been meaning to find someplace to share it with people and I just found the time tonight. I hope you all at least give it a shot and I truly hope it works for you like it worked for me! I think you can just google ozonated olive oil. I don't like the smell, but hey, it works.
