Hi Daisy, please don't give up fissures are one of the most painful things but you are only 3 months in so there is a lot of hope.
Your doc shouldn't be treating you for haemorrhoids as that can sometimes make the skin thinner, not what you need with a fissure.
I would say your best way is to ask to see a CRS as they will know for certain if it's a fissure, if you can't do that see if your doc can prescribe GTN or diltiazem that are specifically for fissures.
Lots of people on here use natural products like coconut oil ozonated olive oil manuka honey and lots more. If you catch your fissure earlier enough there is no reason the creams prescribed won't help you heal completely. If not there are other options further down the line.
Please don't resign yourself to this especially not with a new baby, I know how painful it can be trust me I have had nights writhing on the floor at 3am begging for the spasms to stop. Don't give up hope the GTN stopped my worst spasms and I have just had Botox. You will get better just make the docs do their job
