I was diagnosed with an anal fissure back in March. I thought I had a bad hemmi but I had the chills and butt pain was horrific. The doctor drained the infection with what supposed to be a local...I nearly climbed the wall in pain. He said there was nothing I could take or apply that would help just take sitz baths 5 times a day. Well that was not a very easy thing to do if your not 90 years old. After 2 weeks, there was no improvement so the ONLY answer was a fisstulotomy. I had 2 trips to Europe scheduled and 2 more conventions...when was I supposed to have this done. Not to mention that every other surgery I've had have been less than successful. I read all I could online, I bought laser lights, terresil cream, nothing would heal it. I toured Europe trying everything I could to keep the infection from going septic again. I am writing this in hopes I don't jinx myself but my husband installed a Bio-bidet to our toilet 2 weeks ago and it has been the fountain from God. My 2 fissure canals are receding and I have been able to sit pain free for nearly a week!
I have been "a day away" from surgery several times but the surgery just doesn't appeal to me. I found the unit for sale on Overstock.com.....its not perfect but this is 1000% easier than a sitz bath.

It is a little awkward to use but was effective to keep the infection from spreading. My fissure is not healed but I bio-bidet my bottom every time I'm in the John...the cool water actually helps move things out, I use a green laser light (didn't find the red or blue did anything), wipe with alcohol, apply terresil cream. I have 2 channels and both have receded significantly. My fingers are crossed that in a couple more weeks they will be gone. I'll let you know.
