Anal fissure? Does anyone have an anal fissure? I've had it for years and I finally found a doctor who knew what it was. It's sooo painful! Are there any remedies that actually work? I drink plenty of water and I drink two fiber drinks a day. I also take stool softeners at night. It doesn't matter how soft the stools are, it hurts so bad! Is there anything I can do to heal the anal fissure?? Is there anything that has worked for you? |
Anal fissures are extremely painful, like passing razor blades. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. There are three things that you didn't mention that could help: First, go as soon as you have to go, don't try to hold it in, it only makes it worse because then you have to stretch to keep it in. Second, there is a steroid cream (you will need a prescription from a doctor) that can be applied topically and it will decrease the inflammation and help with some of the pain. Third, take a warm bath every night. Although this seems simple, the warmth helps the muscles relax so the fissure can heal some. It won't work after just one night, so keep doing night after night for about two weeks.
Good luck, keep doing what you are doing, hope this helps. |
Anal fissure? I am 23 years old and i'd like to tell that i had anal fissure for 4 years and to be honest it totally destroyed my life and when i mean "DESTROYED" i mean literally. It started growing more and more serious as the year pass by and literally went so horrible that it got into my head. so bad that i couldn't think of anything else but that problem. I couldn't do a lot of stuff couldn't eat, couldn't go out, Couldn't concentrate on my studies was addicted to laxatives and what not those who went through fissure know what im talkin bout. untill this year i gave up and raised my hand.and so i opted for surgery as i was in deep pain.its been 2 months till now and things are goin well so i wanna ask to those who have gone through surgery.
1- how long has it been since u had surgery and how is it goin uptill now ?

3- or do you watch what you eat and be careful ?
4- any info to look for or be careful ANY INFO PLZ SHARE IT WOULD BE GREAT. |
Anal fissure is a cut or a tear in the inner lining of the anal canal.
The typical symptoms of an anal fissure include pain during defecation and blood streaking of the stools. Pain is usually described as sharp or tearing and may last for few hours after a bowel movement. Sometimes the pain can be so severe that patients try to avoid having bowel movements.
The majority of anal fissures resolve with non-surgical treatments. Initially, your physician might recommend stool softeners, stool bulking agents and drinking plenty of fluids to keep stools soft and easier to pass. Taking Sitz baths (warm tub of water) several times a day for 10 to 20 minutes can help soothe and relax the anal muscles. Special medicated creams are also used to promote healing by relaxing the anal muscles.
Good luck* |

What is the difference between Anal Fissure/ Fistula and Hemorrhoid? I got an abscess which became Anal Fistula. I am not understanding is it Anal Fistula/ Fissure or Hemorrhoid?
How to know the difference. |
Let me define things first. An anal fistula is an abnormal communication or tunnel between your rectum towards your anus, it is commonly caused by an anal abscess, which you said you had. so even though your abcess may have healed, there is now a skin tract or tunnel from your rectum, towards your anus, this tract will stay there until you have surgery done.what is done is usually called a fistulectomy,or fistulotomy. tracts can course either to the front or towards your back.tracts towards the front are straight while tracts towards the back are curved.if it really is a fistula, i recommend you see a surgeon and have an operation done.the tract might get infected and will lead to more pain and suffering on your part, not to mention possible complications.
An anal fissure on the other hand is simply a nick or wound in your anal area,usually superficial but still painful and very prone to infection.usually it is caused by trauma or passing of hard stools.
The ano-rectal region has a rich blood supply and veins, these veins sometimes get inflamed, enlarge and form what we call hemorrhoids. though usually seen in pregnant women, men are not spared. there are external hemorrhoids,which are superficial, and internal hemorrhoids which are deeper. hemorrhoids usually present as painful masses which come out during a trip to the toilet. some hemorrhoids go back in by themselves, some don't. some may bleed, some dont. in any case, a surgical consult is warranted.
So, what do you have?
If you feel that you have a superficial wound in your anus, it might be a fissure.
If there is a small hole beside your anus that may or may have no secretions, it may be an anal fistula.
If you feel a mass that seems to be attatched to your anus or it seems coming from inside, it may be a hemorrhoid.
Go see a doctor so that you can get treated before it gets worse.
i hope this helps. |
How long does it take for an Anal Fissure to heal? Im pretty sure i've had an anal fissure for over a month now.
I drink alot of water and take hot baths every night.
How long does it take until it heals?
Is it dangerous if i don't do anything about it?
Im too embarrassed to go to the doctors to have it checked up, im only 17. |
| if it becomes infected you are in serious trouble,you think it hurts now,keep screwing around,forget the embarrassment take your little fast tale to the doctor and get treated,you're a fool if you risk something as sensitive as that! gggoooooooooooooooo! |
What is the treatment of anal fissure (a cut or wound in anus or rectum) besides surgery.? I have anal fissure for last two years. I feel severe pain and burning during and after bowel movement which remains from few minutes to few hours sometimes. I have applied several creams, ointments, herbal ointments but no benefit. I have also chronic constipation. I also eat vegetables, drink lots of water, take fibre but no benefit. Please help I shall pray for this forever. |
| I feel your pain- been there and it's horrible. the constipation will unfortunately make you strain for bowel movements and will not help the area heal. Take laxatives to soften your stools because as long as the constipation is there the fissure will not get better. Keep using creams- prep H is a good one and can help soothe the area. I found baths helped a bit as did using lubricant when I had a bowel movement. I also used cold compresses on the affected area. Cold worked for me but I have heard that heat can also help. However, I would recommend seeing a doc. 2 years is a long time to suffer this and it must make you miserable- I remember crying over the pain sometimes and it really got me down. |
Anal fissure complete remedy,is it possible without surgury? I am suffering from anal fissure for eight years as I was anally raped,I have been prescribed GTN,but It just heal the injury,but it doesn't help to reshape or regrow the anal area like natural.Is there any way to heal the injury and make it look like the normal ?Please share ur secret and experince. |
| GTN acts as a local pain reliever and has no effect on healing. You need to keep your stool very soft indeed, but short of being frank diarrhoea. This allows the area to recover without being traumatised every time you open your bowels. |
What happens if you keep disrupting an anal fissure? I am a hard wiper. I'm sorry to sound a bit gross, but each time I wipe now hard or soft it bleeds just a tiny bit. I'm pretty sure its an anal fissure, but what happens if you keep making it bleed? |
ive had the same problem. seriously... the words anal fissure sound so bad.. like a huge open wound in your butt.
it took me a few seconds to work out what the heck you meant to say.
'a small cut in my butt' would better describe the situation. Ive had heaps in the past, - they do heal over time by themselves. just make sure you wash well.
jeez... i remember when i did a nasty so big i actually ripped a bit. nasty.
just give it time. |
Does an anal fissure feel similar to giving birth to a sandpaper baby? sometimes when I poop it feel like I am sh!tting broken glass or giving birth to a sandpaper baby (only for a couple seconds) I am wondering if I may have an anal fissure?
I drink lots of water, eat much fiber, don't have dangle berries (piles/haemorrhoid's) or anything like that.
If I do have one how can I heal it? |
| Why Yes it does sadly. I have an Anal Fissure Right Now :( I have to take a warm bath daily, use baby wipes when I go to the bathroom, and use preparation H everyday for at least 2 weeks because they can come back and if they keep coming back you will have scar tissue which then leads to surgery. I also have to take a stool softener and drink lots of water. I have Lots of pain and blood! ick. They can take MONTHS to heal :( |
