HI,
Ive been suffering from anal fissure for a good few months now, but in the past three months the constipation has become really bad, that when I do finally go the pain from the fissure is unbearable.
At this moment in time, I havent used the toilet in two weeks and I feel I may have developed a fear around going? Ive been using dulcoease and have been perscribed rectogesic gel. For the past two days I have had to remain lying on my back as its the only way I can be comfortable, as wehn I stand up and walk around the pain is too much and (rather embarrasingly) i quite often almost have accidents, however when I sit on the toilet, I cant let my body go. I just end up sitting there crying, even though I am desperate to go. Its now affecting my ability to urinate as I cant sit on the toilet without crying.
I think I may have developed a psychological fear of pooing, which is making my life avsolutely miserable.

Take a deep breath, have a warm bath with a glass of wine or beverage of your choice, light some candles, relax as much as you can and maybe even try to go into a different frame of mind. Sort of like meditating. You need to purge your worries on a Dr. who can actually really help you. If he/ she does not, then ask a friend if they like their Dr. and go there. Please do not continue in this agony.....we on this forum can only help you with encouragement, but Dr.'s are there to help you physically.
I'll be thinking of ya.

It will hurt either way but you need to concentrate on softening your stool.
Medication you apply on the area will not help you if you are constipated.
Lots of water.... wheat/grain, veggies, fruits.....
1 or 2 Stool softeners every night.
You will have to use a laxative and pray.
I used a towel that I bite into it when I had to go. Get one and go.
Don't hold it anymore.

I am just breaking the cycle of a spasm-ing anal muscle which was torturing me everyday.
Thing I recommend for anyone who is constipated and has a fissure:
1. Magnesium Hydrochloride - this will make sure you do not have hard solid poo
2. Diltezam Cream - apply it twic daily and finish the tube of cream - its more effective than rectogesic and doesnt give any headaches
3. Macrogol sachets - these mixed with water and vit c will draw more fluid into your git and make your poo much softer
4. Get pain relief - I have tried everything - and the 3 drugs that killed my pain were
(a) Gabapentin (b) Naproxin (c) Diazepam
- a - targets pain in a different way is very useful for the type of pain assoc with spasming anal issues - b - general slow release pain killer and c - will relax yu overall - if you tell your doctor that you are beyond tensed up and need to relax overall they should let you have it for a period of time.
Lastly, shower everytime you got to loo - and at its worse go IN the shower (sounds gross I know) but when your poo is like burning acid ripping out of you a good jet of warm water to quickly clean out the area is worth its wirght in gold.
Just have plenty Mr Muscle or Cillit Bang to clean afterwards.
Exercise - even if you are not overweight - running will help your anal muscle area get used to moving rather than it clenching like a fist - fight back against it by doing 20 min run each day - at least.
You WILL get better - it just takes a long time and taking right steps/routine and get pain relief while you are in the thick of it.

Firstly I started drinking 10ml of lactalose , 1 in the morning and 1 at night and a fibrogel satchet at lunch time . Stopped using all the creams completely , and drank around 8 pints of water a day. Started to eat a lot of porridge in the mornings and at night. The aim was to add fibre to make the stools softer and it worked. The fibrogel added bulk . The last thing you need is diarreah as this can also be much sorer.
After you do eventually go to the toilet , don't wipe , I used the shower to clean myself . Then I sat in a bath up to my hips as this soothed the pain and burning for a half hour or so.. Then every time I used the toilet I got a pipette and added some olive oil to the area. Use medical grade oil , the kind like you get at a chemist for a sore ear. This I started a week ago and I think it's almost gone . Hope you get better soon ..
