Anal fissures

Posted , 15 users are following.

hi I'm just wondering if anyone else has frequent anal fissures, I've been getting them quite a lot lately, I went to the doctor and was given some ointment but it didn't seem to help and gave me really bad headaches. Is it common to get them with lichen sclerosus?

    P.S. Under doc's advice I also am helped by taking stool softener (docusate sodium) and a fiber supplement (psyllium or dextrin) 3X daily.
