HOW TO CURE ANAL FISSURE QUICKLY...

Thanks!

I'm just commenting in general, not sure where to write this specifically lol. I'm here to share my experience of having 2 anal fissures this year in hope of helping anyone in what I've been through. The first one came on from a bout of constipation caused by bad diet and stress. It lasted from Feb to Apr 2017. When I thought it was healing I went back to my bad ways of eating, take away pizza, meat, alcohol, sugar and lots of biscuits, pastries, crisps etc. This was the worst thing I could have done and then developed another fissure much more painful and still not healed for the last 5 months. 

Some important advise I found helpful and from these sites were: 

See your GP straight away and discuss, mine prescribed nitroglycerin ointment which has been very effective in healing the fissure. 

Do not allow yourself to get constipated or have hard stools EVER! This will hinder your healing completely.

I found avoiding alcohol, coffee, sodas, meat and white flour goods very effective ?? also, upping your fruit and veg in take will help no end.

I take 400mg magnesium citrate in two tablets daily and 2 Movicol/Laxido/Cosmocol daily. This has helped tremendously in having soft bms which are so important if you want the fissure to heal.

Take pain relief regularly if uncomfortable, have a bath immediately after bm and gentle exercise like walking helps greatly after bm to ease pain and get blood flow to area to help healing.

I'm still not 100 percent but am getting better after 5 months! I have 2 sentinel piles/tags externally which the rectal consultant will not remove until the fissure is healed.

The main thing is to address why you got a fissure in the first place. Most common things are constipation and stress. 

I hope this info can help anyone that needs it 

Thanks for the tips Morris, definitely helped me somewhat especially on the Coconut oil. I am on week 8 of my fissure. It occurred after a bout of constipation, I gave a bit of a push to get things moving and then bang, relief that stool was moving but it felt like I split myself right down to the bone of my butt cheek. I'll never forget the pain of that first day. Never before experienced the extremely intense stinging, burning spasm pain inside and outside my anus and how much it increased in the hours to follow. The first couple of weeks I was using a stool softener I purchased from the Pharmacy and was also applying Preparation H Gel. Initially it was giving me great relief but only to an extent that it was relief and not healing. The pain was not as bad but was still present but bearable so I assumed it was only a matter of time before it would heal, this was until last week (Week 6) after quite a large movement I was literally put back to day 1, full on symptoms had returned pain was so unbearable I was nearly reduced to tears, lying facedown on my bed with my head buried in my pillow wishing the pain would go away. The previous 6 weeks recovery was wasted on this 1 bowel movement. Totally disheartened so I adopted a new routine as follows.

After morning shower apply Germoloids Ointment inside and around the anus. Preparation H is good stuff but I felt it was more for relief than healing. I still have a tube of it just in case. (Germoloids Ointment can be purchased on Amazon)

Throughout the day, after a bowel movement or if there is a itch or any uncomforting feeling I apply Anusol Ointment. Not as intense as Germoloids and doesn't dry out like Preparation H.

In the evening I run a hot bath, add Epsom Salts and Coconut Oil. I take a small nugget of Coconut oil and insert it into the anus and then get into the hot bath. The oil melts inside the anus with the heat from the bath and gives much relief. After the bath I apply Germoloids Ointment as I did in the morning. Then before bed I take 2 Senokot (Stool Softeners)

On top of the above, I am drinking a lot more water daily and taking Fibogel twice a day and substituted my Corn Flakes with Bran Flakes.

I am 1 week out since my second flare up and by sticking to the above procedure my fissure pain has reduced to nothing more than a minor itch, all going well fingers crossed it will be gone by the time this week is out.

To me the controls for healing are don't be lazy with following a routine and be patient with it. What worked for 1 person may not work for another but take a list of the creams and ointments that are being used by others and see what may or may not work for you. The one thing that keeps coming up is Coconut Oil, I have to say I agree with Morris, this is magical stuff I think it accelerates the healing process but not necessarily heal the fissure on it's own.

I hope the above helps anyone experiencing this horrible infliction on their road to recovery.
