HOW TO CURE ANAL FISSURE QUICKLY...

 I read somewhere that someone was finding it to irritate more than help and seeing as I was making slow progress I thought I'd give it a go.  I had been using it for four weeks. 

My news is that my fissure has gone. I am even drinking a glass of wine to celebrate!!! Four days of coconut caplustes used as supposutries has healed it.  Morris's baths did not work for me, I think because one of mine was very internal.  I cannot express my gratitude for this discovery enough. 

If this info can be spread and help others I would be so happy.

Like I was saying I tried many different sites but never found a good solution...by accident I stumbled across this board and it woke me up. Also I considered the possibility of surgery but I checked a scary YouTube video where they cut your inner sphincter muscle to relax it so your fissure can heal. Seemed really extreme, drastic and scary. Besides I woke up to the realisation that I just need to keep my inner ring relaxed and that would do the trick. Along with using the 'Sitz bath' as recommended here....worked wonders! For once in a very long time I have no pain when I go to the bathroom and no tearing/bleeding. I'm not healed yet because I only instituted this therapy for over a week now but the change has been amazing.

What I didn't know before was that it take about 6-8 wks for the fissure to heal. In the past when I got better, I went back to my 'old habits' and boom, my fissure would open up again and I'm be back to square one. I was scared that it might stop healing again if it happened too often. Anyways I'm very glad to report that the bleed has stopped. Oh the big factor is DIET....if you're taking care of 'both ends' dealing with what you're eating, it's not going to make any difference.

Months ago I relied on Senekot and Metamucil for stool softening but they weren't that great-not very reliable and I didn't want my body's digestive system to get messed up due to overuse...so I'd use them for a few days and stop. Then I decided to go the natural way and found what worked best for me was pitted prunes and bananas. Then I eat anything I want and the more fruit I eat, the better it works.

Anyone that's gone through something like this would know how scary and painful it is. Plus it's not something we want to share with anyone until things got out of control.

Anyhow I'll stop my rambling shortly. I went through the trouble of creating this account to thank all those who voiced their opinion on here-it really made a difference to me. Seriously 2 weeks ago, I though nothing could work for me I was desperate and hopeless and thought I'd have to maybe get surgery or god knows what....but it's thanks to the advice here and other sites, that I was able to tackle this problem and almost solve it. I'll know for sure in 2 mths when I hope to be fully healed but I learned my lesson and not to take it lightly.

When I first got the fissure about 2 yrs ago, it was a small cut. Had I done my research and took immediate action, I would've fixed it right away...I'm mad at myself for ignoring it and not being more disciplined. Anyways best of luck to anyone suffering, but do take the advice here to heart.

I considered getting all the medicines and remedies mentioned but simple mind control-mental relaxation when I 'went', combined with sitting a warm bath was enough to put me on the path to healing. Now I'm feeling great-like my old self, almost...not 100% but I'm very optimistic. So hopefully in a couple of months I'll be healed and back to enjoying my life fully again. Best of luck to all.

I do want to caution, as a registered nurse (RN) use a STOOL SOFTENER. Dulcolax is a common brand that has a STOOL SOFTENER ONLY version, or one that also has a laxative in it...look at the label, taking a LAXATIVE daily can promote dependence, the only thing you should take daily is a STOOL SOFTENER....dependence can cause you to not be able to have a bowel movement without a laxative.

Colace, Surfak in the US are brand names of stool softeners, but store brands (Walgreens, CVS, etc) are good too...they do not contain any laxative, and are wonderful for softening the stool inside you, so that when it passes, as someone else describes, it's just all squishy....I take one twice a day to keep my stools soft when I get into a situation where my irritable bowel is not causing me to have diarrhea. That's when my fissures flare up, when I have firmer BMs, that and sitting a lot. 

Recently i had this problem and cosulted doctor as well on this, no pain releief even after 3-4 days, while exploring we found your ideas and we stated following it.worked greatly in my case and i could able to see the result within a day...

Thank you so much 

I gave up on all the rememdys, I must be honest.  I tried the creams, antiinflammatory enemas, epsom salts, etc.  Maybe they all helped.  I think the biggest thing that helped was watching what I ate and time.

Time really feels like the only thing that healed me.  For the past month all I have done is watch what I ate and take the occassional Dulcoease softener - Movicol was too powerful and ll it did was make my poo watery and frequent which only made the situation worse.

While I still go frequently, due mostly to a shortened bowel, at least with the Dulcoease it resembles something closer to normal poo.  

Anyway - there were days I was losing hope that I would ever be out of pain.

This was the worst, most soul destroying, painful, impossible situation, and I have sheer sympathy for anyone in the midst of it now.  But it WILL get better - but you must be prepared to wait quite a long time, which is the cold hard truth. 

If I can make one suggestion that will save your sanity - do not look to the future - months can seem forever and will make you depserate, particuarly during a very painful period.  In so much pain, loooking so far ahead to when it would be over made me want to end it all.  There were days.....

So just take ONE day at a time - just get through TODAY, and then tomorrow.  Take the pressure of a long healing period away and only deal with it one day at a time.  As soon as I did that, I started to feel better mentally.  It was hard to do - because all you want is for this to end - but it really did make a HUGE difference in my attitude and mental health, which was on a steep decline.

I still have some pain, I think mostly attributed to skin tag, which I will be discussing with the doctor today on y last follow up.  (Hopefuly last).

Good luck everyone.  This truly is an awful awful thing for anyone to have to go through, an dunles you have - no one has a CLUE how bad it is.  I hope you all find your way through it.  xx

When I initially heard the $536 price I said damn that and googled, finding a product called Forces of Nature Fissure Control that I could order through Walgreens. It contains homeopathic agents HarnamelisVirginiana 6x (supposed to relieve hemorroidal pain),

Calendula Officialis 6x (supposed to promote healthy skin) and German Chamomile, Helichrymsum, Sesame and Lavender oils. a drop 2-4 times a day for roids and fissures pain, inflamation and itching. $24.

I've been doing the sitz baths after defecation.

The last two days I was feeling much better - didn't need to shift my weight off my butt while driving, etc. And then yesterday something caused it to stretch and I shreiked and it's sore again.

I apparently have stage 3 roids that I have to coax back in after elimination. I think they are part of the fissue problem. The proctologist said they were seperate but I think not. I'm starting to think I probably need the staple  surgery done but I don't want to be laid up for another week or two - if I can get by like this for another week or two.

For stool softeners, they recommended Mirolax which I guess is a combo laxative and softener.

Please suggest me how to heel up my anal fissure and how should I do for it.;

Thanks
