I am a 22 year old female and have had a anal fissure for a year now and its ruining my life. Im scared to go to the toilet. Its so painful. You cant win if you do go to the toilet it hurts if you dont go you will make yourself ill. Its like passing razor blades everytime I go to the toilet. Been back and fourth to the doctors and been given lactlose solution which does soften stools but the pain does not go away. It does seem as if no one knows what you are going through. The only thing that soothes it abit and is a bit of relief is a hot water bottle which I sit on or go to bed with other then that its making me and alot of other sufferers very unhappy.

I know what you are going through if you read my experience - Anal Fissure my relief - this will put you in the picture. As I said in my experience I used a couple of Herbal Remedies and they have really worked for me - all I can say is give it a try.It took about 4 weeks of taking the medicine twwice a day but it did kick in - good luck

i have been goin through the exact same thing for over a month now....i cant concentrate on work, cant have fun ,nothing....iv tried every cream there is but the damn thing wont heal....the only thing that helps a tiny bit is softer stools....the pain afterward is less comparatively but still quite damn bad....also warm baths aka sitz baths 2-3 times a day seem to help some, not me....this is literally a pain in the ass!

I'm not alone - It bloody feels like. Know one seems to understand the pain were suffering.
I have had this on and off pain for a month now. I'm fine after I go to the loo for a while its after- Damn hurts during, as someone else said 'Razor blades'. I can almost guarantee 4 hours later after some itching the internal pain is horrendous - It feels like injections every few seconds......Please tell me it eventually eases - It's ruining my life, work everything.

good luck to you all, I feel only we know how awful the pain is.If you can take a day off work and rest it does seem to help when very bad.I avoid park benches too hard on the bum :roll:

The key is to keep your stools soft no matter what ! I have been on a high fiber diet for almost 2 weeks. Vegetables,fruits, sprouts,salads, u name it....NO MEAT....One important tip is do not delay ur stools being afraid of the pain, go if u get the call. If u delay, the chances of having harder stools increases....Drink all the water you can see....sitz baths help in healing the fissure but dint work for me when i went immediately after passing stools....
Use stools softners....apply the cream onto the fissure, if it burns it means u have got it on the right spot...
Be patient, follow these steps religiously and you will be on the road to recovery in about 2 weeks....I thought the pain would never end but after following this routine for 2 weeks i see light at the end of the tunnel....
Good Luck and may you all get well soon.....

Just dont give up, im 24 and was free from fissures for one year and it just returned. I have had minor fissure a couple of times.
The last time I met 4 different doctors and they all had different advice to give me. GTN ointments did not give me any headaches but were completly worthless. The only real solution came after having a chronic fissure for 4 months.
Inolaxol, its a bulk powder and can be used indefinitly without any side effects. It regulates the water amount in the stools and make them slippy and very soft without causing to watery bowel movements. This combined with lots of lubcrication cured my chronic fissure in a week or two. I am doing the same procedure now. Keeping regular eating habits, learning what works and not is also good. Lots of fluids and generally eating a non-meat diet does the trick in the end.
The reason for the recurring fissure was an unhealthy combination of meat and alcohol.
