Multiple "anal fissures" scared it could be something else

I've heard multiple fissure and can imagine that happening (e.g. One inside and one at the openning)- fissure can be small, but troublesome. Healing multiple should be no difference from healing one. Good luck to you.

How are you know?

Here are some suggestions I have for you to help you through:

1. Try somee zinc oxide in the form of calmoseptine which has menthol to soothe the area down there as well. Calmoseptine can be bought at almost any local drugstore and can be bought online too.

2. Try squatting when going on the toilet instead of sitting. This is a much  helathier position and the poop sometimes will just slide out,  no pushing or straining involved.

3. I would definately take a fiber supplement, specifically metamucil  is what I take evveryday,  in ordr to allow your stools to be soft and to allow them to pass thorugh easily. THis being said, with any fiber supplemetn, you must drink lots of water when using them, or they will not work veffectively. Also, do not take too much as too much fiber can irritate your bowels on the way  out and diarreah actually does worse down there.

4. I would recommend getting a sphicteronomy surgery if htings dont get better. I waited it out, gave up, had the surgery, and was able to heal within about two weeks. I had a chronic fissure, so I knew where you are ocming from with v all the pain and discomfort.

Try listening to music to distract your mind a bit, especially when going to the bathroom. If you are in writing pain, distract yourself with a movie or TV show right after. Also, to prevent myself from screaming and from putting more stress in the area down  there, i bit down on a washcloth in order to make the tensions with my teeth instead of my sphicter muscle.

Hope this helps!!!

Best,

Welll the good news is you have a diagnosis. Use the nitro as instructed. I was able to get it inside with the smallest gloved finger and rub around the area as MD instructed. Mine too was at the back. I healed in 30 days but then it came back with a vengence. I cant get the nitro inside, too painful. I placed it on the outside which helped but gave me bad headaches. I left mine in the car and it melted. Don't leave it in the car. My bowel movements r extremely painful. I have been told I need surgery. Inner and outer hemrrhoid removal,sphinchterotomy,anal fissure repair and botox. To the tune of right under 7000.00 dollars which my insurance did not cover. In addition to that I could no longer go to work pain too sevete and unpredictable. I hope your outcome is better then mine. See a specialist nit a regular MD.

Thank you I used Q -tip initially but I think the pain made me stop trying. Thank you I will try it again. This AM I am in severe pa,in just applied equate hemrrhoid cream and recticare. Did a sitz bath prior to leaving the house and Ibuprofen 600mg. Hopefully  I will feel better. Thank you again.
