What is the procedure for cleaning your anus if you have a fissure? do you stick soap inside it?

yes I know soap can dry it out, do you stick soap in it and then lubricate it after with coconut oil and stuff?
Do you use a Qtips with something? washing outside is easy but when people say keep your butt hole clean during a fissure how does one even do this without sticking your finger in there using soap as a lubricant?

No soap, oil of essence or anything that will cause more pain and irritation. Just do a sitz bath after each bowel movement.

aah ok thanks I got it. My doctor recommended I open the anus during the sitz bath with epson salt in the bath but that is impossible.
I bought a soap that is made of ginger and aloe and tumeric, they call it safe chemical soap. But maybe you are right I been using soap a while now and then I apply coconut oil after to prevent it from drying.

If you go to the bathroom or not I would do a sitz bath then apply medication. I hope you have a heating pad or wheat bag to sit on until the pain goes away. The worst part is after a bowel movement. Even after surgery you would want to baby that area as much as you can. I know after my AF's heal I will continue taking stool softeners and eat fiber Rich foods to keep my stool soft just to prevent any future Anal Fissure. My Dr has me taking 600 mg Ibuprofen with Tylenol together, she is right. I have less pain before and after any Bowel movement. I hope that helps you too. This info is for anyone here struggling with AF's.
