Anal Fissure will not heal (it's been a month)

I was scheduled today for surgery to remove my hemorriods and repair the fissure . I am a basket case worried about this surgery any help u could give me would be appreaciated. I am freaking out

Let us know, how are you doing post op.

Hello, I recently starting to experience blood and pain with stools that were hard on the tip. Over the last 3 days I have ate apples, oatmeal and raisin bran to help overload myself with fiber.. I was using preparation h hoping that would help, but it didn't. Today I have applied neosporin and after my second bowel movement, I am just about pain free. Neosporin is designed to help treat cuts and make them heal fast. If you can use it for a few days and get a good amount of hours with it applied, it should help... Also, raisin bran is very good for fiber. At least 15 g in the bowl I eat. Good luck

Help please. I have been bleeding for 3 months already. Whenever I pass a stool, there are 1-3 drops of blood. I am really worried that I might have a decrease of blood levels or even worse. I need help. What can you suggest to help treat this anal fissure. :(

Fissures can, and often do, last a whole lifetime. I am an older male, had a fissure for over 40 years. My first fear, on seeing blood down the pan, was cancer of the colon, but a barium meal procedure, diagnosed the fissure. You do need to keep your stools soft, lots of water and fruit works for me, but once in a while constipation and the abrupt blood in the pan, will remind me that the condition is chronic. Not good news, I know, but I have learned to keep a spare set of underwear, just in case.

Has anyone found An answer please help

Recticare at walgreens or riteaide ots 5% lidocaine and numbs all pain.....

I have had Botox twice now for AF which the first time 8 years ago was brilliant it took 7 years to return after I was given codeine for a neck injury and became constipated. The thing is after the Botox last year I started to wee myself and now 11 months on I wee myself at least 6 tines a day but with no pain and I have had the all clear on my urine samples. Any ideas? :(

I have been suffering from a contstant dull anal pain and extremely painful bowel movements for about 4 months.  It turned into pain 24/7 over the last 6 weeks.  The pain was the worst I have ever experienced.  I could not sit, ride in the car, or go to work.  I was stuck laying in bed or sitting in the tub. I was desparate for pain releif.  I saw my primary doctor who gave me Proctofoam HC and suggested Colace 2 times per day.  He also gave me Hydrocodone for pain which did not help at all.  The Proctofoam HC helped a little when used morning and night, but if I used it after BM the burning pain was so intense. I would just sit in the shower and cry.  I tried every cream that was available OTC, Tucks wipes, Prep H Wipes and they only caused more pain.

I was finally able to get an appointment with a colorectal specialist.  The examination was VERY painful, but worth the pain because he was able to tell me it was an anal fissure with a skin tag below it and a throbmosed hemroid beside it. He said fissures usually occur in the front or back but mine is on the side. He suggested that I completely change my diet to include lots of fruits vegetables whole grains and NO meat or dairy,  take a warm bath for 15 minutes 3 times per day to relax the muscles in the area, and perscripbed Rectiv cream.  It will take about 6-8 weeks to heal if I do everything right and don't cause it to tear again.  

Three days later I was feeling alot better.  I only had slight pain with BM and could finally live normal life again.  Since I was feeling so good, I decided to go out to eat fast food with my friends at lunch.  BIG mistake.  I tore the fissure again which resulted in alot of pain and bleeding.  Learned my lesson quickly that I have to stick to this diet if I want to heal.  I am having a fruit smoothie for breakfeast with added fiber powder, salad for lunch with 1/2 sandwich made on whole wheat bread, and steamed veggies with baked potato for dinner or soup.  I take colase morning and night and 1tsp of fiber powder in water with each meal.  Drinking 8-10 glasses of water per day.  After four days I can feel a scap developing over the fissure.  The pain is pretty much gone.  When I do have BM I use a wet wipe to clean after and then sit in warm bath and force water into the anal area to clean the fissure the best I can.  Then I put some neosporin on the scab which I came up with on my own to hopefully speed up the healing.

Hope this helps.  

Before I type along story i wanted to check "reply" works

So for me I get the same Anal fissure with speck of blood. Here is how i get back to normal. Im still learning the best way. 1) when you feel like going hold back few minutes . 2) relax completely thinking of your best moment in life. 3) sit up straight on toilet and lean back slighty. Let your stomach spasms push stool out. 4) pass the stool and clean well. 5) dont sit too long in one place. 6)excercise each day 7) eat soups, fiber food and drink lots water Focus equally on all 7 points. My mistake is I forget what to eat and i get the tear back.

Honey im a 29 year old male and im going through and bad I have a anal fissure and it has been and still is hell for me . I had surgery may 28 this year and im steal healing whike my doctor say its healing fine im raw in the area and it has really become a problem. So I have changed my diet to more green foods no red meats and more fiber and water intake its still painful to have bowel movements and even sit sometimes. I do sits baths and I wipe with babywipes and witch hazel pads and they burn like hell but does sone what help and iI know how you feel with laying down for hours cause thats all im really able to do after a bowel movement, but I can say when using the restroom and finishing try blotting with baby wipes unscented and alcohol free and then soothing with warm water and using the tucks pad to blott and clean then pat dry and use some vasaline on the area and this will help soothe the area that what I been doing and its helping me heal better and I also put medical gauze back there as a barrier because its raw to keep my skin from rubbing together so try this and see if it gets better and also take sits baths with epsom salt and witch hazel in your water and that is soothing and very relaxing and comfortable but elevate your legs in the water and it really helps
