I am 19 days after op for 3 hems and 1 fissure. Its been really tough. Doc said 1 day outpatient op and 3 days back to work. This has not been the case ;-)
So, basic Q is how long before itching stops? I wake up between 3am and 5am every night in itch agony - cannot stop it, cannot sleep, want to scratch my bum off. Bath, lidocane, partially help, but bath leads to nappy rash and lidocaine takes over an hour.
Same prob after BM
So how long before itching reduces? Any help appreciated, and good luck to all!!

My surgeon instructed me to use RECTINOL on the area. To date I have had very little itching.
This may be better then what you are using.
** Make sure you have a salt bath.
Hope this helps.
