    How to heal anal fissure?
    I understand that fissures in this area can take weeks to heal, but every time defecation occurs, the old wound is opened again. The only way to avoid reopening the wound is to not defecate and not eat, but it's impossible to avoid eating for weeks.

    Does anyone know if there anything that can be done to heal anal fissures and ensure that the problem doesn't come back? Is there some dietary change, lifestyle change, or some kind of medicine or cream that will help the fissure heal and strengthen the tissues so the problem doesn't come back? Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    Have you seen a Doctor? This link below has some good information:
    http://www.medic8.com/healthguide/ar...alfissure.html

    About half of these do not require surgery. You might consider taking a stool softener, such as Medimucel, or the like. Also, the link above above gives some good foods which will help.
    If you haven't seen a Doctor, please do.
    A Gastroenterologist would be a good specialist to see. I do wish you the best, and good luck.

    Fissures and Hemmeroids are very hard to heal! Here are some steps that have really helped me:
    1. Before you make a bowel movement, smear Vaseline outside and a little inside your anus.
    2. Clean after your bowel movement with Cottenelle Flushable Wipes.
    3. After you are clean, use a Tucks Medicated Pad with Witch Hazel. I also found it helpful to put it on the anus and stand up while brushing my teeth leaving the Tucks on for a few minutes before you throw it away.
    4. At least once a day, sit in a hot/warm bath with Epsom Salts (1-2 cups depending on how much water you are using).
    5. Eat nothing but fruit for breakfast up to Noon.
    6. Drink lots of water & juice during the day.
    GOOD LUCK!

    Good luck to whatever you choose to do, first of all.
    There are few things you can do but:
    1. learn to relax you muscles
    2. sitz bath
    3. regular bowel movements

    Mine anal fissures used to be horrible till I tried a few things I found online, and that the doctor told me. I went to the doctor about it twice, and he told me the same things.
    1. Wipe with baby wipes after bowel movements, or the like.
    2. Take a fiber supplement, this will soften the stool, and also make you more regular, preventing constipation and hard stools.
    3. After the bowel movements, I apply witch hazel and vaseline around my anus, and a little inside. This aids in healing and keeps the area clean.
    4. Lastly, you have to drink a lot of water, and stay away from very sugary things, as the fiber absorbs the water, making the stool softer, and easier to pass.
    Fissures take a long time to heal, so if you stick to this religious regimen, then you should kick up the process.
    I've healed the fissures on the outside of my anus,and I did have a few relapses after eating horrible junk food, and eating a lot of cheese now, just to heal the ones on the inside. Good luck, and God bless.

    I just almost healed my fissure! I have suffered from almost 2 weeks of fissure and has experienced extremely pain during bowel movement and the pain lingers for the whole day after that. Can't sit, can't walk, can't sleep. You just don't dare to eat and poo. But hang on there, there's light at the end of the tunnel! Remember to eat soft diet, drink TONS of water, drink a glass of prune juice everyday (don't overdo it like what I did, I didn't know it's a natural laxative if drank too much), always clean the area with water and do sitz bath religiously a few times everyday (running warm water also can do if you do not have a bath tub), and put on aloe vera (the steriod cream they perscribe is of no use), try your best to lie flat on your chest rather then sitting down (cos you will add pressure to the cracks and hinder their healing). If tired doing so, try walk ard gently & slowly to loosen up your muscles.

    If you experienced itchiness after you put on ointments, or aloe vera, rem to wash the area and STOP using whatever you have applied. I got rashes after putting aloe vera for a few days. Try to let the crack heal by itself, it works for me! In a day after stopping the aloe vera, the cracks de-swell and healed by 80%!
    Remember to make sure your *** is always clean and dry though. Moisture hinders healing.

    Lastly, I tried and proven that when you poo, try your best to shift to a position that won't put pressure to the crack (fissure). For me I have a fissure on the left, so I lift my left leg slightly off the ground (tip toe) and shift my bodyweight to the right when I poo. Then with the help of a stool softener or prune juice, the stools should be easier to pass, and thus won't tear the fissure again, allowing it to heal. Note, DO NOT STRAIN to finish if you can't! It can be due to your piles that gave you the false alarm. Let nature takes its course, walk around and let your digestive flow first. Drink water.

    I hope all these tips could help all of you to heal soon. God bless and you'll see light soon!

    Yes you must eat high fiber foods, I find that oranges about 6 a day, as well as greens and nuts , definitely don't eat stuff that you know will give you the ****s, as long as your poo slides out you are good to go , anal fissures take at least 4 months to heal, keep are clean, try these meds, anoheal,

    Im 45 years old... Not trying to sound gross just saying how I developed this anal fissure.I've had this going a year now! All started oneday when I went to use the de toiy... I didn't relize I was constipated and forced a monster turd out, but it got halfway and stopped for a few minutes, (hurt like hell)wasn't the first monster turd I've ever had!so I didn't think much of it,just glad to get it out.Then the next few days after each pooper burned like hell,couldn't sit itchy anal all the time would feel better for aday or two then came another monster turd seem I tore or tare anal again and again... after 6 months of misery,I said this is not right so I read up on it,was the first time I had ever heard on anal fissure.Everything it said not to eat or drink I was doing it... I stop eating spicy foods and drinking alcohol,that alone was a relief.now I eat lots of high fiber cereal,pasta,salads,fruits,veggies burgers... I now drink water and cranberry juice instead of alcohol sucks but it works... I take epson salt baths daily after the pooper and use a soap with aloe only,don't use toilet paper with perfume will drive you nuts, baby wipes or tucks.I feel a lot better but not sure if completely healed yet and might hafta have the anal fissure surgery I hear the more you tare the anal the harder it is to heal... I still sneak the spicy fatty foods every now and then, I get same results monster turds ouch. Lol seroiusly be careful when pooping... anal fissure not something you want to happen esp at in your 40/s plus

    I don't recommend vasilne to help past stool ,it will keep anal moist... to avoid monster turds stay away from the fatty foods remember the more you eat the bigger the turds lol... keep anal dry as much as posible it will heal the fissure faster, after a epsom salt bath completely dry anal I use a fan.

    Hi Juliagws, I'm not a doctor but only a month ? Takes two weeks or more to heal anal fissure and easy to tear again, main thing is the smaller the stool the better, but easier said than done! I've had it for almost a yr, what exactly are symptoms? Itchy anal, burning, stool in blood ,brown mucus? Are you eating spicy foods or drinking alcohol ? Spicy foods or sweets will irritate the anal and make your life miserable, if really painful make sure its not hemorrhoids.all I can say is eat lots of cereal high in fiber oatmeal,fruits, veggies, water,no spicy foods corn chips anything that will make a monster turd! Get some metamucil drink daily... take epsom salt bath after bowel movements a must then another in the evening, use a soap with aloe avoid toilet paper tucks or baby wipes better... use medicated powder to keep anal dry! Don't sit in chair all day unless you have to... lol I'm sure you can find better answers online I'm still looking myself good luck...

    I also suffered from anal fissure it's horrible and like hell on earth.First I had small cut in anal canal but I doesn't care it much because I was touring.Then for 4-5 days I pass hard stool so that small cut becomes fissure.Now I was very worried because when ever I pass stool I was in great pain.The treatment which I followed was
    1-at early morning I wrap xylocaine jelly 2% on finger stall and gently insert it on anal opening so that cream spreads on fissure, then I mix two creams pilex and annovateon finger stall and insert it on anal canal.
    2-now I took 2 glass of water and wait for pressure to come, after defecation I took sitz bath for 10 minutes.
    3-when ever I had urge to defecate I do the procegure no 1
    4-i totally change the diet, I take fruits, greenleefy vegetables,two times isabgol, and lot of water
    5 -before going to bed I tate liquid paraffin 30 ml
    So anal fissures are very dangerous and we had to take lot of care for their healing and it took around 120 days to heal anal fissure of mine

    I had a fissure for SIX MONTHS! I tried everything I would read on these blogs, something's would work but only for a couple of days at most. I am delighted to say I have finally healed my fissure!! Drink LOTS of water, rub a pea size amount of zinc oxide (desitin) with a qtip in and around your anus and drink a teaspoon of milanta at night for a couple of days. This healed me almost instantly after six painful months, I was all healed in about three days! Its been two weeks since I had my last painful BM! Highly recommend to give it a shot. Hope this works for you as well as it did for me ;)

    I had one for about 2 years and it finely got infected. Hurt like hell!! Infection went away after awhile but I still was left with the fissure. Tried several remedies to cure the fisure but nothing worked. I finely decided to come up with my own remedy. This is how I cured it:

    1. For a week or two I would take a shower right after a BM. Wash really good with antibacterial soap. I even wash up inside my anus with soap (did not irritate me but Im sure it may others). I have a detachable shower head so I used it like a bidet for a few minutes with warm water to flush the soap out.

    2. After shower I would put Vaseline inside anus.

    3. Used fiber

    4. drank alots of water

    5. stayed away for alcohol

    Worked like a charm!!

    I think all members are agree on
    • * Take your meal (FOOD) on regular time (so stooling time can be controlled)
    • * Drink lot of water
    • * Soft diets
    • * After pee anus should be clean by wipes
    • * Strictly avoid chilli (MIRCH MASLA) it hurts too much when you pee
    • * Never try hard stooling
    • * Use sitz bath
    • * For an emergency you may use xylocaine jelly (or any other paralysing jell)to control pain
