For those of you that don't know what an anal fissure is here is a complete anal perforation, it's kind of the same only a fissure is not quite as horrible.

The treatment for a fissure can be quite extensive. You can avoid any type of medical procedure if you are able to sit in a tub of hot water 4 to 5 times a day. That combined with stool softening and eating lots of cooked vegetables and drinking water. Or you can have your doctor do an external sphincterotomy where an incision is placed on the sphincter muscle and relaxes the muscles taking the pain away from the fissure site. it is an almost immediate fix to the problem with little or no long term side effects.

An anal fissure is a tear in the external sphincter.
FYI: You might not be eating enough roughage, enough water or your just pushing too hard & thus tearing.
I don't think, there is a need for surgery.
Avoid sharp foods popcorn, chips.
Treatment can involve sitz baths or use some otc ointment like a topical anesthetic. Most fissure will heal spontaneously.

You may need to have surgery if anal fissure cause sever infections. If they aren't too bad you can use, emollient suppositories, Metamucil (stool softeners) analgesic ointments ( nupercaine) Tuck, witch hazel pads, sitz bath or warm compresses to help the pain

I've never heard of anal fissures being so severe that they required surgery, Instead try to soften your BM's to reduce the pain, Drink lots of water, eat lots of fiber, and exercise, if you need to take stool softener or laxatives,

Yes, it's a minor surgery that carries risk of leakage of fecal matter and/or gas. The possible risks don't outweigh the benefits of relieving someone of this painful condition (a tear in YerAnus).

My late husband suffered for years with this, he was never healed but over the years it did get a bit better. See a specialist but first maybe research a naturalpathic doc. .

Talk to your GI doc about going on Flagyl. Sometimes they close on their own when Flagyl is being taken.

it can be prevented by using diet rich in fibre.
somethings like apple, fig and raisins always help.
but in extreme cases surgery would be required.
