Suffering From Fissure And Piles. Having Mild Itching And Pain. Looking For Treatment
Question: Hello doctor......6 month back my wife got fissure.When we contacted doctor told its because of infection.He gave antibiotics and mucipet ointment My wife have completely recovered from that. But 2 month before my wife got again fissure and piles. Piles is in second degree .This time my wife was having mild itching and pain. Both the time he did VRS for examination.He told have to do IRC and LORD'S procedure.But now my wife dont have fissure and having mild irritation only somedays not all the days. My question is whether my wife have go through all these procedure? She is very much scared about operations. Is strict diet will solve the second degree piles? What is the percentage of re-occurance even after doing procedure?
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in
If the symptoms have settled you may go for management of constipation as of now and reconsider getting operated if the symptoms reoccur
Diet and fiber can help control constipation and in turn help control fissures
Second degree piles can be treated conservatively but you can not expect a permanent cure with medicines
Chances of reoccurance after IRC are around 20-22%
Hope this helps
Do write back in case of doubts

Thanks for reply doctor...I am having fallow up question though...My wife never had constipation problem. She used to have semisolid stool and had fissures. Now she has only itching problem in that area. Is fissure and piles are inter-related? Means if fissure is not there...is it correct to assume even piles is also not there. Or atleast for piles she has to go through procedure? Basically can we avoid operation for now?
Hi
Thanks for writing back again
Even if she has no constipation fiber will help her a lot
Itching can be because of fissure/Piles/worms/collitis and/or local skin condition
Piles and fissure can exist individually or in combination
As mentioned earlier you may avoid surgery now and wait for the response of treatment
Hope this clears your doubts
