Question: Am having chronicle fissure examined three months before doctor suggest surgery but i don't want to do the same, without surgery it is curable
Brief Answer:
IT is curable in certain cases.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Village medicine obviously did not cure your problem it seems.
I would like to know:
Since how many months have you got the fissure?
How may attacks ? More than 3 toll now?
What is the problem you are facing?
How much is the constipation?
Have you associated hard and /or sticky stool / any abdominal problem?
Any history of tuberculosis or diabetes in your past or in family ?
Please try to understand these and many more factors have a direct bearing on the fissure, its healing and outcome of medical / surgical treatment.
To give you a clue::
If your fissure is just for 3 months and if there are less than 3 attacks till now and there are no associated problems , you can try the following method of treatment and you may NOT need surgery.
High fiber diet.
Avoid all the foods and beverages and stress-like conditions which gives constipation.
Laxative for softening the stool- never allow the dose too much to cause liquid stools.
Sitz bath- very important- just before passing a stool and after passing a stool.
Clean the area very clear of the fecal soiling that remains after cleaning; use cotton soaked in the same water to clean.
You can apply liquid povidone iodine locally. Apply nothing else.
5 day course of an antibiotic on prescription of a local Doctor.
Add probiotics and multivitamins.
Avoid stress and mental tensions at any cost; this is a very important factor.
Continue this for 3 weeks and most probably you may not need surgery.
If the results are positive you have to continue doing all this and take proper care.
