Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, i have been suffering from anal fissure since one month. My doctor suggested me to use ruticool ointment regularly and eat a high fibre diet. Also, I am taking duphalac syrup for softening the stool. I was getting relief and was on the verge of healing. But recently I had a stomacg upset for which i had to pass watery stool for 3 times. After that the stinging sentation and pain has returned. I am very afraid that did the fissure recur again. Did i tear myself again ? Please help.
Hi, fissure almost always develops due to severe acidity. The extra acid irritates the delicate anal area and causes fissure. Besides stool softener, and local ointment, do take an acidity reducing medicine for 4-6 weeks and eat a soft diet. It will help to heal the fissure. Regards
