I Have A Fissure Problem. What Type Of Medicine I

You should take high fiber diet
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Fissure is a painful condition.It occurs most commonly after passing hard stool.Due to hard stool,the inner sensitive layer of the Anus will get injured causing a crack like condition, i.e.Fissure.
I prescribe Laxative containing Lactulose.It has to be taken during sleep.It makes the stool soft.
Anti inflammatory tablets (pain killers) will give relief.
I also prescribe an Ointment containing Diltiaxem for local application to my patients with fissure.
Apart from these medicines, appropriate diet should be taken.You should take high fiber diet.You should take green leafy vegetables,drink plenty of liquids.
You should avoid Spicy foods, carbonated drinks etc.
If there is no response with Medical treatment,I do a simple procedure called Lateral sphincterotomy with excellent results.It can be done as a day case procedure.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery
Regards
