Brief Answer:
Anal fissures usually resolve with correction of IBS.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
Yes, you can apply candid b around the anus.This will offer quick relief.
IBS causes bowel disturbances predominantly constipation which may lead to Anal fissures as in your case.
So IBS should be treated first which can correct your Anal fissure to a large extent.
I generally prescribe patients with IBS a short course of anxiolytics and Isphagula husk (once spoon mixed in water at bed time daily ).So discuss with your doctor if he shares with my opinion and prescribes the same.
This therapy will alone be helpful in most cases.
Dietary management with high fiber diet and fruits like apple and pomegranate will be helpful.
Avoid straining of stools.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
