Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking HealthcareMagic.
I am Dr.Endri Katro and I will be answering your questions.
The only way to treat properly an anal fissure is by surgery. It is the only option. I'd suggest you consult a colorectal surgeon to get the surgery done.
Everything else, your diet, or local gel will only help with the symptoms but will never heal the fissure completely.
I understand that you are drinking a lot of fluids to avoid constipation. You need to add fiber to your diet and exercising regularly to help with the symptoms.
If left untreated for long years, there might be consequences like hemorrhoids, another fissure etc.
If you have any other question, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Wish you good health.
