Hi,
Noted your typical history of a condition called fissure in ano wherein anal dilatation has been done and advised you to continue with 3 numbers of dilators.
Yes, having manual anal dilatation with anal dilators helps to relax the muscles and allows scar tissue to settle well for anal dilation to be effective.
It takes about a few weeks for good result which can be benefiting you permanently.
Also take care to keep the stools soft.
Have Sitz bath regularly with warm water.
A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics may help early healing but needs a prescription of your Doctor/Surgeon.
Adjust foods and beverages that suit you and stop the ones that cause any gastrointestinal problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
