Suggest Remedies For Chronic Constipation And Anal Fissures

hello... well when my bf was younger he used to suffer from chronic constipation. now at 22 suffers from haemorhoids (sp?) and late last year the doctor told him he also had an annal fissure. well he is always in pain, whether its his haemorhoids flaring up or its his fissure but we hardly have sex anymore, from a ferocious appetite... he just "cant" anymore. its trully affecting us, what can i do, i can try and be as understanding as i can but the feeling of rejection is unshakeable :(

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I really appreciate your concern.

You need not to worry, your boyfriend's problem is very much treatable, I will suggest you certain things for his speedy recovery and good health.

In my opinion He should visit a general surgeon or gastrosurgeon for physical examination, proctoscopy if need be, and corrective surgery if indicated after porper assessment.

Meanwhile I would advise him to follow these guidelines.
Ask him to avoid constipation by taking lots of fresh fruits and vegetables with dietary fiber supplement which will increase roughage and facilitate in bowel evacuation.
In case of chronic constipation, laxatives like liquid paraffin or lactulose 30ml at bed time is advisable.
Sitz bath twice daily, He can take sitz bath by keeping his rear end in bathtub filled with lukewarm water.
multivitamin and food supplements to raging his health and stamina.
Encourage him to go for physical exercise regularly

I'm sure these measures will help him, Please feel free to ask for further clarification I will be happy to help you.
Best wishes
