Hello,
Anal fissure can be treated with surgery.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
- Using over-the-counter stool softeners.
- Drinking more fluids.
- Taking fiber supplements and eating more fibrous foods, such as raw fruits and vegetables.
- Taking warm baths called sitz baths to relax the anal muscles, relieve irritation, and increase blood flow to the anorectal area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
