Suggest Treatment For Painful Bowel Movements In Case Of Anal Fissure
I had Botox for an anal fissure a month ago... It is still very painful when having a bm also there is still alot of blood which obviously means the tear is still open. I am taking fibre stool softners and drinking loads of water. Is there anything else I can do I want it to heal before the Botox wears off

Hello,
Use antibiotics like metronidazole thrice a day for five days. Use sitz bath to heal. Have a soft diet and apply local diltiazem gel twice a day. Continue high fiber diet and avoid alcohol.
If symptoms not improved with medical treatment, you need surgical intervention like lateral sphincterotomy. Please consult your surgeon, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
