Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have pain while passing stools and I have blood along with it. Sometimes, I have many blood spots on my stool. I consulted a doctor and did a physical examination. He told me that I have an anal fissure. He suggested me to take GTN 0.2% and tablet Brixen. If there is no relief in ten days, my doctor told me that I need surgery for it. Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
An anal fissure is a cut in the anal passage. It occurs due to the passage of hard stools. It presents with pain and bleeding in ninety-nine percent of cases. Surgery is not required in most cases. But proper medicines and prevention are necessary to be taken. I suggest you continue taking treatment as suggested by me. Have a follow-up after five days. If there is no relief, I will try to modify your treatment.
