Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 26 year old female. I am having anal fissure and some crack in the anus. I am bleeding when I go to the toilet. It is very much painful. Please help me and suggest some medicine for this. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I recommend the following medicines for anal fissure. However, please consult your doctor, discuss with them, and take these medications with their consent:

1) Intra-anal 0.2% Nitroglycerin: Apply it twice daily for six weeks.

2) Ispaghol husk: Mix one tablespoon (15 ml) of Ispaghol husk in 1-1/2 glass (about 300 ml) of warm water and drink it in the morning. This will help soften your stools. Remember, constipation can worsen the condition.

3) Sitz bath: Take warm water in a small tub or pan and sit in it for 10-15 minutes daily.

Please consult your doctor for further guidance and to ensure the appropriateness of these medications for your specific condition.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Can you suggest an alternative for intra-anal Nitroglycerine?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Apply Nitrogesic 0.2% or 0.4% application in the anus and surrounding area twice daily for eight weeks. Apply very little and allow time to heal.
