I cant even set and watch a simple tv show little lone after i use that bathroom. Have been to a specialist tried all the medicine the soaking but not in Epson salt water.

a Fisher is a small rip on the outer lips of the rectum caused by constipation,
Go to your local chemist & ask for a ointment called  Proctosedyl which cost about $10 for a small tube of 15grams,also you will need to take tablets to soften your stools,a small plastic red & white bottle of 30 tablets called Coloxyl with senna which costs a couple of Dollars,take one tablet every couple of days,I'm on Medication for a illness and I suffer constipation & have suffered it for many years,when going to the toilet you tend to push hard & pushing with constipation causes this small rip on the outer of the rectum & it really is very painful,but if you take the Tablets Coloxyl with senna every couple of days then using the ointment applying it to the small rip will help it to heel,also using every time you go to the toilet & have bowl movent apply the ointment again,try to keep the rip moist with the ointment when needed,it usually takes about a week or more to heel & once heeled if you have constipation again then take tablets to soften your stools & use the ointment as having constipation the small tear will come back again.Try not to use the Tablets Coloxyl with Senna every day as you will be going to the toilet more than you want to,there is also a orange flavor Fibre Supplement called Metamucil which will help soften your stools,a table spoon in a glass of water & stirred then left for a couple of minutes then stir again will become thick like a jelly form which you drink,tastes really nice but you only need a one table spoon in a glass of water every couple of days or you will be going to the toilet to much.

i recently had surgery for a fisher cut,the doctor cleans the dead tissue around the anus area and relaxes the muscle so that the bowel movements are easier.I use sitz baths to help heal and the the doctor advised me to use the sitz pan fill it with water and use it to do your bowel movement in it as the warm water helps the pain.You do not feel the pain when doing it,it may be nasty but helps the pain a lot and its easier going to the bathroom.I am still recovering,its been 4 weeks,its going to take 4 more weeks but its healing faster.No complications as i watch what i eat.

[samiee007]

m also suffering form the same case as ur's. . .(exept operating)
I actually tried to stop thinking about dis problem(as consulted). .but its all r just talkative quotes,we cant stop thinking wid our body problems. . i realized well now.
Operations on fisher are not gud all times,i know too many people who r facing more trouble after operating. .so most probably try to use aayurvedic medicine,which can take more time but can fully prevent ur trouble. .

You might try the old fashion remedy of mineral oil. The problem with an anal fissure is that the pain results in spasm of the anal sphincter which puts pressure on the sore place and decreases blood flow which slows healing. Nitroglycerin has been effective in increasing blood flow and hastening the healing but is frequently limited by the severe pounding headaches that it causes. The other problem is that the area is constantly reinjured with each stool, especially if you have firm stool. The mineral oil, taken orally in a dose of one to two tablespoons daily, acts as alubricant to minimize th e reijury and let the fissure heal. As a surgeon, I hardly ever need to operate on patients for this as I have found that the vast majority of these patients dramatically improve with this treatment. As an aside, the surgery doesn't actually address the fissure, it just cuts the internal portion of the sphincter which takes some pressure off ands allows it to heal.

i was 24 when i got the surgery done i worried about the same things am i going to leak or pass gas without knowing but the pain was so bad that it didn't matter i could deal with that what i couldn't deal with was the burning and sharp pains and not even being able to sit down i just had a baby too so i needed to be able to care for him and it got to the point where i couldn't do anything but lay in a fetal position crying wishing it would go away but the only time was when i was a sleep so i would recommend you get the surgery and not have to live in pain the recovery is only a few days and then you will start to feel brand new:)  oh i had it done two years ago

What a nightmare you guys! Well, I began having rhoids 3 years ago at age 35. I believe it is hereditary. I went to a doctor after I began having symptoms. He did a coagulation procedure where he burns the inside around the whole anus and it cures and prevents the problem. BUTT, I had a fissure that broke open again after a hard BM (3 years later) and that area needed to be re-treated. This time he gave me the cream with diltiazem, lidocaine, and tetra. I was looking up that cream and found this forum. I had to let you know about this wonderful treatment and I am so thankful that docs are out there performing it. Also, I was able to alleviate pressure and shrink this last rhoid before I went in to see him. THANK GOD! I went to the dry sauna twice. That helped a lot. Then I poured some witch hazel on a cotton ball and left it pushed up to the rhoid on the outside of my anus. That was a tremendous relief. Then I sat sideways in my bath and used water as hot as I could stand along with bath salt, drain and reheat. The doc said I will be using this cream for a long time to help heal this fissure. So get treatment people! Please don't sit there being shamed, helpless, and useless. Let's go!!!

I have had same issues for over 2 years. Was too embarrassed and proud to go to Dr. I just thought it was hemhoroids and tried all the lotions creams suppositories and wipes I could buy. I always had cream in my pocket in case I had to go to restroom. Finally pain was more than even I could bare. Went to family Dr. and after his exam which in my opinion made everything way worse. He sent me to a gastrointestinal surgeon. The surgeon didn't even do the whole finger in ripping me a new one exam like the first Dr. He pulled my buttock apart and said oh my you have two large fissures. Prescribed nitroglycerin ointment 3 times a day. I tried to apply but I guess the pain and my fingers were too big. Went back to surgeon a couple of days later and told him to skip all and do surgery. He said no the pain and recovery wad too much and too long. So he said plan B is now in place. I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow. They are going to look inside and while I'm mocked out they are going to give me Botox injections to relax the muscles down there. I'll keep you posted.

I have read all your comments about this issue and I think I'm having the same issue don't know for sure but I have dealt with constipation all my life and now i have this extreme pain when I need to have a bowel movement have been in the ER twice in the last two weeks for what I thought was just constipation issues but now that my ob gyn mentioned it could be a fissure and I've read your comments I'm scared it might be. This pain is worse than having a baby which I just did a month and a half ago. Does anyone know if this is something that can come on suddenly or are you born with the problem? And I saw someone mentioning something about seeing a specialist, what kind of specialist did you see so I can get in to see one myself? I would appreciate any information you have for me, I have had a very hard month and a half I had a baby that had anencephaly and died after 4 days and then had to have a D&C for leftver membranes and then got a blood clot in my leg that I am also dealing with and now I have this issue which started just a few days after I got out of the hospital with the blood clot.

I have a fisher and have been in an awful lot of pain. After every bowl movement I have a lot of pain for at least  1 to 3 hours sometimes, and sometimes all day.  Be Careful with the Tylenol 3. One Specialist prescribed Tylenol 3 for my pain. However, when I went to seek a second and third opinion I was advised by both doctors that  Tylenol 3 causes constipation.

Now I am taking Motrin 800 mg. which is much better. I also was advised of a "grandma remedy" which makes me feel a lot better and like their is healing hope.  The remedy is to get a red hot water bottle from the pharmacy that you can use both as a colonic or douche.  (It has all the materials included in the box.)  Fill it up with warm water (not hot) and a little soap residue from a bar of soap.  meaning fill the bag with water as it runs over the bar of soap.  Use the bag as colonic and let the soapy water flow up into the rectum area until you feel like the water is ready to gush out.  (Believe it or not.  That was the greatest since of relief because it cleaned out the area inside.)  Then I take a "sit " bath in water as warm as i can bear.  Then I dab the area dry, squeeze Betadine Solution (which kills germs in minor cuts and scrapes) on to a gauze pad, and then dabb the exterior area clean.  Get another gauze pad and put Betadine solution on it again and hold it on the entrance to the rectum area to try to do extra cleansing of the area to take place. Take the tip of a Q-tip and apply enough of Neosporin all around and on top of Q-tip.  Take the tip of the Q-tip and try to insert very little of tip  if it hurts but enough of the tip to get a little bit of the Neosporin in near the fisher area.  After all of this,  I have no pain - which is a miracle.  Now the only problem is having to do this after every bowel movement, and if you work outside of your home that becomes very difficult.  Weekend are much easier to get more relief.  Anyway, I hope this helps someone.  Doctors should recoomend these natural home remedies.  Godd Luck!!

.My wife was diagnosed with anal fissure, after several days of sever pain, and light bleeding. And after using all sort of ointments, doctor tried Botox, nothing worked, finally surgery date was set, but severe pain continued specially after defecation, I advised her to sit in warm water with Epsom salt, only 2 to 3 inches of water, it helped with the pain, so she followed it religiously twice a day, specially after defecation, and now after 20 days her fisher has healed and we have called of the surgery.

During this time, she’s been taking fiber substitutes and stool softer, with reasonable water.

Guys it called an Anal Fissure not a fisher.  Just in case you are talking to a doc they might not know what fisher is.  

sweety333, You need to see a specialist and have this looked at you may need surgical treatment if this has been going on 10 years.  You obviously have an infection if there is pus and you do not want to become septic from an infection that could be cured if you would go to the dr.

[sweety333]
