Problem in Anus is result of our bad habit of fooding . I am also suffering with this. I have experinced that this problem is more when i consume oily spicy food with high protein and starch it is sure that i am inviting problem. my doctor has suggested me to give more time in eating for less quantity, consume high fibre food lots of water salad fruits and water . Operation and pain killers is not remedy. I am fully convinced with my Doctor and now when ever i feel pain that is because of violation of routine

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.

.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.
