A member asked:
My bf has a bleeding fissure that keeps bursting.are there long-term effects if this does not get dealt with asap?can he do anything in the meantime?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anal fissures: Sitz baths for 20-30 minutes several times a day may be helpful with the application of a local anesthetic ointment after the bath.. However, if his fissures have been a long standing problem he should consult a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy to rule out inflammatory bowel disease.
