Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Constipation/fissure: Usually psyllium, decreased dairy products (they harden the stool), increased water, stool softener, non-steroidal preparation h up inside the anus daily and see a physician for some Nitroglycerin cream (pharmacologically relaxes internal sphincter).
