A member asked:
Got a fissure. should i lube up before pooping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't hurt ;/: Lubrication may help the anal canal to not hurt as much, especially if you have hard stools. Stool softeners will be better, and add a sitz bath afterwards to relax the anal sphincter ( before might also help if you have time ).
