A member asked:
Does shore natural fiber therapy work for anal fissures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to treat: Anal fissures are often difficult to treat and slow to heal. Avoidance of constipation is a necessary component of treatment and fiber can help. Usually a prescription cream containing 0.4% Nitroglycerin is necessary to expedite healing. See your doctor.
