Im 21wks pregnant and have anal fissure because of hardened stool.what can be used to cure the fissure and is calmoseptine ointment safe for pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stool softener: The best treatment for an anal fissure is to avoid constipation with a simple stool softener. Natural foods such as prunes or raisins are likely your best bet while you're pregnant, in addition to drinking lots of water and walking more. I would ask your OB about calmoseptine.
