A member asked:
Is there any natural/herbal rectal ointment that can relax the anus to better evacuate stool? anal fissure and no insurance.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?natural?: The cream/ointment of quick effect would be either OTC hydrocortizone (mimics the bodies stress hormone) or topical xylocaine. Either can reduce irritation at the anus. However better evacuations are built by better dietary choices that avoid constipating foods like breads/apples/bananas. Peaches/pears/plums and fiber help soften stools. Scheduled emptying also helps the process get on track.
