Dealing with anal fissure can 100% petroleum jelly be used to pass stool with a anal fissure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may help. Best is to avoid constipation and hard stools by using a stool softner and using sitz baths after bowel movements. If not healed soon pl see a proctologist or surgeon
