A member asked:
Can there be any herbal treatment of anal fissure (a wound in anus rectum)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but don't buy it: There are many herbal "treatments" on the internet that will take your money. Truth is most early fissures will heal on their own if you ensure that your bms are soft (fluid + fiber) and soak after bms and give it some time. Chronic fissures benefit from any med that paralyzes the anal muscle and relieves the spasm caused by the painful fissure. Rarely do you need surgery for a stubborn fissure.
