What to do if i want to avoid surgery for fissure, any way out?

SURE: See a local colorectal surgeon - there are many in your area. There are topical treatments for anal fissure which can allow healing without surgery, so discuss your non surgical options with such a specialist. Such treatments don't always work, but frequently do. Good luck.
