? Anal Fissure?: If you have an anal fissure it may take 4 to 6 weeks to heal. Do warm water bathtub soaks x 20 minutes 3 x /day. Hydrate well with water, increase dietary fiber & consider use of stool softeners /laxatives until your painful bowel movements resolve. Medications may be indicated if this condition becomes chronic. See your doctor for further assessment.
