A member asked:
Diagnosed with blood and a fissure. i take hydrocortisone acetate suppositories and colace (docusate sodium). how long will this last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This could take several weeks to heal. One thing is to see a surgeon to get evaluated to see what caused the fissure. But the first line is to keep the stools soft.
