A member asked:

Have small anal fissure& internal hemorrhoid inflammation.i like to continue exercising.would walking 4 miles(70 min)/day impede healing or would help?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It : Won't impede healing and if your loose weight and stay active it may indirectly help. Advice: drink a lot of water, warm sit bath, cold compresses also may help. Do not linger sitting at the toilet. Good luck.

Wouldn't hurt...: ...And would likely help, by improving circulation (compared to what sitting around does). Go for it!
