Usually 2-3 wks: fissures lasting more than 6 wks are chronic but treatment is still effective. watch your diet, use good hygiene and be patient. Increase your liguid intake and use sitz baths. Ask your doctor what other options are available to you.

Lots of variables: 1) Are you still constipated? That needs to be addressed first. Talk to your doctor about getting your stools to be a toothpaste-like consistency to reduce stretching at the anus. 2) What treatments are you using now? Talk with Dr. about creams, ointments, and sitting in a hot bath tub. 3) How have you been evaluated? Had a look up inside? 4) Sometimes surgery in 5% of people. Good Luck!
