A member asked:

I have internal hemorr. & anal fissure. doc. suggested healing fissure before perf. band ligation. is it safe to fix hem. first? got sever. foul odor

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If the fissure does not heal, yes you can have it fixed safely. Yes it is painful, that is why it called pain in the butt. Make modification in the diet and avoid getting constipation is the key
