Is it safe to use suppositories for an anal fissure or just cream externally?i had used just external cream, and it went away, then a hard stool chang

Anal fissures no fun: Anal fissures are like paper-cuts in the anus. They can bleed, hurt, & recur, particularly with defecation & any other activity that increases pelvic pressure. Disorders of anal-rectal function, straining at hard stool, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, long distance walks/runs are causative & should be addressed. If stool softeners, fiber, topical rx, & behavior changes don't cure, see a surgeon.

Suppositories: Will help heal the fissure from the inside. Also they will help with stooling. A daily laxative would be a good plan until the fissure is healed. All the best.

Avoid: suppositories and continue with external creams. You do not want to irritate the fissure even more. Best of luck!
