A member asked:
What is the purpose of using botox injections for anal fissures? does it go up your butt? does it hurt? what are the side effects?

Relax sphincter: The purpose of Botox is relaxation of the rectal sphincter which is a common source of pain and may allow faster recovery. Risks are low with little probability of spread. Excessive injection may result in fecal incontinence. It involves a few injections and the pain may be mitigated by topical anesthetic.

Help you with pain: It is painful injection since it is already very painful down there. You see the result in 7-10days after injection.
