A member asked:

Is my anal fissure considered "chronic" if it heals with conservative methods but then retears every once in awhile when i get constipated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best thing is to: avoid constipation. But sometimes it helps to relax sphincter muscle. This can be done with stool softeners or topical medication. Consult with a colo rectal surgeon.
