A member asked:
I have been using a lidocaine cream for an anal fissure. i haven't pooped in 3 days. is the lidocaine causing my constipation?

No: Need to take 8-10 glasses of water. Add a lot fiber to your diet,take prunes daily & drink warm prune juice.The stool has to be soft to come out of the painful area.May try stool softeners also.
