A member asked:
How can i safely have anal sex if i have an anal fissure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop temporarily : U need to wait until fissure is all healed. Preferably at least 4 weeks after the pain is gone. Then stay on high fiber diet and stay well hydrated. When resuming sex, make sure to go slow and lots of lube.
