I have some genuine tips - Chronic fissure for 3 years

​

I'm someone who's living with chronic fissure for three years

Firstly PLEASE DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER AND TAKE PSYLLIUM HUSK DAILY

this is so you donot get the hard stool

Next whenever you feel like pooping i go to the washroom and splash hot/ warm water all over my aashole ofc not too hot

But warm water relaxes the muscles around so it is easier for them to stretch

After this is quick lubricate my anus with either clarified butter or coconut oil

Then i sit on the toilet

The more you clencg the more it hurts and chances of cuts

Please lift your feet or squat

I know it hurts but just don't push or strain and take keep breathes

Exhale when the poop comes out

After you're done please take a sitz bath and apply the healing ointment given by your doc, i take crema gel

Don't take laxatives because they make the poop sticky it sticks around the wound and it prevents the wound from healing

Also donot forget the lots of water and psyllium husk DAILY WITHOUT FAIL

We want to avoid constipation

I'm someone who's suffered for too long

It heals but it only takes one constipated hard stool to ruin all your progress so please take care

Infact I've had times where I was constipated literally in a disgusting public train toilet and it was so bad that I had to use my finger and dog into my poop to make space and let it come out

Oh god best believe I SAW GOD AND CAME BACK

Please trust my advice
