  • Anal fissure after surgery?

    Itchiness is expected and part of the recovery from the surgery. You can apply Vaseline or Aquaphor. As the wound heals the itching should gradually resolve. Good luck with the recovery process. READ MORE

  • intense rectal pressure after fissurectomy

    Hello. I am really sorry to hear that. This may indicate a possible recurrence of the anal fissure or incomplete healing following the fissurectomy. It is important to avoid constipation and staining. Taking a stool softener may be necessary. Also doing sitz bath helps reduce the pain, in addition to the nifedipine cream. It is very important to follow up with your surgeon for an anorectal examination. I hope you feel better soon. Hopefully this is helpful information. READ MORE
