    Hi Dr- so sweet of you to post all these videos. I have dealt with hems since my first baby 10 years ago and a fissure (and hems of course) since my second 7 years ago. My fissure got so bad last November I finally saw a doc who prescribed me nitro and I started taking stool softener, however I still have monthly flare ups. I am currently having a flare up with 5 days of soft poops but still daily bleeding and pain so just ordered Pranicura. Praying this will work -otherwise surgery!???

I had the botox shot for the fissure, I screamed for a week ( I think it affected the hemorrhoids ) but in the long run, it did help heal the fissure.

      The most important thing that helped me was baths. At least two a day.
      None of those sitz baths that fit inside the toilet (lots of pressure on the butt), a real bath stretched out in the tub.
      Witch hazel helps a LOT. Tucks and Prep H pads are nice at work but I would really suggest a large bottle of it at home.
      Also, watch your food. Diarrhea and watery stools can be just as bad as hard stools.
      When the fissures were painful I found it best to keep covered in Neosporin, but this isn't advised to do long term. So when the pain lessened in a week or two, less creams to let dry and heal. Treat it as you would a cut or wound on your finger

    Hello Dr Chung. Thank you once again for the precious informations that you share with us and I hope that you are fine. I have a question : Do you know why even if we do not really feel the inside fissure anymore, or much much less than before, there is a burning sensation which stays next to the skin tag that is left (but it is like on the outside part of the anus near the skin tag)? I hope that you will understand my question. And still feel like there are cracks (micro fissures) outside. Thank you.

    Thank you so much Dr. Chung for the information! Your videos have helped me understand more about the issues I'm having. I thought I was suffereing from severe external thrombosed hemmorhoid pain. It was so bad I couldn't function and had to call out from work and I didn't eat for a couple days due to fear of having a bowel movement. I got the Hemorrhoid to shrink with lidocaine cream and stool softener, but I was still in excruciating pain. I think I also have an anal fissure. I am using the anal fissure oil from Healing Natural Oils and that has reduced the pain significantly and (hopefully) started the healing process. Time will tell.

    Due to IBS and pelvic floor disorder, I've experienced all of the above. I've lived with hemorrhoids, fissures, abscesses, and fistulas. Aren't I a lucky guy? I've tolerated setons and a fistulotomy, but what I never want is hemorrhoidectomy or THD. Both of those sound horrible. And some of these docs even outright refuse to give pain medication after these procedures! The meds don't bind me like they do to some people, and I don't use more than I need to. But certain doctors don't even care. Luckily, mine were decent enough to allow me to have some.

    I had hemorrhoid banding in 2th March then 10 minutes later I was feeling strange thinks in my bump. Like after the gym you feel muscles pain. That time my doctor did 3 hemorrhoid banding in same time then 3 weeks later 2 again.
    When I had to go to toilet I always feel something bad along my left leg as well like a nervous pain and I had a plenty blood as well. I got rectogesic cream after first banding because my doctor said maybe I have fissure as well, but definitely I never had before and I think I got it when he did first branding.
    5 days before I did a big change for my eating and daily habit and since 2th of Marc last 4 days my bleeding almost gone and the pain after the toilet not the same like before. I hope I will be again the same person before the banding which normally wasn't very important and made my life worst.
    My question is can I go to the gym and do any exercise before this fissure will dissappear? I normally do walking only, but because I reduced my food a lost 5kg in the last 3 months and I lost a lot muscles 🙃
    Sorry about my English I hope you can understand what I mean.

    What about surgical options for treatment? All those creme's just mask the problem and don't resolve then. Not to mention with all those cremes, your underwear will stick to that area because cremes are sticky and then you have a mess changing you underwear two times a day or rushing into the shower to wash all of that stuff off because cremes can cause itching. I know all of this from experience and that's why I would have loved to hear surgical options to permanently fix fissures and hemorrhoids together.

    Dr. Chung, thank you for these videos. I just had a baby 2 months ago. First I had terrible coccyx pain for 2 weeks, then my perineal stitches from a 2nd degree tear started to come apart. After both of those healed-took a month, I began having terrible anal fissure pain. I am a week into using Rectiv, trying my best to have a lighter diet so I only go once a day, but it’s tricky bc I have to eat enough to keep up my breast milk supply for nursing. 🤦‍♀️ Basically, I eat a lot of nuts-high calorie/ low volume. It’s still incredibly painful when I use the bathroom, but I take a warm shower afterwards every time. I’ve watched several of your videos and I have a question about the “angles” of the rectum and anus. For whatever reason, it is more comfortable for me to stand to empty my bowels. If I sit or use the squatty potty, I feel like I’m stretching my anus further apart. Standing with my tailbone tucked under slightly is the only way. I also grip a few hair brushes in both hands to short circuit the pain receptors in my brain so the pain signals from my bottom aren’t as intense. Got it down to a real crazy science over here. What are your thoughts on why it’s more comfortable to stand?

    I want to understand if this is all normal and part of recovery and when this all will stop and will I be able to have my normal life back and by when…I am scared to go out as I am scared I might poop in my pants… there is no pain for last 2 weeks at all but I am having big time anxiety and panic attacks…

    I had internal hems at stage 4 and a anal fissure very close to the anus that would not heal at all....and would split back open regularly after a heavy movement followed by flare ups that caused me to have to have time off work. It was some time before i realised myself (after researching) that i had an anal fissure also. My doc diagnosed me with hems only and so that is all i was treating.....for over 7 weeks....i thought i was healing until it split open again after a heavy movement...worse than before.....pure agony. So personally (through experience) i'd recommend stool softeners first for anyone tackling both of these issues. Then train yourself, like I had to, to poop without over stretching your anus. This is only really possible when using stool softeners. Cold compress after movements also helped. It only takes one bad stool to undo weeks of progress so stool softeners are a must. I use Lactulose.

    • @juliehill7143
      @juliehill7143 2 роки тому +1

      I agree. Softening the stool is key, but not diarrhea. And trying for once a day BMs. . The only laxative that has really allowed for little to no pain for me was Restoralax which is made with Polethylene Glycol 3350. Also Dr. Cheung’s advice to not keep wiping over and over w toilet paper has helped. Treating the area as the sensitive area that it is. Gentle wiping once or twice, then maybe a gently flush of warm water from a cleansing bottle and then only blotting with tissue. Also using gentle unscented no alcohol baby wipes. The key word is gentle. Extra advice: be careful not to accidentally burn yourself in the desperate measures taken to relieve pain with hot water or microwaved hot packs!

    • @MrKassie78
      @MrKassie78 Рік тому

      My case is so similar to yours. I have been dealing with a fissure for the past 2 months after getting botox injected. I've been on a softner called Movicol - it makes the movement soft but the quantity that comes out during a BM is way too big for me and it often rips me open. It's also terrible to have to go anywhere else but at home because of the mess😒
      I have lactulose syrup - will be trying that instead of the Movicol for the next few days to see how it works.
      Would you mind expanding on how you trained yourself to go without overstretching?

    • @logicmofo4810
      @logicmofo4810 Рік тому +4

      @@MrKassie78 The way I deal with my BM is to wait until the point of no return, if you catch my drift, sit down at the last moment, now, don't push on top of the natural muscle movement because that allows too much through into the area you don't want stretched which can cause more damage...like it did for me. Instead, now I squeeze in at the moment of no return, but only enough to reduce the girth of the stool that is naturally coming out of its own accord...remember, no pushing....this is where lactose helps at the beginning. That and a decent diet. I've had to reduce the amount I eat...not by loads but, I ate too much anyway lol. Once the natural muscle movement has stopped (even if you feel there is more inside that decides it doesn't want to come out of its own accord)...do not push it out. When I get to that point I stop and finish. Doing it this way might mean more movements for you but at much lower risk of re-ripping something that needs to heal. Dude, I hope this helps and I hope you're ok. I'm not a doctor at all and am just letting you know what works for me. Good luck.

    Dr. Chung, as a Proctologist, when someone who has active fissures for 6 weeks internally (currently taking diltiazem for 4 weeks now) and doing BM and they feel the internal anal being so ITCHY and BURNING while releasing poop happening for a week now and itchyness and burning will disappear when finish pooping, why do you think that is? Is it because it's healing and it keeps opening while pooping?
