Anal fissure: What helps it heal?

Have you seen a colorectal doctor? They may have more expertise for fissures than a GI doctor. I had horrible pain with every bowl movement as well, I got a botox shot and that helped. Also the sitz baths and if you are on chemo, get off Avastain. That is what ultimately solved it for me.

Thanks for recommending a colorectal dr - but all I found were "colorectal surgeons." The thing is that I'm doing everything I can to avoid surgery including botox. With my history I think iI should avoid anything like that. I'll try calling to find out what they have to offer that isn't invasive. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised?

Hi again! At first I was afraid of a colorectal surgeon thinking they'd only offer surgery - but - Thanks to your advice I checked around and found a colorectal surgeon who definitely can treat fissures in ways that avoid surgery if I wish. And I have an appointment TOMORROW!!!
Really really thanks!
