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!???

@saimahye3682 2 года назад

Hello, how did you get better from it?

@TheBamazon Год назад

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

I hope that you will understand my question. And still feel like there are cracks (micro fissures) outside. Thank you.

@pnwwander3292 15 дней назад

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.

@tenderpawsm473 Год назад

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.

@karacheney5824 2 года назад

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?

@karacheney5824 2 года назад

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.

@lollol-hm7oz 2 года назад

So how long did it take to actually heal ?

@juliehill7143 2 года назад

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!

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 Год назад

@@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.

@@MrKassie78 oh and once ive finished, I use a cold compress around the area to reduce the pain....it works for me.

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? (NO SPICY FOOD, Green Smoothie and Oatmeal ONLY EVERYDAY)

It's hard to say without seeing you. I suggest seeing a specialist near you or a video consultation with me.

I had the fissure operation three weeks ago by injecting Botox into the muscle and treating the edges of the fissure, knowing that it is chronic and I still feel pain when defecating without bleeding, but pain and burning? I would like to know the doctor’s opinion on Botox injections and how much is the wound healing rate

@yourfriendlyproctologist 2 года назад

Fissure healing depends on completing the whole treatment plan. It will depend on many factors.

@Ad-sv5by Год назад

how are you, how long dod you had the fissure and did the botox work?

@habbosh4999 Год назад

In fact, yes, the results were good and the pain went away quickly, but I still take a laxative solution called Movecal to avoid constipation.

@juliehill7143 2 года назад

Does the diltiazam actually help heal the fissure, or does it stop or lessen the anal spasms so that the fissure can heal on its own?

@yourfriendlyproctologist 2 года назад

Both!

I was diagnosed with 3 internal hemorrhoids and rectal tear. I completed my first banding and was prescribed nifedipine ointment for the tear. I am finding a lot of conflicting info. on using nifedepine/lidocaine ointment. The ointment was dropped off by a deliery service and there were no instructions inside. Should the ointment be applied on the outside as well as just inside the anus?

@yourfriendlyproctologist 2 года назад

I'm not sure I understand your diagnosis so it's difficult for me to make a diagnosis. Please have a thoughtful discussion with your doctor.

@fredcdobbs823 Год назад

Nifedipine is a vasodilator to increase healing blood flow to fissure; Preparation H is vasoconstrictor to decrease blood swelling of hemorrhoids.
