I have been suffering from external haemorrhoids and anal fissures for the past 3 weeks. The haemorrhoids are gradually shrinking, but the fissure pain is severe, especially after bowel movements, causing throbbing pain and burning for 4-5 hours. I am currently using Lox ointment, Diltigesic gel, Gudlax powder, and Cremaffin, but my stools are still not soft despite increasing the Cremaffin dose to 30 ml. I also need to take Chymtral Forte for pain relief to continue daily activities. What additional treatment or measures can help heal the fissures and relieve the pain?
