I'm dealing with some pretty uncomfortable abdominal pain and cramps that sometimes spread to my back. I just bounced back from a stomach infection, but now it feels like this pain is sticking around. I've heard of normaxin tablets for this kind of issue. Do you think it's a good option for me, or should I go a different route? Its really making things tough for me.

my doctor said I have an old healed fissure and surgery isn't needed but I'm not sure what that really means does it still cause problems or is it completely fine now

It's understandable to be unsure when a doctor advises against surgery. While surgery is often a last resort for chronic anal fissures, most cases can be managed with conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and medications.
