I've had anal fissures for about 3 months now and my gastroenterologist recommended sucralfate ointment. But now I feel like there's a muscle-like fissure near my anus and the doctor is suggesting surgery with a one-day hospital stay. Is surgery really the only option here? Are there any other treatments that could work? I've heard about Ayurvedic treatments would those be a better choice for healing this?

How long does recovery usually take after anal fissure surgery and are there any non-surgical treatment options that could work instead
Recovery after anal fissure surgery typically takes about six weeks for complete healing, but most patients can resume normal activities, including work, within one to two weeks. Non-surgical options like topical ointments, Botox injections, or blood pressure medications can be effective in some cases and may be tried before surgery.
