my father has been dealing with a fissure and tried anovate cream along with antibiotics but still isn't feeling better is surgery the only option left for him
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If a fissure persists beyond 6-8 weeks of conservative treatment (like Anovate cream and antibiotics), surgery may be considered. However, it's not always the only option, and a colorectal surgeon can assess the best course of action. Surgery, when necessary, often involves a lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS), which involves cutting a small part of the anal sphincter muscle to release tension and promote healing

View allI've been dealing with piles and fissures for about a year now and medicines haven't helped much. I'm 25 and really worried should I consider surgery at this point? What would you recommend for my situation?
I can understand your concern. Surgery is the better option.,it won't shrink on its own. You can use pilex ointment for local application.
