Question

I've had painful anal fissures and piles for the last six months and it's really bothering me. Can you suggest some treatment options that don't involve surgery? I'm worried about the discomfort and want to know what else might help.

Anal fissures often heal within a few weeks with appropriate home treatment. Take steps to keep the stool soft, such as increasing your intake of fiber and fluids. Soak in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes several times a day, especially after bowel movements. This can help relax the sphincter and promote healing
