Question : A few months, I ate some fast food, and had a large bowl movement. After that I began to experience pain near my anus and little bit of blood on toilet paper. The pain was really serve for the first month and occurred throughout the day, then subsided to only bowel movements. I had a colonoscopy done but they didn't find anything. I usually experience the pain in the morning when I have my first bowel movement, as soon as stand up from the bowel movement I have a shooting pain in my anus, then fades quickly after a few minutes. Im not sure it might be anal fissure, if it is how can I heal the anal fissure.

Anal fissure

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

This sound very much like anal fissure.
For relief you can do the following -

1. High fiber diet
2. Plenty of fluids
3. Fiber supplements and stool softeners
4. Sitz Bath - Sit in a tub of lukewarm water exposing your lower part to it 10 minutes 2-3 times a day
5. Topical lignocaine to relieve pain
6. Topical diltiact or nifedipine to relax the anal sphincter.

I hope that answers your query.

Brief Answer:
Anal fissure heals by itself if the bowel movements are normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Anal fissure heals by itself like any other wound in the body.
For the healing to occur, the bowel movements should be normal and the stool should be soft. And the advice I gave in the previous post is to make the stools soft and make the bowel movements easier.
