Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Annal fissures are initially treated conservatively with home remedies and OTC products by:adding bulk to the stool,softening the stool,consuming a high fiber diet,utilizing sitz baths.
Prescription drugs used to treat anal fissures that fail to heal with less conservative treatment include:
ointments containing anesthetics,
steroids,
nitroglycerin, and
calcium channel blocking drugs (CCBs).
Surgery by lateral sphincterotomy is the gold standard for curing,

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
