Suggest Remedy For Mucus Discharge During Anal Fissure
My wife has an anal fissure which we are treating with sitz baths, high fiber diet, and stool softener (it was her forcing stool that caused it). She has a clear mucous discharge that occurs over the course of the day. Otherwise, she is content with her condition. How long will that last and is there anything that can be cone about it?

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear mucous discharge may be due to fissure or hemorrhods or infection.
Inflammatory bowel disease, dysentery may present like this.
it may vary to cure fissure 2-8weeks. Avoid spicy food and fatty food. Use diltiazem gel for local application.
If not relieved with medication she may need local botulinum injection or lateral sphincterotomy surgery.
please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
