What are the medical treatments for Anal Fissures

Category: ANAL FISSURE AND HEMORRHOIDS
  • Prescription creams: Medications like nitroglycerin or calcium channel blockers can relax the anal sphincter muscle to help the fissure heal.
  • Botox injections: A small amount of botulinum toxin can be injected to relax the muscle, promoting healing.
  • Surgery: A surgical procedure called a lateral internal sphincterotomy is highly effective for chronic fissures that don’t respond to other treatments.
