I delivered 6weeks back and have been on a high protein + ajwain water/
panjiri laddoo etc. this has led to constipation and very painful anal fissures. I have moved to a high fiber diet now, am taking isabgol twice a day and am avoiding non-veg and dry fruits. are there any other changes you would recommend?

Question

Accepted Answer

thank you all for your suggestions! made changes to diet for a few days (no non veg, no dry fruits, lots of salads & fruits) + one tablet & one ointment to relax muscles in the area, dahi and yakult or other probiotic to soften stools....did the trick!

You should take sitz bath twice everyday and then apply Lox jelly 2% before and after going to loo. This gives much relief. If it's the beginning , I would suggest you to start homeopathic treatment and you will be completely cured. I too faced this problem but got to know later and now I have to undergo surgery this week only.

my doc suggested me lacfree syrup...it results in motion to go more in liquid form....due to which fissures do not stretch and heal faster...moreover i was adviced an oral cream that dry fussure easily.
try taking lots of water....and ajwain water is ok....good for digestion....
