Common Questions and Answers about Nitroglycerin ointment fissure

Avatar n tn I have also been using nitroglycerin ointment for an anal fissure and am wondering if it could be connected to that. We have also started using central heating in the house again so I'm wondering if it's that. It's incredibly distracting and not even the drops are working.
Avatar n tn My advice is keep pushing till someone with a brain understands how painful this can get. At least find a doc who can prescribe some nitroglycerin based ointment, it does wonders for temporary relief!!! If you do engage in anal penetration, I defiantly recommend waiting a good while after the surgery. My gf and I will play with small stuff, but don't risk something like that, it's just not worth it!
Avatar n tn s I have had an anal fissure for about 3 years, I have had success with nifedipine 0.2% ointment. I will use the cream and it heals the fissure 90%, I say 90% because even when I am using the nifedipine ointment I still have some pain on certain days (when I have the occasional bout of diarrhea or I have mutiple bowel movements in one day) When I stop using the nifedipine ointment all together the fissure will come back and hurt me. My question is...

Nitroglycerin cream can reduce the pressure in the internal anal muscle and allow the fissure to heal. Use it as prescribed by your doctor since this can cause side effects such as headaches, lightheadedness, or fainting from low blood pressure. Try to wear gloves when applying the nitroglycerin cream or wash your hands right after.
Avatar n tn Hello, It looks like an anal fissure. An anal fissure is a split in the anal skin and it feels like being cut with glass when you have your bowels open and afterwards. In that case, take warm sitz baths, smear some painkilling gel around the area and avoid constipation. If the symptoms persist then glyceryl trinitrate ointment, Botox injections and surgery can be tried after consulting a surgeon.
Avatar f tn The dr first had me use nitroglycerin, now I am on Diltiazem ointment. The rectocele is fairly bad. The worst part is the anal fissures and most of all the Levator/Pelvic Floor dysfunction. Supposedly the therapist is very well trained in it. This is the only area of therapy she does. I appreciate you answering me. I had to go back to work today because I have been off so long and my job is not being very understandable and I can't afford to not work since I am a single mom with 2 kids.

Avatar f tn I have been dealing with a chronic fissure for quite some time. I don't have sex very often because I don't want to be fooled with but I did give in and have vaginal sex the other night and the next morning I had blood and it really hurts again. The fissure is located anterior. Could the sex have irritated the fissure?
Avatar n tn A month later, I was still bleeding when I had a bowel movement. I was prescribed an ointment mixture of Lidocaine and nifedipine to apply to the fissure every day. I know you aren't supposed to strain to go to the bathroom when you have a fissure, but due to constipation problems I had when i was a kid, i pretty much have to strain every time i go to the bathroom. I'm sort of desensitized to the feeling of having to go to the bathroom.
Avatar m tn He pulled my buttock apart and said oh my you have two large fissures. Prescribed nitroglycerin ointment 3 times a day. I tried to apply but I guess the pain and my fingers were too big. Went back to surgeon a couple of days later and told him to skip all and do surgery. He said no the pain and recovery wad too much and too long. So he said plan B is now in place. I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow.
Avatar n tn I have had an anal fissure for over a year as well as an internal hemroid. The severity of the symptoms fluctuates but can get vey painful. i take miralax, sitz baths and eat well and excercise. Are there other treatments i should try or things to do to relieve the pain? i have another doctors appointment next week but am looking for something in the interim so that i can go about my dialy life.
Avatar m tn These treatments reduce the blood supply to the hemorrhoids so that they shrink or go away. For anal fissure a 0.2% nitroglycerin cream can reduce the pressure in the internal anal muscle and allow the fissure to heal. Use of calcium channel blockers may help healing by reducing the pressure in the internal anal sphincter. Consult a surgeon and do keep us posted on how you are doing. Take care and kind regards!

Avatar f tn I have internal and external hemmoroids plus skin tags in addition to the fissure. I have blood with the first motion each morning because for some reason the first motion is hard. The second motion is always softer and the blood is not there or there is very little. The first motion always sets the pace for the day. My diet is good I feel but I really wish I could get the first motion softer so I could possibly allieviate this issue. Maybe you have a suggestion.
Avatar m tn Hi i suffer from an anal fissure as well, how you treatment come out after this many years, I feel you because I can’t have sex at the moment due to this fissure how long it takes to anal fissure to heal and Can I go back to my sex life again ?
Avatar f tn sounds a lot more like an anal fissure. Not an emergency but basically like a little tear near your anus. Just talk to the dr at your next appt about it. Sometimes they prescribe ointment or miralax to make the stools softer so the fissure has time to heal.
Avatar m tn So, before you put on the gel, put some cortisone-type ointment and/or neosporin ointment from the drugstore on there, it heals up stuff like that.
572651 tn?1530999357 I have nitroquik - sublingual nitroglycerin - to take if I have angina pains - this morning about 5 am I was miserable and couldn't tell if it was heart or ms symptoms and I took one. As always it stopped my discomfort, depressed my already low blood pressure and I went to sleep for about 3 hours. I've used nitroquik for the past 3 months or so and it always stops the pain and gives me relief within minutes.
Avatar m tn Hi there, I'm a 37 year old male. I am on quite a lot of psychotropic medications to handle mood disorders and such. Last October I noticed blood on the paper after a BM. This wasn't shocking as it had happened before and just went away. This time, while the blood did go away (only to come back every so often) there was a terrible pain. Really, it's almost indescribable. I toughed that out for a month. It turned out to be a fissure.
Avatar m tn My doctor told me that i have a unhealing anal fissure and that i should take more fiber and drink more water to help with this. THese have been helping a lot however I have a lot of itching. Itching is there 24/7 My doctor tested me for the pinworm exam and nothing was found and is now confused to what the itching it about. So far he has asked me to ignore it and not do anything but this is really killing me. Can you provide suggestions to what i can to do to help me?
