Common Questions and Answers about Nitroglycerin ointment for fissures

Avatar m tn What would happen if you rubbed pure nitroglycerin on your skin? I'd like to know the symptoms on and below the skin. I know that nitroglycerin is used for anginas, but I also know that it's generally mixed with something else, so I'm curious about how well pure nitroglycerin would work and what it would do. And if you had a vial of pure nitroglycerin, what could you mix it with to be able to use it as ointment?
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 n tn s possible that the fissure did not heal completely, or that it was reopened during sex. Surgery for anal fissures will not prevent you from having anal sex. You will just need to give your body plenty of time to heal beforehand. Afterwards, you will have to make sure you use plenty of lubrication, and avoid any type of play that involves "stretching" (large toys, etc).

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 f tn Also, you might find zinc oxide ointment or the baby diaper ointment that has like forty percent zinc oxide in it soothing and helpful.
Avatar f tn ve been dealing with a difficult, painful and embarrassing problem for more than a year. I was told that I have anal fissures over a year ago but the topical ointment was useless. I took the alternative measures of the sitz baths and while it feels better for a time, the next painful bowel movement just swings me right back to the beginning. I've also noticed a terrible odour that is accompanied by a slight moisture settling around the anal area.
Avatar n tn I was diagnose with clogged arteries over a year ago. I even had a stent put in because one of my arteries was ecluded. I still had stable angina every time I did some for of cardio activity or is I ate something with sodium. I started using Nitroglycerin patches and even have the pills just in case my angina episode occurs. I had a date and I read online that you can't take viagra and any nitrates cause it can drop your blood pressure really low.
Avatar m tn Nearly 3 years back I started having lot of itching in my anus, as a result started bleeding a little while passing. I went for a colonoscopy which confirmed small anal fissures. My gastroenterologist said nothing serious to worry about and gave some ointments and pain killers expecting it will go. Though the pain and itching subsided, while whipping with toilet papers, sometimes I noticed blood and pain, but I no longer bleed these days.
Avatar f tn The areas around my anus have been really itchy and started flaking. And the skin starts cracking and breaking, resulting in little fissures all over that bleeds. I've been told that it is a fungal infection, so I've been applying clotrimazole for almost a month, emptying the ointment and still I see no improvements. It gets really intense at night and the itch worsens, along with the flaking and the more I scratch, the more fissures form.
572651 tn?1530999357 My bp is also low - averages 90/60 but the nitro is for the angina which is not bp related. I find it really knocks me out for a while after I get over the headache ..... If my pain is really MS related and not cardio related, I'm wondering what the nitro is really doing.............

Avatar n tn This eventually went away but the pain in my recrum continued. The doctor originally told me I had two fissures, but those have since healed and the constant sensation remains. I still have the pain today, almost a year later, although it is slightly better. It feels as if something is constantly up my butt on the left side. I always have a pressure feeling inside like I need to release gas or go the bathroom, but it is just a ghost feeling.
Avatar f tn I am female and every once in a while I get this round, red welt around my anus that is painful. I tried to keep tabs on what I ate that day to see if anything sets if off. Usually using a diaper rash ointment on it overnight relieves it, but since it is symmetrical I don't think it is considered a rash. Could it mean more of a problem or just try it as I am.
Avatar f tn when u have a lower rash on your butt ive been having it for 2days now. it dosent itch but its there. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/374277'>Skin Rash in Upper Inner Thighs, Lower Butt, Upper Butt and Under Stomach</a>.
Avatar m tn Nitrate Medications for heart disease - The combination of vitamin C with nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, or isosorbide mononitrate reduces the occurrence of nitrate tolerance. Nitrate tolerance is when the body builds up a tolerance to the medicine so that it no longer has its desired effect. People taking nitrate-containing medications generally follow a 12 hours on, 12 hours off schedule to avoid this tolerance.
Avatar n tn Hello, Causes of itchy anal rash include moisture(due to sweating or frequent washing), the abrasion caused by clothing, the pressure of sitting, chemical irritants like laundry soaps, colognes and scented toilet paper, certain food irritants, medicines like some antibiotics and laxatives, infections like STD’s and pinworms, anal abrasions and fissures and skin problems such as psoriasis, seborrhea and eczema. Sometimes hemorrhoids will start off as red rash and anal itching.
Avatar m tn On a separate note, I suffered from anal fissures for 3 years, horrendously painful, like someone shoving a knife up your bum ever time you go for a poo - **** the GTN, go for the diltiazem hydrochloride 2%. I mean, it didn't work for me overall and rid me of the fissures but my bum was very tight and needed surgery. Just don't suffer with it! And also if it happened as a result of anal sex don't beat yourself up about it, no matter what your past you have a spotless future.
725248 tn?1316162245 I hope this is not too graphic, but I now know what pregnant women feel like, then only problem for me is it causes anal fissures and they hurt worse then my back and nothing takes the pain away, the only thing that remotely helps the pain is a product called Nitro-bid, its a nitroglycerin ointment, its main use is for heart patients and it has a read bad side effect, it causes intense headaches. This back pain sure is a pain in my butt....
Avatar f tn doctor prescribed steroid ointment for fissures which i dont understand as i thought it thins the skin even more? The sexual health doctor did say that it could be from the constant mositure from the discharge, but im just so sick of living with these symptoms. Can anyone offer advice on cream/ointment to help the area heal. The gyno said there was some thickened skin around the area, Im so sick of being at the doctors all the time to no avail. Can anyone help me????
