I first had an anal fissure and hemorrhoids about 6 monthsago. I tried every over the countermedication I could find, I increased my fiber and water intake, used stoolsofteners and suppositories, took sitz baths, but nothing worked. It was painful to sit, to walk, and difficultto sleep through the pain. It was sopainful that I finally went to the doctor. She prescribed nitroglycerin 0.2% ointment. It is supposed to relax the sphincter musclesto allow the anus to heal. It helpedwith the pain and it seemed to be working. After about a month, I felt much better, but still had some flare upsand a bit of pain. It seemed likeeverything was going well until 3 months later when it all started upagain: pain, bleeding, etc. It was so bad, I thought about having surgery. But, I did more research on the internet andcame across some “cures” for anal fissures and hemorrhoids. I put it all together and decided to try itout. There are 6 main components to mycure. Three herbs: Aloe Vera – 470mg capsules, Butcher’s Broom –470mg capsules, Horse Chestnut extract – 300mg caplets, witch hazel wipes (helpswith cleansing and pain), a lubricant, and stool softeners. In the beginning, I took each herb 3 times aday (a total of 9 capsules). Then afteronly 3 to 4 days, I felt so much better. After 2 weeks, I felt like my old self again. I no longer use the lubricant when having aBM. There is no more pain even after adifficult BM (although I try to be careful and still use suppositories if I amhaving hard stools). The herbs listedabove help shrink veins and promote healing. I paid about $20 for all three and it was well worth it. I never want to go through that again. I have been taking the herbs for about amonth now and still feel great. I onlytake 1 capsule each per day now and will probably stop in another month. Hope this helps. Good luck!
