Doctors’ responses
1. Your symptoms of repeated urge to pass stool, burning pain, and discomfort suggest a combination of anal fissure irritation and bowel sensitivity (IBS-like features).
2. Even if the stool looks normal, fissure pain and nerve sensitivity can create a false urge to poop multiple times.
3. Creams alone may not fully help if there is ongoing irritation treatment often needs a high fiber diet, plenty of fluids, stool softeners, and sitz baths.
4. Avoid straining, spicy food, caffeine, and irregular eating habits, as these worsen both fissure and IBS symptoms.
5. Since your daily life is getting affected, you should consult a gastroenterologist or colorectal surgeon sometimes minor procedures or advanced medicines give long term relief.
6. Please don’t ignore this with proper care, fissure pain and bowel cycle disturbance usually improve, and you can get back to normal activities.
Can I be normal again ?
Yes, you can become normal again. With proper treatment and lifestyle care fissure pain and bowel issues usually improve. It takes some weeks for healing but recovery is possible. Stay consistent and consult a specialist if symptoms persist.
Hello, You have to take precautions and regular medicines to get relief. Since, you have already visited the surgeon, I suggest you to have an opinion from gastroenterologist.
Lifestyle modifications are must. Take care
Hi Sir,
The cycle you’re facing sounds like a mix of anal fissure pain + IBS hypersensitivity. Fissure pain + IBS urges reinforce each other. Pain makes you strain more, IBS makes you go more often.
For fissure; 1.SITZ BATH 2. Soft stool- keep hydrated 3.Cream Anovate(before and after stool )
For IBS;
Lifestyle changes + stress free + diet control Try a regular routine (pooping at same time daily, morning is best). Track triggers: dairy, spicy/oily food, excess caffeine, anxiety.
Consult a gastroenterologist in person if condition is not subsiding Stay hydrated, healthy. Keep calm ,you’ve got this!!
Hope this settles uour concern Thank you
