helpFrequently Asked Questions

Does Fidonal Cream cure anal fissures?

expand_more

No, it does not cure fissures but Fidonal Cream reduces inflammation of mucous membrane and skin. It reduces irritation, alleviates pain and itching, thus providing symptomatic relief.

Why is my fissure not healing?

expand_more

Fissures usually heal within a few weeks. But if they are not, this is because the oxygen supply, carried by the blood, to these fissures is poor which further slows down the healing process. As a result, these fissures fail to heal and continue to get worse. You should consult a doctor immediately if you have been facing issues for a duration longer than a few weeks.

What should I eat and avoid in fissure?

expand_more

You must take a fiber-rich diet such as vegetables, fresh fruits and whole grains if you have fissures. Drink plenty of water and avoid taking alcohol. This will ensure that your stools are soft and easy to pass. You may also take laxatives or fiber supplements if you are facing issues with digestion. Your doctor will suggest ways to avoid constipation and thereby promote healing of fissures.
