Hey doctor. I just saw my surgeon from my previous rectal surgery (fistula, fissure and hemrroids). He said I have a small superficial fissure. It bled last night. Previous it had bled 3 days ago then 6 days ago. But it was itchy yesterday before it bled. Do you think even though it bled it would heal quicker this time around? What are your thoughts on supplements that are supposed to quicken wound healing? I started to take those since I have a trip in 18 days and I'm desperately trying to close it up before then. (Been eating lentils every night 🤮)
I faced the same. After battling 12-13 days the fissure, I thought, healed. Again after 10 days all of certain I saw the same pain and blood. OMG. Again I am battling with the same medicine and techniques. Thank you Dr. I thought I am alone in this journey. Just a question. The whole cycle is almost 5 weeks old. Will it turn into chronic if not healed within a week?
WOW this guy is the only person on the internet who has uploaded such content, you can pay a billion dollars to another doctor and he would never explain all of this.
I had a severe fissure for 12 years. It came about while I was pregnant and suffering from severe constipation. I also developed huge skin tags several times and had to have them removed. My colorectal doctor wasn’t the best. She offered me some weird cream that didn’t do a thing. My health insurance sucks, so I couldn’t afford the surgery to get Botox or the LIS procedure. A few years ago I read an article that talked about how to cure a chronic anal fissure. For many years I had taken Miralax and stool softeners to keep my stool soft. I had soft watery stool for years and I still had issues with my fissure. All of this caused my bum hole to shrink down and not be sufficient to having a normal bowl movement. The poop would get stuck, I would push more and the fissure would open back up again. In the article I mentioned, talked about this and the solution was to increase the size of my bum hole. About two years ago I started the dilation process to widen my bum hold. I just use my finger and dilate my bum 10 minutes a day while I’m taking a bath. Along with this, I take a tablespoon of miralax, one stool softener and a teaspoon of psyllium husk in a glass of water. I’ve done this every single day for the last two years and I no longer have a fissure. No bleeding, or fear of pooping or trips to the doctor. My fissure was so so painful and it was honestly making me extremely depressed. I’m so happy I found that article and kept up with my self healing. I told my doctor about what I was doing and she didn’t seem to think it was anything special. I hope someone reads this posts and takes my advice. It was life changing to get rid of my fissure.
Having this issue for past 3years. What in found is western style toilet cause major issue related to bottom. Squat toilet are best. Never heard any asian friends having this issue using squat toilet.
How exactly did you dilate it ? Like how far should you put the finger, which finger and which motion, also do you have to do it in a bath at all times? Is this temporary or permanent
@lucy i am having the same problems that you were going through. This Monday i am going to get my sentinel tag removed. I take restoralax and psyllium husk but i have no relief. Fissure keeps coming back.
I think about ending my life because of the anal spasms that occur after the BM.. it’s 10x more painful than having a BM with the fissure. Do u get sphincter spasms?
The last 7 weeks have been insane. I’m 52 and am dealing with this for the first time at a severe level. I’ve been very depressed with the progress and this video especially has been very helpful. Thank you for your time in making these.
@@Luvrenebebe Marginally. Thanks for asking. Turned out that I have prostate issues as well and the two conditions seem to be fanning the flames of the other. Both are in the same part of the body but different specialists are involved for each. The prostate is improving more but the hemorrhoids are only marginally improved. I don’t think I have fissures any more though. So some positive news. I still fear going #2, but it’s not been as bad as it was a month ago.
Waoo this man deserves a lot.i m suffering from fissure recently and my doctor suggested me a surgery.but I don't want to get into the surgery process.in a very dilemma n watching this right now.i got confidence to heal my fissure without operation n with regular exercise n other medicines
After 2 surgeries and over a year. I feel defeated. Dr. Told me they won’t do another surgery and hopefully it heals on it’s own. Im so depressed that this chronic pain is interrupting my quality of life everyday. It gives me no hope for the future. How are we doing face transplants, reattaching limbs, curing cancers and making hiv undetectable but I cant get a cut in my ass to heal.
@@dlalleman3874I have scar tissue which starts pain and sometimes bleed when I get little hard poop...how can I get completely rid of this scar tissue..I had surgery around 10 months ago for hemmaroids and fissure but still it hurts on the scar tissue when the hard stool comes... please help me 😢
This video about anal fissures really just gave me solid life advice on the healing process not being linear and that being OK. 🤯 Also, anyone would be so lucky to have this guy as their proctologist! These issues can be embarrassing to talk about but he has a way of taking any shame out of it.
I had both external and internal hemorrhoid surgery done. Surprisingly, almost 10 hours have passed, and I haven't experienced any pain yet. Thank God. I've read many stories about pain, but for me, it's been good so far. I took one pain medicine tablet while typing this comment. I'll provide more updates later. Thank you all.
@@coolsid04 - Post-surgery, the first week was excruciatingly painful. My pain began on the second day and persisted for the following seven days. However, I found relief through a combination of medication and sitz baths. Sitting in a bathtub filled with hot water for 30 minutes provided significant relief. Today, after seven weeks, I feel remarkably better. The days of pain are behind me, and I feel rejuvenated, embracing every moment of my new lease on life. If you're experiencing hemorrhoid pain, I highly recommend consulting a doctor and following their advice. Thank you all for reading.

I have been bleeding off and on with an bad anal fissure tear for over a year that just wasn’t getting better. I had a sphincterotomy sept 14th for fissure tear. 7 days later emergency surgery to cut an abscess to the left of my anus! Not sure what happened! 😭😭😭 it’s was horrific. I am traumatized to say the least. It has been 3 weeks since the fissure surgery and my lower back started hurting last night and I just didn’t feel right down there. I woke up to go potty and there was the bleeding again. And a little stinging. I could use some encouraging words, that this is part of the healing process. Tonight I watched your video and I honestly think if I had not of watched this I would have given up the desire to live. Anita (57 year old mom/grandmother)
I keep watching this video on and on, cause it so much gives hope for us suffering this thing! Especially huge THANK YOU for sharing with us that you yourself are one of us! So much appreciate your sincerity!!! Thank you so much!!!! May God cure us all!!!!
Literally the first Doctor to ever explain in depth the process of why this fissure issue continues to torment me (and so many others). I can’t believe how lucky I am to finally have found this channel, after YEARS of researching around the internet searching for information that could be of help … and here it is!!! I am finally am not empty handed!!! I have so much mental relief knowing this information is finally out there for people suffering with such an unfortunate issue and is being thoroughly discussed by a true knowledgeable professional. Thank you SOOOO much for sharing and educating people about this issue. Ps to all out there- the yoga pose “puppy posture” in combination with the specific anal area exercise Dr. Chung has recommended in another video is extremely relieving. Watch that video of his and look up puppy posture bc it helps take the pressure off that area and provides relatively quick physical relief …. Not sure if you’ve already done videos on positions to rest in to take pressure off the area but I would LOVE a video from you Dr. Chung on positions to alleviate pressure to see what your recommendations are 🙏🏻🧡 happy recovery/healing y’all.
One of the best takeaways from Dr. Chung's video, is that he provides a platform to discuss a topic which is a fierce conversation for many of us, me included, and the other is that you are left consoled knowing you are not the only one going through such crisis.
Ah, what a great video. Thank you. I went through much more sever pain than I could find anywhere on youtube or forums. I managed to heal to full functionality, with soft food and fasting. Now, the blood is there again even though I did everything right. So frustrating. While it was healing I knew I wasn't 100%, but seating and bit extra food did the damage. Hope it won't go sever again. I have overseas trip in two weeks. Gosh
Hello, my name is Anthony please reach back out to me . I’m in Perth Australia. In 2021 I’ve had two surgeries for anal fissure - Botox injection. Recently come back and I’m at a point I can’t walk again. It’s been 2 months and each week pain progressively gets worse. Day one today of pranicura cream burnt like crazy. Please any help would be appreciated
Wow, you just gave me a reason to hope. Believe me when I tell you I had a fissure 20 years ago and now it is back, same pain, same everything. First time I had surgery, nope, not ever doing that again. This time I’m trying to do everything right, the all bran buds, watching what I eat, I have IBS issues, during Covid that got out of hand, pretty sure that’s what brought the fissure back. Thank you for your insight!
Thank you, I tend to think the worst with this condition, and it does make me depressed but hearing your description of the problem has given me reassurance, Thank you Dr.
Try drinking indian mallow... Its botanical name is " Abutilon Indicum " its a kind of spinach take some leaves add water grind it and drink it for 3 days... Also along with it add white pumpkin juice, coconut water, coconut milk, buttermilk... Eat 10 to 15 small onions just fry it little bit then eat it with some rice... Avoid eating spice food, non veg for a while especially chicken, eggs, fish.... Avoid eating wheat items...Drink lot of water eat fruits and vegetables.... Trust me you will feel better... 😊
Thanks for the great explanation, Doctor! You have given me the gift of not freaking out every time my fissure acts up. So fantastic for my mental health! I have been doing Kegels regularly, and I can tell the difference in my bottom end. As everything gets stronger down there, it's easier to pass stools. Things are looking up down there!😂👍
Hi there! Kathy Stroup, I have been searching for kegel exercises for my bottom end, but not satisfying. Could you send me some links of kegel exercises that you are doing. Thank you!
Highly appreciate your kind heart and your informative videos! It's rare to find any proctologist showing so much sympathy and encouragement such like you. Hope that these helpful videos will reach billions of people out there. They will help them a lot. Thank you very much again! 🌷
omg i felt doctor you were talking to me!!! my pain was gone for a week and one day, I all came back again if I work longs hours that's when it comes back. thank you for your videos they are very helpful.
Watching from Europe - Thank you Doctor Chung ! Had a chronic fissure for almost 5 years (it became chronic because I didnt see the proctolog on time) with all its ups and downs. Surgery was last year and horrible pain again in the first days. After a year of peace now it came back and next week I am going to see my Doc to get some Diltiazem creme. This time I am in an early stage and hope to cure it without any surgery.
@@based-24 thanx for answering i wish you a quick recovery , i guessed that whenever you have one fissure the tissue is gonna always be vulnerable and you gonna get fissures again whether treated before with surgery or without 😢😢 , hope we stay strong this is so depressing and agonizing really
CLEAR voice, concise informative. The healing process also helps me understand why other wounds keep opening. Scar tissue does not have flexibility, this many for international adhesions from cysts, too.
I was in a Big life changing exam in my life. And i had this 😥and i was soo dipressed thinking it was very bad thing than this you settled my mind thanks a lot doc !!! IDK how to be thankful for such help 🥺
Thank you so much . I am a doctor from India. I cannot express how grateful I am for your video and your explanations. This has been an immensely helpful demonstration.
Nine weeks after botox injections. Pretty nasty fissure I was fighting for months. Just had a great 4-5 days with no bleeding. Bled on the toilet paper and was automatically crushed by what I was looking at. Automatically feared it was back to square one. On a whim, found this video and I'm sure glad I did.
I had an anal fissure and didn't know it many years ago. I didn't know what was going on. All I knew was that it felt like i was pooping shards of glass every time I went. I can remember the fear of having to poop. I feel bad for those who go through that pain everytime they poop. It's such a horrible feeling. I ate soursop fruit (ordered online) everyday and it really helped.
I just recently got diagnosed with IBS-C and have been dealing with chronic constipation causing an anal fissure to keep coming back. I've been taking stool softeners twice a day and drinking lots of water + applying Aquaphor to the area to help it close/heal. Not sure if this method is mainstream but it's done wonders for me and i don't have severe pain when going to the bathroom anymore- going on 1 month pain-free and I think the fissure is healing.
I am using GTN I received it through the NHS, and it works fantastically. After five weeks, I felt recovered, but the next day, while using the restroom, I noticed it had reopened or hadn’t completely healed. So, I went back, hoping for the best this time.
Ye jo fissure he na bohot hi bhayank bimari hai mujhe bhi fissure huva tha aur jiss jagah par fissure hua tha wo area andar se bohot jyada hard ho gaya tha me bohot pareshan ho gai thi tb Maine Flipkart se pymol + livcon capsule aur manulex churna ka order Kiya aur use continue Kiya 3 mahine me pura complete thik ho gya fir se nahi huva dubara . Best hai..🎉
Thank you... depressing to hear 6 weeks but that makes sense... I likely have broken the same ones over and over for years... I started marking them on a calendar to track. Pretty bummed right about now 😕
Thankful I found your channel. I'm hoping to learn more ways to deal with this---it is SO painful, and I've already had TWO surgeries (back in 2015 and 2016). Now it's SEVEN YEARS later, and wow----it is so painful and I'm terrified to have another (painful !!!) surgery and recovery. I'm going to buy your cream and hope it helps!
Wow! All I can say is you are truly amazing. So informative. I have learned more from you regarding these terrible fishers then I have been the doctors that I’ve been dealing with regarding the issues I’ve been going through. I wish they were as informative, kind, caring and compassionate as you. I wish that you were in my town that I would be able to come and see you. I really hope that you will do videos on specific treatments for anal fissures and what surgeries are available. Thank you so much
Dr. Chung, thank you so much for this video! My fissures have been angry and causing me serious pain with bleeding over the past several months. My doctor put me on Nifedipine 2% 20mg/ml ointment. Been a using since April 12 and it was working and then a set back this weekend. Listening to you speak about fissures gave me a much better understanding of what is going on. Have a good one! And keep sending out RUclips videos your Rocking the subject matter!
Try drinking indian mallow... Its botanical name is " Abutilon Indicum " its a kind of spinach take some leaves add water grind it and drink it for 3 days...

Avoid eating wheat items...Drink lot of water eat fruits and vegetables.... Trust me you will feel better... 😊
I pray to god i pray to god i pray to god that plzz one day doctors could find the permanent cure for anal fissure it’ll be a miracle..instead of focusing on cosmos scientist researchers should focus on things like these and find out the permanent 100% cure and make people like they were before if that happens then i’ll be on heaven for sure..feels like we live in the zone between life and death daily!!!❤️ You’re great doc.Chung!!
This made me feel hopeful! Just had pain again today after almost a month of no pain (thanks to period 💩s) and it's difficult to really believe it's gonna get better. But i know now that less time in between retears is a good sign and if i can go 1 month, then i can go 2, and 3 and so on. This is just a small setback and I've been through worse and can get better! trust the process :)
@@kavitasankar9252 drinking lots of water, chewing really well, not straining, vaseline before bms and just trying to relax as much as possible! Not using any prescription ointment since the doctor i had visited didn't give me any and i can't really go to a new one rn. Sorry to hear that yours is back! I hope you feel better soon and can heal well without issues :)
Fully agree with this Dr.. and also Pulling that area skin up n holding n relasing slowly this technique also helsps a lot. This was told by this same Dr in another video. It really helps

You are amazing Doctor. Thank you so much for sharing the videos. I just bought Pranicura and will try it for my Fissure. I am on Warfarin and I might take longer in healing. Thanks again Dr. I love your posative attitude! I wish all Drs were like you and please keep up your great work!
Aw thank you. I literally had 2 good days with my chronic fissure recently. I got so frustrated when 1 poo seems to mess it up again. 2 1/2 years. Diagnosed with fissure and no follow up. I always wanted them to recheck to see if it was completely healed.
I’ve been dealing with an anal fissure for 3-4 years straight. It comes and goes and nothing has helped me. It literally takes over your life. Morning poops are the worst. I finally somewhat got it under control. I’ve used all the creams available. What I did that finally gave me some hope was using a Qtip and covering it with Rectiv (which is over $600 for a tube) sucks that insurance won’t help with this medication. I also used a small mixture of antibiotic cream. I inserted the qtip to where the cut is and leave it in while I lay and play games or watch tv with half of the qtip still hanging out. I did this for a week or two along with keeping my stools soft with stool softener and finally my fissure slowly was able to heal. No more swollen, burning, painful stools in the morning. I no longer see blood streaks in my stool and the swelling is gone! IM NOT A DOCTOR OR PROFESSIONAL. PLEASE DO NOT DO WHAT I DID. I’m just telling you what I did to help me in my situation. After all these years, I can finally poop with out pain. I’m sure you’re not suppose to put antibiotics creams in your body like that but I DID NOT insert it fully, just enough for the medication to the affected area. It was a very small amount along with Rectiv. Im praying that it stays away. I hope everyone who’s dealing with this issue gets it resolved or somewhat under control. I’ve tried everything to avoid surgery. Peace be with you all. 🙏

Im not gone lie I did something similar to this using the qtip I put Vaseline on it and put it too the cut and it went away then I stop for almost a year and no I been having this throbbing feeling and I seen bleed for the first time since December but I don’t feel the stinging feeling yet soo I’ma just start back putting Vaseline on
What an awesome guy! I felt my stress melt after listening to him. This morning was so bad that I soaked in a magnesium bath! Oh my God what a relief! It got worse after I was eating white flour and cheese. Never again!
I recently had a fissure for 3 months and I experienced the worst pain in my life. I felt better for a few weeks and I was so relieved and happy to be over this debilitating condition. However, much to my disappointment, I am having symptoms again, although there is much less pain. I was wondering why this was happening. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge here. It has helped me a lot in understanding what is going on.

Dear Doctor, thank you for this emancipating video. Extremely helpful. In my case, I tend to get fissures every year in December, and I think it has got to do with the fact that it is winters then and my water consumption drops from anyway low to very very low, like maybe 1 glass of water a day. Which I think causes constipation which then reignites the fissure. Have you heard of/seen such cases of winter fissures?
You know as I am listening to you I want to cry!!!! Cry!!! I got this because I listend to my doctor. I have gallstones and I needed to be in the hospital. I got antibiotics and I got diarea from that for 2 weeks. No one told me that i could get hemmorhoids from this. Finally I told my doctor that is not normal. Finally let me off them. My body got twisted. Had the worst constipation. Had to get hospitalized again for laxtation. Finally cause of all that time and pressure I got a fissure and I feel it in the difference of pain. Now im constantly on pain killers that is how worse the pain is eventhough my stool is soft. Plus rapid weightloss triggers hemmorhoids so I wanna cry. Im a business owner and its suffering because of this. Standing for even 15 minutes is a whole lot of hell no's. Feels like a losing battle
I had the surgery and all was well, BUT the pain is back with a vengeance and fear its reoccured and im in agony! This is hell! On waiting list to see my surgeon. 😢
I was actually looking the anal fissure problem up because my dog had them bad unbeknownst to me. But vet said they were bad probably from the diarrhea he has been batteling due to lack of pancreatic enzymes. Heads up to all you German Shepherd owners. I just wanted to say I admire the way you present things and put things into a perspective for your viewers. You are one of those medical people who remind others( like my sister does) that we all live in a meat sack we are all human and sometimes the body fails us. Kudos to you Dr. And I guess those fissures are painful as my dog tried to bite me which he has never done.
The video was great because there was no sugar coating...honesty to next level😊..thank you doctor... But I wanted to know, if we do deadlift or legpress in gym while working out, do they get triggered or is it a myth?
Been suffering for a couple of years however recently if the fissure opens the pain is less and it seems to stop occurring fairly quickly after a few days , sitz bath pan that goes over toilet with the water jet and heated car seats work a treat
I've been dealing with this for 14yrs.. IT WON'T GO AWAY. I'm in soo much pain and no one understands. I've had more surgeries then i can count. At this point I just need help to feel better and nothing Ive tried all these years has helped. I hurt soo much i just want to go inside a rock and hide.
I'm sorry to hear that your fissure hasn't healed. I had an awful anal fissure that constantly bled for years. I tried countless treatments: the creams prescribed by my doctor, metamucil, vitamin E suppositories, hemorrhoid cream, stool softeners, but nothing seemed to work. My fissure is now healed with the following daily treatment : a magnesium tablet 250 mg and a heaping teaspoon of Konsyl fiber mixed with plenty of water. They sell the Konsyl fiber at Walmart. It's a bit expensive but it lasts a long time and it's worth it (so much more effective than metamucil). I hope you give this a try and that it works for you!
Your explanation ( and Freudian slip) of the ups and downs of fissure healing is so helpful! I am wondering if there is a general timeline or minimum fir full healing of a fissure? The info that can with my diltiazam says 2 years.
Thank you so much for the video, but I have questions. Do you recommend prp infection? Is there supplement that can help healing, reduce inflammation 🙏? Thanks 😊
By far your videos are the very best thing I have come across, so I can’t thank you enough. In particular your other video where you recommend against surgery shows you are honest by nature. I was harmed once by a doctor that pushed an unnecessary eye procedure, and that has unfortunately changed my life permanently. So when I watched your video I could tell you are honest, caring, and have the patients’ best interest in mind; and now we all know empathetic from experience as well. I will try to take the small wins. The one thing I would love for you to incorporate into a video is exercise during healing. I used to walk and bike a lot, and now I feel like even short walks are impeding my recovery, so I’ve come to a complete standstill, and that’s not good physically or mentally. Please comment if you have time and thank you again.
Discupla si te molesto, una pregunta. Es o no es bueno cirugia para fisura anal ? Yo la sufro mucho y es muy frustante no estar al 100 % para mis hijos . Gracias .
Dr. Chung, I'm very blessed to hear you. I think the second reason you had told is my issue. I don't know what to do about it. It's healing and returning after a period of time. Doctor tell me what I should really do? 😢 Should I wait or meet a doctor?
Dr. Chung is great. His info has helped. This is also what helped me. 1. Sole type of hemorrhoid ointment. (Dr. Chung’s probably works great. I personally used something else) (ebanel Hemorrhoid treatment ointment) 2. Stopped eating meat for awhile and ate things that created soft stools. (Ezekiel Food for Life cereal, organic oatmeal, lots of hydrating fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads and noodles) 3. Using a suppository before going to bathroom. 4. Herbs (stone root, witch hazel) takes these in whatever for is most comfortable. (Powder form or tablets are great for me). This is great!! Take it! 5. Boroline (I haven’t tried this but I have heard this works wonders for anal fissures. I hope this blesses someone. I pray you will be well and healed!
Can you relate? I can certainly understand your struggles!
Hugs to you, Dr. Chung!🤗
Wow! You are amazing! I have been suffering from anal fissure for more than a year now. You completely explained it.
Hey doctor. I just saw my surgeon from my previous rectal surgery (fistula, fissure and hemrroids). He said I have a small superficial fissure. It bled last night. Previous it had bled 3 days ago then 6 days ago. But it was itchy yesterday before it bled. Do you think even though it bled it would heal quicker this time around? What are your thoughts on supplements that are supposed to quicken wound healing? I started to take those since I have a trip in 18 days and I'm desperately trying to close it up before then. (Been eating lentils every night 🤮)
Thank you for being and showing us your humanness!😊
I faced the same. After battling 12-13 days the fissure, I thought, healed. Again after 10 days all of certain I saw the same pain and blood. OMG. Again I am battling with the same medicine and techniques. Thank you Dr. I thought I am alone in this journey.
Just a question. The whole cycle is almost 5 weeks old. Will it turn into chronic if not healed within a week?
WOW this guy is the only person on the internet who has uploaded such content, you can pay a billion dollars to another doctor and he would never explain all of this.
Of course. I agree with you.
Agreed 👍
Exactly
A billions dollars, huh?
I love Dr. Chung. I wish he was in my state. I am very grateful for all that I learn from you . Thank you for caring about us!🤍
I had a severe fissure for 12 years. It came about while I was pregnant and suffering from severe constipation. I also developed huge skin tags several times and had to have them removed. My colorectal doctor wasn’t the best. She offered me some weird cream that didn’t do a thing. My health insurance sucks, so I couldn’t afford the surgery to get Botox or the LIS procedure. A few years ago I read an article that talked about how to cure a chronic anal fissure. For many years I had taken Miralax and stool softeners to keep my stool soft. I had soft watery stool for years and I still had issues with my fissure. All of this caused my bum hole to shrink down and not be sufficient to having a normal bowl movement. The poop would get stuck, I would push more and the fissure would open back up again. In the article I mentioned, talked about this and the solution was to increase the size of my bum hole. About two years ago I started the dilation process to widen my bum hold. I just use my finger and dilate my bum 10 minutes a day while I’m taking a bath. Along with this, I take a tablespoon of miralax, one stool softener and a teaspoon of psyllium husk in a glass of water. I’ve done this every single day for the last two years and I no longer have a fissure. No bleeding, or fear of pooping or trips to the doctor. My fissure was so so painful and it was honestly making me extremely depressed. I’m so happy I found that article and kept up with my self healing. I told my doctor about what I was doing and she didn’t seem to think it was anything special. I hope someone reads this posts and takes my advice. It was life changing to get rid of my fissure.
Greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge & positive experience with this!
How long it took for fissure to heal after you started dilation intervention. Thanks
Having this issue for past 3years. What in found is western style toilet cause major issue related to bottom. Squat toilet are best. Never heard any asian friends having this issue using squat toilet.
How exactly did you dilate it ? Like how far should you put the finger, which finger and which motion, also do you have to do it in a bath at all times? Is this temporary or permanent
@lucy i am having the same problems that you were going through. This Monday i am going to get my sentinel tag removed. I take restoralax and psyllium husk but i have no relief. Fissure keeps coming back.
Not me looking at this at 3am suffering from anxiety cuz of this fissure pain… this was so comforting doc! Thank you
Am the same had to go back on tablets for anxiety 😢
Your anxiety will stop the healing
@@Sumedhmahadik24 you're right anxiety also affects healing
I couldn’t enjoy my birthday on Wednesday I really tried but my depression and anxiety from this bum fesure was out of control 😢
I’m scared to poop
im so tired of this pain...
i just wanna rest from this.
I think about ending my life because of the anal spasms that occur after the BM.. it’s 10x more painful than having a BM with the fissure.
Do u get sphincter spasms?
I wish all Dr's were as pleasant as Dr Chung.
The last 7 weeks have been insane. I’m 52 and am dealing with this for the first time at a severe level. I’ve been very depressed with the progress and this video especially has been very helpful. Thank you for your time in making these.
Don’t give up, are you better now?
@@Luvrenebebe Marginally. Thanks for asking. Turned out that I have prostate issues as well and the two conditions seem to be fanning the flames of the other. Both are in the same part of the body but different specialists are involved for each. The prostate is improving more but the hemorrhoids are only marginally improved. I don’t think I have fissures any more though. So some positive news. I still fear going #2, but it’s not been as bad as it was a month ago.

Not gonna lie Doctor you seem like a ray of hope to me who is suffering from this madness for almost a year now.
I had chronic problems (over 4 years). Drinking 2-3litres of water a day did the job for me. No creams, meds, surgery etc. Try it out!
It has gone permanently ?
Yes, just drink 3 litres a day and eat healthy.@@mehulsharma7541

NO complaints for the past 4 months. Just drink 3 litres of water a day.@@keyonnasims7935
Thanks I will try this
Waoo this man deserves a lot.i m suffering from fissure recently and my doctor suggested me a surgery.but I don't want to get into the surgery process.in a very dilemma n watching this right now.i got confidence to heal my fissure without operation n with regular exercise n other medicines
How are you now ?
I wish every doctor were exactly like Dr. Chang. What a man!
After 2 surgeries and over a year. I feel defeated. Dr. Told me they won’t do another surgery and hopefully it heals on it’s own. Im so depressed that this chronic pain is interrupting my quality of life everyday. It gives me no hope for the future. How are we doing face transplants, reattaching limbs, curing cancers and making hiv undetectable but I cant get a cut in my ass to heal.
Best wishes to you. sorry to hear this.
How is it now ? Please please update
I hope you got better . I cured mine and I told my bests friend that was going to get surgery and his healed too .

This video about anal fissures really just gave me solid life advice on the healing process not being linear and that being OK. 🤯
Also, anyone would be so lucky to have this guy as their proctologist! These issues can be embarrassing to talk about but he has a way of taking any shame out of it.
Me too! I feel much better about it!
Totally! He's great!
How you feel now
yea fam
I had both external and internal hemorrhoid surgery done. Surprisingly, almost 10 hours have passed, and I haven't experienced any pain yet. Thank God. I've read many stories about pain, but for me, it's been good so far. I took one pain medicine tablet while typing this comment. I'll provide more updates later. Thank you all.
Hope you are better now. Can you give some update about how things are after few days of surgery

God Bless you Dr. You just cured my anxiety surrounding this issue
Dr Chung is the best proctologist in the world thank you so much for giving me hope and confidence again .
I have been bleeding off and on with an bad anal fissure tear for over a year that just wasn’t getting better. I had a sphincterotomy sept 14th for fissure tear. 7 days later emergency surgery to cut an abscess to the left of my anus! Not sure what happened! 😭😭😭 it’s was horrific. I am traumatized to say the least. It has been 3 weeks since the fissure surgery and my lower back started hurting last night and I just didn’t feel right down there. I woke up to go potty and there was the bleeding again. And a little stinging. I could use some encouraging words, that this is part of the healing process. Tonight I watched your video and I honestly think if I had not of watched this I would have given up the desire to live. Anita (57 year old mom/grandmother)
I keep watching this video on and on, cause it so much gives hope for us suffering this thing! Especially huge THANK YOU for sharing with us that you yourself are one of us! So much appreciate your sincerity!!! Thank you so much!!!! May God cure us all!!!!
Literally the first Doctor to ever explain in depth the process of why this fissure issue continues to torment me (and so many others). I can’t believe how lucky I am to finally have found this channel, after YEARS of researching around the internet searching for information that could be of help … and here it is!!! I am finally am not empty handed!!! I have so much mental relief knowing this information is finally out there for people suffering with such an unfortunate issue and is being thoroughly discussed by a true knowledgeable professional. Thank you SOOOO much for sharing and educating people about this issue.
Ps to all out there- the yoga pose “puppy posture” in combination with the specific anal area exercise Dr. Chung has recommended in another video is extremely relieving. Watch that video of his and look up puppy posture bc it helps take the pressure off that area and provides relatively quick physical relief ….
Not sure if you’ve already done videos on positions to rest in to take pressure off the area but I would LOVE a video from you Dr. Chung on positions to alleviate pressure to see what your recommendations are
🙏🏻🧡 happy recovery/healing y’all.
Thank you doc .. No-one actually understand the suffering of their patient this well 🙏🙏🙏
One of the best takeaways from Dr. Chung's video, is that he provides a platform to discuss a topic which is a fierce conversation for many of us, me included, and the other is that you are left consoled knowing you are not the only one going through such crisis.
Ah, what a great video. Thank you.
I went through much more sever pain than I could find anywhere on youtube or forums. I managed to heal to full functionality, with soft food and fasting. Now, the blood is there again even though I did everything right. So frustrating. While it was healing I knew I wasn't 100%, but seating and bit extra food did the damage. Hope it won't go sever again. I have overseas trip in two weeks. Gosh
Hello, my name is Anthony please reach back out to me . I’m in Perth Australia. In 2021 I’ve had two surgeries for anal fissure - Botox injection.
Recently come back and I’m at a point I can’t walk again. It’s been 2 months and each week pain progressively gets worse. Day one today of pranicura cream burnt like crazy. Please any help would be appreciated
Thank you Dr for taking the time to explain this issue calmly and very clearly.
Thanks for your Freudian slip. Don’t worry I’m sure it made us all feel like we can trust you more. Thank you dr. Chung :)
Wow, you just gave me a reason to hope. Believe me when I tell you I had a fissure 20 years ago and now it is back, same pain, same everything. First time I had surgery, nope, not ever doing that again. This time I’m trying to do everything right, the all bran buds, watching what I eat, I have IBS issues, during Covid that got out of hand, pretty sure that’s what brought the fissure back. Thank you for your insight!
Best to you!
I developed my first ever fissure after being extremely ill with Covid. I feel like there could be a link
Me too! Never had one until right after Covid. Curse Covid!!
Did you ever bleed bright red blood?

Avoid eating spice food, non veg for a while especially chicken, eggs, fish.... Avoid eating wheat items...Drink lot of water eat fruits and vegetables.... Trust me you will feel better... 😊
Thank you so much for reducing my stress by telling the right information ❤️
Thanks for the great explanation, Doctor! You have given me the gift of not freaking out every time my fissure acts up. So fantastic for my mental health! I have been doing Kegels regularly, and I can tell the difference in my bottom end. As everything gets stronger down there, it's easier to pass stools. Things are looking up down there!😂👍
Great to hear!
Thank u x

Watching from Europe - Thank you Doctor Chung !
Had a chronic fissure for almost 5 years (it became chronic because I didnt see the proctolog on time) with all its ups and downs. Surgery was last year and horrible pain again in the first days.
After a year of peace now it came back and next week I am going to see my Doc to get some Diltiazem creme. This time I am in an early stage and hope to cure it without any surgery.
Why does it came back ? Are you constipated ?
@@lyda7129 yes and seems like the skin is not so flexible there anymore.
@@based-24 thanx for answering i wish you a quick recovery , i guessed that whenever you have one fissure the tissue is gonna always be vulnerable and you gonna get fissures again whether treated before with surgery or without 😢😢 , hope we stay strong this is so depressing and agonizing really
Gross picture anyway
Hey, I'm in the same position. I had a sphincterotomy 2 years ago and my spasms are coming back. How are you now? Did any cream work?
You are a LEGEND, sir. Thanks for all your kind words and help
CLEAR voice, concise informative. The healing process also helps me understand why other wounds keep opening. Scar tissue does not have flexibility, this many for international adhesions from cysts, too.
I was in a Big life changing exam in my life. And i had this 😥and i was soo dipressed thinking it was very bad thing than this
you settled my mind thanks a lot doc !!!
IDK how to be thankful for such help 🥺
Thank you so much . I am a doctor from India. I cannot express how grateful I am for your video and your explanations. This has been an immensely helpful demonstration.
His headline was answered way almost at the end of the video so much talking I would have loved to immediately hear the response
Thank you for the excellent explanation that I needed for 30 years.
Nine weeks after botox injections. Pretty nasty fissure I was fighting for months. Just had a great 4-5 days with no bleeding. Bled on the toilet paper and was automatically crushed by what I was looking at. Automatically feared it was back to square one. On a whim, found this video and I'm sure glad I did.
I had an anal fissure and didn't know it many years ago. I didn't know what was going on. All I knew was that it felt like i was pooping shards of glass every time I went. I can remember the fear of having to poop. I feel bad for those who go through that pain everytime they poop. It's such a horrible feeling. I ate soursop fruit (ordered online) everyday and it really helped.
So is it healed completely 😊? I am real worried 😢
I just recently got diagnosed with IBS-C and have been dealing with chronic constipation causing an anal fissure to keep coming back. I've been taking stool softeners twice a day and drinking lots of water + applying Aquaphor to the area to help it close/heal. Not sure if this method is mainstream but it's done wonders for me and i don't have severe pain when going to the bathroom anymore- going on 1 month pain-free and I think the fissure is healing.
I wish that my enemy atleast would never have it. 😢
Permanent heal????@@dustfeatherandco
Thanks Dr. Chung for your hopeful words… so it does not mean that a surgery is necessarily required
Wow, you really are the best and know your stuff! I’m really glad I came across this video Thanks for the info :)
I am using GTN I received it through the NHS, and it works fantastically. After five weeks, I felt recovered, but the next day, while using the restroom, I noticed it had reopened or hadn’t completely healed. So, I went back, hoping for the best this time.
You are such a nice person! Yes we are all humans, with our struggles, physical or not. Nothing to get ashamed of.
Thank you!
Thank you so much Dr Chung , your speech changed my perspective towards fissure, God blees you and your family

I’ve been dealing with an anal fissure for 3-4 years straight. It comes and goes and nothing has helped me. It literally takes over your life. Morning poops are the worst. I finally somewhat got it under control. I’ve used all the creams available. What I did that finally gave me some hope was using a Qtip and covering it with Rectiv (which is over $600 for a tube) sucks that insurance won’t help with this medication. I also used a small mixture of antibiotic cream. I inserted the qtip to where the cut is and leave it in while I lay and play games or watch tv with half of the qtip still hanging out. I did this for a week or two along with keeping my stools soft with stool softener and finally my fissure slowly was able to heal. No more swollen, burning, painful stools in the morning. I no longer see blood streaks in my stool and the swelling is gone! IM NOT A DOCTOR OR PROFESSIONAL. PLEASE DO NOT DO WHAT I DID. I’m just telling you what I did to help me in my situation. After all these years, I can finally poop with out pain. I’m sure you’re not suppose to put antibiotics creams in your body like that but I DID NOT insert it fully, just enough for the medication to the affected area. It was a very small amount along with Rectiv. Im praying that it stays away. I hope everyone who’s dealing with this issue gets it resolved or somewhat under control. I’ve tried everything to avoid surgery. Peace be with you all. 🙏

Dear Doctor, thank you for this emancipating video. Extremely helpful.
In my case, I tend to get fissures every year in December, and I think it has got to do with the fact that it is winters then and my water consumption drops from anyway low to very very low, like maybe 1 glass of water a day. Which I think causes constipation which then reignites the fissure. Have you heard of/seen such cases of winter fissures?
Yes! Summer is also popular as well.
True , the same for me
Me too
Me too
Where is your office?
Does taking vitamin c helps with the healing
You know as I am listening to you I want to cry!!!! Cry!!! I got this because I listend to my doctor. I have gallstones and I needed to be in the hospital. I got antibiotics and I got diarea from that for 2 weeks. No one told me that i could get hemmorhoids from this. Finally I told my doctor that is not normal. Finally let me off them. My body got twisted. Had the worst constipation. Had to get hospitalized again for laxtation. Finally cause of all that time and pressure I got a fissure and I feel it in the difference of pain. Now im constantly on pain killers that is how worse the pain is eventhough my stool is soft. Plus rapid weightloss triggers hemmorhoids so I wanna cry. Im a business owner and its suffering because of this. Standing for even 15 minutes is a whole lot of hell no's. Feels like a losing battle
I had the surgery and all was well, BUT the pain is back with a vengeance and fear its reoccured and im in agony! This is hell! On waiting list to see my surgeon. 😢
I was actually looking the anal fissure problem up because my dog had them bad unbeknownst to me. But vet said they were bad probably from the diarrhea he has been batteling due to lack of pancreatic enzymes. Heads up to all you German Shepherd owners. I just wanted to say I admire the way you present things and put things into a perspective for your viewers. You are one of those medical people who remind others( like my sister does) that we all live in a meat sack we are all human and sometimes the body fails us. Kudos to you Dr. And I guess those fissures are painful as my dog tried to bite me which he has never done.
Oh my god this can happen to dogs\animals too?? I feel so bad this is the worse pain
The video was great because there was no sugar coating...honesty to next level😊..thank you doctor...
But I wanted to know, if we do deadlift or legpress in gym while working out, do they get triggered or is it a myth?
Dont strain. Only go when you have to go.
Been suffering for a couple of years however recently if the fissure opens the pain is less and it seems to stop occurring fairly quickly after a few days , sitz bath pan that goes over toilet with the water jet and heated car seats work a treat
I've been dealing with this for 14yrs.. IT WON'T GO AWAY. I'm in soo much pain and no one understands. I've had more surgeries then i can count. At this point I just need help to feel better and nothing Ive tried all these years has helped. I hurt soo much i just want to go inside a rock and hide.
I'm sorry to hear that your fissure hasn't healed. I had an awful anal fissure that constantly bled for years. I tried countless treatments: the creams prescribed by my doctor, metamucil, vitamin E suppositories, hemorrhoid cream, stool softeners, but nothing seemed to work.
My fissure is now healed with the following daily treatment : a magnesium tablet 250 mg and a heaping teaspoon of Konsyl fiber mixed with plenty of water. They sell the Konsyl fiber at Walmart. It's a bit expensive but it lasts a long time and it's worth it (so much more effective than metamucil).
I hope you give this a try and that it works for you!
@@cdemp4795are u still feeling ok?

Your explanation ( and Freudian slip) of the ups and downs of fissure healing is so helpful! I am wondering if there is a general timeline or minimum fir full healing of a fissure? The info that can with my diltiazam says 2 years.
Im so glad it has helped you! Healing time varies which is why it's very frustrating. I've seen fissures heal in 2 weeks!
Thank you so much for the video, but I have questions. Do you recommend prp infection?
Is there supplement that can help healing, reduce inflammation 🙏?
Thanks 😊
By far your videos are the very best thing I have come across, so I can’t thank you enough.
In particular your other video where you recommend against surgery shows you are honest by nature. I was harmed once by a doctor that pushed an unnecessary eye procedure, and that has unfortunately changed my life permanently. So when I watched your video I could tell you are honest, caring, and have the patients’ best interest in mind; and now we all know empathetic from experience as well.
I will try to take the small wins.
The one thing I would love for you to incorporate into a video is exercise during healing. I used to walk and bike a lot, and now I feel like even short walks are impeding my recovery, so I’ve come to a complete standstill, and that’s not good physically or mentally. Please comment if you have time and thank you again.
Thanks for your feedback. The topic has been added to the list. Stay tuned!

1. Sole type of hemorrhoid ointment. (Dr. Chung’s probably works great. I personally used something else) (ebanel Hemorrhoid treatment ointment)
2. Stopped eating meat for awhile and ate things that created soft stools. (Ezekiel Food for Life cereal, organic oatmeal, lots of hydrating fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads and noodles)
3. Using a suppository before going to bathroom.
4. Herbs (stone root, witch hazel) takes these in whatever for is most comfortable. (Powder form or tablets are great for me). This is great!! Take it!
5. Boroline (I haven’t tried this but I have heard this works wonders for anal fissures.
I hope this blesses someone. I pray you will be well and healed!
