Welcome to EmpowHER. It's best to speak to your doctor first. He might suggest taking a regular fiber supplement will help keep your stool soft and easier to pass, to avoid further irritation of the fissure. Applying nitroglycerin ointment to the anus widens blood vessels and increases blood flow to the fissure, promoting healing. This therapy also helps reduce pressure in the anal sphincter, which eases the spasm and decreases pain.
