What is a good cure for an anal fissure?

i changed my diet and i have tried some medications but it seems to be so slow to heal and can reoccure so easily.

The fissure can take several months to completely heal, but with some care you can certainly be more comfortable in a matter of weeks. First of all, I suggest you buy baby wipes or the proper flushable wipes to use for personal cleansing after a trip. It's a lot softer on the personality than dry paper, and makes sure the area gets clean. Since it's formulated for bottoms, it will be kind and gentle, and have add ins to help keep things moist. You can also use the Tucks pads to help soothe the burn, if you need. Those feel most soothing if stored in the fridge between uses, the cold puts out the fire really well. And of course, the last thing you want is to get either constipated or to suffer diarrhea. Neither condition is your friend at this point. So you will need to dedicate yourself to that new diet, and to keeping things on the move. And if you don't want a revisit of this friend, you will need to keep it up, even after it all heals. Or it will come back, trust me. The drinkable fiber mix is one way to add fiber to your diet, as a backup in case you don't get enough veggies, fruit and whole grains in the diet. But truthfully, the best fiber is the kind you eat. And you need to take your time in the little reading room as well- no rushing, and no straining to get things done and over with. Time, patience,a good diet and a few baby wipes are all you really need, and you will heal.
