At Dubai Proctology, our specialists understand that seeking alternative therapies for the healing of an anal fissure is a personal choice.   While surgery remains the gold-standard treatment option, there are several lifestyle changes and natural remedies one can consider to help support their recovery.   Dietary modifications such as increasing fiber intake or adding more probiotic foods in order to promote healthy digestion may be beneficial alongside topical creams which contain either nitroglycerin or lidocaine to alleviate pain.   Additionally, hydrotherapy with warm baths has been known to improve symptoms associated with anal fissures. Ultimately, it is important to discuss any questions or concerns you have regarding these treatments with your proctologist prior to starting them.
