Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 For those of you that have anal fissures with your vuvladynia--- how on earth did you get them to heal? I have tried everything. Been to the doc a few times. I get it healed and then it just reopens! Using metamucil/hydrocortisone/stool softener and lots of water. Thanks, Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 How about just some Golden Seal or St. swort/Calendula salve from the health food store - better than pharmacuedicals, in my opinion. Also, for me they are caused by scratching, mostly at night - is that what yours are from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine came just after trying birth control pills for a hormone imbalance---along with a nice flare of yeast! Makes me wonder if the two are connected some how. I got constipated from them. Golden Seal sounds good and so does the Calendula--I think I will mix them both together and give it a shot! I know that they have Calendula salves for baby's bottoms. Thanks for the ideas! Tired of trying the chemical approach! How long did it take for yours to heal each time? I may not be giving mine long enough to heal before stopping the treatment--this time I will go quite a while past the symptoms clearing up.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 hey Lynn - I usually catch them right at the begining because I rinse my vagina w/water after peeing and when I have even the slightest beginning of a fissure, it burns like hell. Usually from that point if I use the golden seal salve it goes away within 3-5 days. If you do not catch it so early (as occasionally I donnot) it could take up to several weeks. Also helpful is trying to keep your stools (shit) as soft as possible with LOTS of fluids (water's the best!) about a gallon a day and lots of fruits and vegetables . .. . .good luck, jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
