Hi doctor, I’m from India and dental surgeon myself, I never had major constipation issues but 6 weeks back that one poop changed my entire anal story, the pain was terrific and literally felt like pooping mini glass particles, so I visited gastroenterologist and he did the finger examination and figured out that I’ve haemorrhoids and fissure both, he suggested me fiber supplement, stool softener, anovate cream available in India which is combination of beclomethasone, phenylephrine and lidocaine and antibiotics for few days, and ofcourse asked me to do sitz bath 2 times a day ( I do 3 times), in my journey I’ve seen all your and other videos related to it, even surgery videos on YouTube, have read medical textbooks and even research papers related to it. Till 1.5 weeks from today I used to have pain while bowel movement, sometimes not able to poop enough or some days constant urge of pooping, I was literally exhausted and fed up of it and was begging to god why me? But what I did along with it is I restricted myself completely from refined flour, spices, oil and drank 4-6 liters of water everyday and 2km walk post dinner. Trust me the things are now working very well with me, at point I was thinking of undergoing surgery but now I’m able to poop within 5-10 mins with semi solid texture and with no pain, although slight discomfort is still there and I always apply cream there, and I’m very particular about what I’m doing and will continue to do it for next 2. Months at least, still I don’t know whether I’ll be able pass this thing but currently I’ve no pain while pooping and not later on as well, to all the affected people reading this comment I know what you’re going through but trust me you need that fighting spirit in you to defeat it and one thing I do while pooping is breathing exercise, I inhale deep breaths and exhale it, it helps to relax your constricted muscle down there and widens up your anal canal which allows your poop to get out without causing much friction. And just don’t care about whether it’s acute or chronic, surgery is last resort always, find measures to get rid of your constipation, do yoga if it helps you, soft poop is your best friend. And internal anal sphincter is your enemy. Thanks doctor chung your videos helped me in developing my mindset and allowed me to ask detailed questions to my gastroenterologist. Take care and I’ll win over it very soon

I’m so glad (not glad we’re in pain ) to see that I’m not alone on this and thankful to see others sharing their story this channel is the only place I can find comfort and peace knowing it will be okay and to stay strong and keep going with our strict routine to heal!! Sitz bath are my number one pain relief, along with triticum vulgare cream and relaxation /meditation. Or even Meloxicam for muscle stiffness which can help you relax

Dr Chang You Got an Oscar from me&all who follow you. I wish you Health.

[HyperTeve]

Just dealt with this and the remedy is
1. eat fruits and pasta evryday
2. after using the stool take warm bath to soak the bum
3. after showering take triple antibiotics cream and massage on the wound and around the area. same thing with Vaseline.
4. try to use the still at least once a day ( i know it hurts but i was there too) even if you see blood.
5. continue the diet until stool is soft when coming out and the wound is healed

Thank you for these videos. I had this issue for almost two decades after childbirth and was always just brushed off when I brought it up with my doctors. No one ever even tried to address it. They just acted like it was nothing.

[kathcares]

Your videos always brighten my day, Dr. Chung! The positive attitude that you display is also important in healing, for the patient and the doctor. Congratulations on developing a successful method for curing anal fissures! It's almost unheard of that a surgeon would find a way to avoid performing surgery. Just shows how much you care about your patients!

[EBlack]

Thank you for enlightening me on sentinel piles! I thought it was a residual from hemorrhoids. I have had what I now know to be an anal fissure for 2.5 years now. After a year, I went to my PHP and after two years, I agreed to see a Gen surgeon. Both said everything looked “fine” externally, which left me amazed at what the average person must look like! I see you have a whole video focused on this issue so about to check it out now. Thanks again for this awesome content!

It took me 7 years to heal my fissure. My first doctor took 2 years to diagnose it!!! The specialist gave me creams for a year with no change. The next one told me about diet and stool softners. Then, I learned about combining lactulose, stool softners, and diet. I can't believe that it took so long, but I'm alive!!! Each doctor reassured me that the treatment would work, but everyone is different. As long as I don't chow down on tons of steaks and burgers in a single day or two, I'm good!

[vasquez]

guys, i went through this a few months ago. i just wanna say i feel you and you got this <3 it’s sounds silly and it’s very embarrassing but it’s no joookee. i fixed it through hemorrhoidal pads w/ spraying dermoplast on it. my mom did the same after giving birth. i didn’t see a doctor tho bc of the dehumanizing experience let alone my butthole being looked at (whatever it was either hemorrhoid or fissure, it was internal…) also force yourself to LOTS drink water to soften stool as well as giving it the right elasticity it needs to stretch easily and eat INSOLUBLE FIBER!!! it takes a few weeks for it’s to stop but yes sphincter tightness can occur/reoccur from hard stools (dehydration, constipation, processed foods) and the initial injury itself. be patient, and don’t push!!😂❤️ let it come out at its own rate. 🙏🏽

I am a young person, only 16, I used to have such a bad diet because I never really cared about my health since I was in depression. But literally , if I could turn back time I would go back to the day I didn't poop for 2 days and when I did, I cut myself. That cut hasn't healed for 4-5 months. Sometimes it just goes away or doesn't feel like anything but yesterday, I travelled for 15 hours and didn't drink enough water because the bathroom wasn't guaranteed. And here I am, had a very hard poop, reopened my almost healed anal fissure and am in pain. There wasn't any blood but yeah... I really hope I can pass this living hell. I envy everyone who is able to go and poop like it's nothing. While I have to think and reassure myself several times while pooping that I'll be okay.

As much as I appreciate his videos and education, I recommend seeing a Proctologist in person rather than spending $250 for a video consultation. Dr. Chung after seeing a photo taken of my issue recommended a Hemorrhoidectomy via video conference rather than any conservative treatment. That it would not help me...said I had grade 4 from the photo taken after I went to the restroom which I told him. I ended up seeing another proctologist, received Sclerotherapy and am in no more pain and my internal hem does not prolapse after going to the bathroom. Dr. Chung, I recommend you see a patient in person and truly look at other options that may work or give someone needed relief. If I can get needed relief for 6 to 12 months from sclerotherapy, and not have to go through HELL from a hemorrhoidectomy, I choose Sclerotherapy, IMO.

[tonyamaltseva]

Doctor! You give me hope! Thank you so much!!!!

[nregulaa]

Hi Dr Albert ☺️ after seeing my doctor and finding out I had a fissure, I had been struggling for a while and was in constant pain. After finding your videos, I learnt more about fissures, and you have certainly guided me learning more about fissures and have given such valuable information. Thank you very much 🙂

[awsome]

Your attitude and knowledge have helped me greatly in my journey.

[RowdyRide]

I've had this going on for 2-3 years... I just want it to end...

[dogsareprecious]

I wish my doctors had your sense of humor ! 😄 I'm HOPING I won't need another surgery, so I'm going
to try your cream.

[leosheremet]

Doctor. You are the best. Thanks for your helping people.
