Diltiazem

Q. Does Diltiact Gel cure anal fissures?

No, it does not cure fissures but Diltiact Gel reduces inflammation of mucous membrane and skin. It reduces irritation, alleviates pain and itching, thus providing relief from symptoms.

Q. Why is my fissure not healing?

Fissures usually heal within a few weeks. But if they do not, this is because the oxygen supply, carried by the blood, to these fissures is poor which further slows down the healing process. As a result, these fissures fail to heal and continue to get worse. You should consult a doctor immediately if you have been facing issues for a duration longer than a few weeks.

Q. What should I eat and avoid in fissure?

You must take a fiber-rich diet such as vegetables, fresh fruits and whole grains if you have fissures. Drink plenty of water and avoid taking alcohol. This will help ensure that your stools are soft and easy to pass. You may also take laxatives or fiber supplements if you are facing issues with digestion. Your doctor will suggest ways to avoid constipation and thereby promote healing of fissures.
