No, Nitrogesic Rectal Ointment does not cure fissures. It reduces inflammation of mucous membrane and skin. It also helps to reduce irritation, pain and itching associated with anal fissures, thus providing symptomatic relief.
Fissures usually heal within a few weeks. But if your fissures do not improve then this could be due to the poor oxygen supply to the area being treated 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.
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 ensure that your stools are soft and easy to pass. You can 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.
No, spicy foods do not cause fissures. But, they can irritate the fissures and worsen your symptoms. Therefore, it is advised that you avoid taking spicy foods if you are facing issues with your fissures.
