Severe pain - Anal fissure
Hi. My wife is pregnant 6 months now. She has been suffering a bit with constipation. Whenever she have a bowel movement, she will come out with a severe pain at the anal area. We are suspecting this could be anal fissure. This has become common occurrence nowdays. She didn’t have this issue before pregnancy. Is there any over the counter medicine or ointment she can use for the pain? Or anything as a stool softener which is safe for pregnancy? Hope anyone could help

Hi and thank you for asking us
Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, I completely understand your concern over this matter. It is advisable for doctors to check your wife’s condition first before giving a proper diagnosis and treatment. Because I’m unable to check your wife’s condition I’m unable to give a diagnosis for your wife’s condition. There are a few causes that can lead to to the symptom your wife is experiencing such as:
- Anal fissure
- Proctitis
- Hemorrhoids
- Diverticular disease
- Inflammatory bowel syndrome
- Colon polyps
- Tumors
Avoid the nuisance stomach problems with the right care for your digestive system.
