Constipation resulting hard stools and fissure requires plenty of water intake of up to 3 litres daily, eating of high fibre diet like whole grain items, fruits, leafy vegetables and regular exercise. Avoid spicy fried and fast foods permanently. Occasional laxatives or stool softeners like cremaffin or isab gul is effective. Apart from overcoming constipation you should consult a general surgeon or better still a proctologist for proper management including diagnosis and surgical intervention for fissure.
