Hi doctor, i’am 8 months pregnant now. Due to hard stools I got anal fissures and sentinel tag. I’am experiencing unbearable pain. My gynaecologist suggested me lidocaine gel and cremaffin syrup. Still the pain persists. Please let me know how much does it take to heal? Or should I change some other medicines?
