Hi Thank you for posting in DoctorSpring.com
It's nice to hear that you are taking high fiber diet, eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Apart from these, I prescribe Laxative solution containing Lactulose or Sodium Picosulphate and Diltiazem cream for Anal application to my patients with similar complaints.
Please consult your Surgeon, get complete prescription and see the response for another 2 weeks.
If there is no response even after 2 weeks,then you have to undergo minor operative procedure called Lateral sphincterectomy. I routinely do this procedure to my patients with excellent results.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
