Nitroglycerin

There are different ointments on the market that contains nitroglycerin, and is available in most pharmacies.

This active ingredient is the one used to cure fissure hemorrhoids or also known as an anal fissure.

This fissure in the anus is literally a tear or cut in the anus. The cut is usually very small and fine, but enough to give you an indescribable PAIN.

The theory behind this ointment is that it supposed to relax the spasms of the rectal muscles, thus allowing more blood flow in the area.

By doing this, more blood flow in the anus, it promotes the healing process to the rectal fissures.

However, the big problem is that the side effects are severe and many including the following; dizziness, lightheaded, fainting, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision.

But the one that is the most common one is a very severe        head ache.

This is due to the fact that the anus absorbs the ointment very rapidly and effectively.  It  literally travels like a rocket!

By the way, you could suffer from only one or more of the side effects mentioned above.

The sad part is that even the stats by The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, have come to the conclusion that this active ingredient, more often just causes only huge headaches, rather than actually treat the symptoms of rectal fissures.

In my personal experience, when I was suffering with fissures, I used an ointment called "rectogesic," which obviously contained the very same active ingredient.

As per the stats report mentioned above by the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, all it did was give me a really huge and heavy headache and nothing else.

There was absolutely no relief of pain, and no fissures hemorrhoids cure whatsoever!
