A 76-year-old listener participated in Prof. Rafi Carso's program on 103FM : "I suffer from a hemorrhoid problem or a fissure problem" (crack or tear in the mucous membrane of the anus). She also stated that the therapeutic ointment she received from the doctor did not relieve the pain.

"The treatment of hemorrhoids and fissures is a little different," Carso said and explained: "But the thing they both have in common is first of all to make sure you have soft stools, you have to drink a lot of water."

Later, the listener wondered about the multitude of treatments offered to her, and the professor said: "It's worth trying everything."
