I had an anal fissure, but I’m pretty sure I don’t have it anymore since it’s been about 3 weeks and haven’t been experiencing pain or blood lately. What concerns me is that I still have this sentinel pile sticking out my arse. It doesn’t protrude as much as it used to, but I’m worried it won’t go away. Does anyone know if it naturally goes away?

Hey everyone. I took a number 2 a few minutes ago and I saw about half a pinky worth of blood on the toilet paper. It’s been happening for about a week now and I’m getting worried it’s an anal fissure. I called my school nurse (I’m 16) and she think’s it’s piles or haemorrhoids. I’m getting worried now and I don’t know what to do. A ate brunch recently and brunch had a bunch of lettuce, water, and fruits but it appeared as if it had no effect. I’m very freaked out right now.

Hi,

Last August I started getting blood spots on the toilet paper after a bowel movement. Upon finding this I immediately went to the doctors. The doctor referred me to a specialist. The specialist performed a Ridgid Sigmoidoscopy and said he seen two 2nd degree internal piles. I demanded further tests, however, and he booked me in for Flexible Sigmoidoscopy.

A few weeks later I had the Flexible Sigmoidoscopy and the surgeon performing it told me my sigmoid colon was fine, and the biopsies came back fine. He said he seen no piles, however. He claimed that the bleeding probably came from an anal fissure [I do not have the pain that accompanies this]

I have no pain during a bowel movement, only occasionally a burning sensation. As odd as it sounds, I felt around the anus after a bowel movement and felt a lump slightly protruding from my rectum, so i pushed it and it moved back in. A small amout of blood was on my finger. The blood is bright red and I have had a streak or two on the actual stool.

I have taken up bodybuilding again recently, and consume 30-40g of fiber a day. My stools are much larger than before I started this, and bleeding has worsened with blood being present on the toilet paper on a regular basis now, and 2 cases of streaks of blood on the stool.

Is this piles, or something more serious?

Thanks

I have two external hems. a possible anal fissure, and possible internal hems. I’m scheduled to have the surgery the Tuesday during thanksgiving week. I was wondering from everything I looked into about the procedure and the pain, if I do a lemonade cleanse so my body has no toxins to remove if it would be more beneficial on my recovery time. The cleanse is for 10 days, but i expect to have a flush from the doctor the day before the surgery. The thing I’m not sure about is this, I read about someone saying that your anal whole can shrink if it isn’t being worked. I have no idea whatsoever if this is true or not. can anyone tell me if this cleanse will mess me up or if it actually is smart for this kind of surgery recovery time? I’ve done cleanses before but they weren’t this demanding of not eating. PLEASE GUIDE ME THROUGH THIS.
Would it be best to do an all liquid cleanse? thats my main concern. If i don’t have a reason to use the bathroom for about 10 days or so would it help my healing process?

I had an EXTREMELY painful fissure about 2 months ago. I went to the doctor and he described it as an anal fissure with a thrombosed hemorrhoid.

After a week of treatment with nefedepine ointment, hot sitz baths and stool softeners.. I was feeling MUCH better. Within 3 weeks it was no longer a problem.

Well, this time around… I had tried to pass somewhat of a large stool [sorry for the t.m.i] and began to have the symptoms again; the swelling between the anus and the vagina, the pain after a bowel movement and the discomfort. It has lasted almost 2 weeks and is not getting better or worse… it seems like it gets a little better and then is painful again after a BM.

Any insight to what might be going on or what I should do?

Did I tear the fissure again?
