Okay so back around december 17th, I started noticing that stool was coming out harder then normal and Id sometimes feel a sharp pain and see blood, a little light red too. Not dark red which I red can be bad. (Id see only a tiny tiny little bit of blood on the toilet paper like I'm sure not many people would have even noticed it.)
I was really freaked out and all so I started reading as much as I can people suggest tons of things like CANCER and I'm like deathly scared right? The most things that made sense was tears from hard stool/anal fissures yada yada. I took stool softeners for about 1 week and off and on the next week, and it helped alot.I started eating more fruits, bread, water, and these past month I don't feel as sore down there, don't bleed, sometimes it's a little hard still but no blood. Felt like everything was normal again. I had boyfriend check back in jan and he said he didn't see any cuts or anything and it all looked normal. But I SWEAR when I touched down there to make sure, my anus seemed..inflamed or something? It felt bigger and really sensitive. Now it doesn't, and hasn't for awhile. But just today there was hard stool and I bleed.
I am way too nervous to get my butt checked, even with someone I live with I was shaking at the idea when he looked...do I have an anal fissure? Am I freaking out too much? Someone please please help. I don't know what to do, I haven't been eating as many fruits lately so that maybe had a part in it.
Sorry for the long post.
