Hey All,
thought I'd post this in the general chat - most people know my history now! Had anorectal issues for years, fissures reoccurring, multiple surgeries, botox etc etc.
That's lead me to today - "healed" BM's don't really hurt, area feels fine otherwise but after BM if I don't have a bath to wash off any residue left in the bath I get this burn that's as bad as fissures all around the sphincter - like a chronic itch caused by stinging nettles which lasts until I can wash the area.
BMs are well formed, no sign of bile acid, blood or mucus, I'm just assuming my stool is really acidic and any trace of stool left after BM is just irritating the sphincter? I'm so grateful I have no more fissures but the skin there is SO sensitive this post bm burn is driving me up the wall as when I'm at work I can't bathe after a BM, I'm stuck with the pain for hours until I get home.
Any tips or people with the same issue?
