Hi Im new to this forum and to Fissures/hemorrhoids
Im Not sure what is going on but I have a lot of internal anal/rectal burning. No itching, no pain, just BURNING. I also experience an internal rectal sensations like that feeling when you need to push a bowel movement out. The sensation is present most of the day (no pain just a sensation) It comes and goes - I notice it all the time though. Its so bothersome.
Ive been eating really healthy this week to assist in the soft bowel movements. I feel the urge to go, but I have to push the stool out even though they are super soft. It like the motility at the sphincter isn't working properly? - Does that even make sense?
Im using the Prep H internal cream for the burning. It helps. I have the Prep H suppositories too but haven't used them just yet. I have a small lil bump externally that is not abnormal looking. It is a little tender but its not alarming
Im wondering if I have a Fissure internally? Ive never had one, but everything Im reading points to that - especially the burning
A little side note
-- I had to hold a bowel movement in a few weeks ago (maybe for 5 minutes) because there was no bathroom in sight (we were at the zoo) It was quite painful to hold in and i could feel burning/stinging while holding it. By the time I was able to have a bowel movement there was bright red streaks of blood on the toilet paper. Nothing major but alarming.. I had some diarrhea that day. I was fine for a week or so, and now im having all these new issuers. Could holding my stool in that day have damaged my sphincter muscle? If so can I fix it?
Im going to try the Prep H for the burning for one week and continue to clean up my diet. More fiber rich foods and water to see if I get better. If Im not better in a week Ill have my doctor check me.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. This is all new to me. Thank you
