I've had lots of Fissures in the past they come and go but my latest problem has me looking for people to talk to. At least every month i get horrible soreness and itchy feeling just after a BM and I can feel a lump just inside my anus. It's been there for years and I don't think it's a hemorrhoid. I'm going to go visit the doctor for a third time but previously they have just shrugged my off not taking me seriously at all but it's becoming a real problem. I've got lots of things coming up in my life this year (teaching degree ect) and I don't want this problem or a fissure hanging over me.
What can I say to the doctors to take this more seriously, it's embarrassing enough having to go but when they think you're being a whip about it... I would ideally like to be sent to a specialist at the hospital so they can tell me exactly what is wrong with me and i can get the correct treatment. I have done all the usual like a big change in diet and lots of fiber and it has helped but the problem is still there. Feeling a bit down and beaten...
Thanks
My advice is to just go for it & be persistant! If the first Dr. doesn't seem sympathetic then see another & continue to see as many as it takes to get your concerns answered! I know that it can be hard to find genuinely concerned practictioners but they are out there. I have learnt this from experience & fortunately didn't give up on myself when everyone else did. I was heading down a bad road & it could've ended up a lot worse for me if I'd given up.
