Hey everyone
Really happy to have found a community on here about this dreaded subject, I hope someone here can help me!
Ive had a fissure now for around 8 years maybe, I went to my gp, got given creams etc, it came and went but nothing really worked long term.
Since then ive not been back to the doctor and ive put it to the back of my mind until now, im fed up of seeing blotches of bloody on tissue (100% a fissure and not coming from inside) and sharp pains on my bum., recently ive kinda "leaked" a bit of watery,browny blood and its been in my boxers. sorry to be graphic.Time to get rid of this bad boy for good!
A part of me is embarrassed to go to the doctor again with it so im wondering if anyone has any advice on how i can treat it from home?
I eat quite healthily, most days I have my 5 a day, I drink plenty of water as ive suffered with a kidney stone and i dont drink alcohol much, maybe on a saturday every other week. Im fit and healthy.
I do go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week and lift weights, although not heavy I do strain (i imagine this is bad for it?)
Any advice on a cream or anything would be great. Thanks :)
