Sometimes I find myself annoyed by how taboo the topic of anal fissures is! Like if I'm having a bad day and a coworker asks why I seem upset, I want to be able to tell them *why* without them getting all uncomfortable.
And the other day I was talking with my best friend and I discovered she probably has a fissure cuz she said she has pain & bleeding every time she goes. We were on our way to the grocery store so when we got there I marched right over to the the Metamucil aisle and started raving about the wonders of psyllium husk (like i do) and she got embarrassed and made us pretend we were buying it for her grandma.
I used to be like her, but I'm getting less and less embarrassed about it as time goes by.
Everyone poops!!!
