Hi there!
Just wanted to say that when I have my period, the whole area gets a bit swollen and sore. I just take extra good care of myself during that time. But you are not crazy....there is definitely a connection between fissure pain/uncomfortableness and periods. I had a deep fissure, had botox and then a simple fistula surgery which is why it took me so long to heal. Things are not the exact same in that area since but I am much better and consider myself healed. It's just a very sensitive and high traffic area. I posted all over this site if you want to know more or feel free to pm me.
Have you thought of trying botox of ointment doesn't work? Botox worked for me and it less invasive than surgery. Might be worth a shot. Good luck to you and hang in there! I also have a little one and who the heck has time for this stuff?!
