Hi guys, long story short about ten days ago I received anal sex from my boyfriend (I'm a gay male)... I don't usually receive anal sex but have done in the past and a few days afterwards I stared experiencing pain after BM.
Initially I thought it was just because of the sex, but I've now self-diagnosed an anal fissure, which I'm pretty certain is just inside my rectum on the left side. I've been attempting a high fibre diet, started using stool softeners about 3 days ago and attempted to use Anusol suppositories, but found they irritated it more.
The past 2 days or so have been less pain and more discomfort, like a constant throbbing unless I take ibruprofen - I've tried to bathe my bum but I don't have a bath!!! So have been using the shower head to clean after BM's, I've seen cases on here that last week's and months!! I had a really bad BM yesterday and had blood in my poo again, despite less pain - am I healing? Or is this something that is going to turn into a bigger problem? Any advice would be great, thank you !
