Hi guys.
I have this anal fissure started back in last November. One day I had a real hard-big stool. I felt like I was popping our a beer can. After that, you know the story. I got a chronic anal fissure. Since then, I started to take docusate and using verapamil ointment and hydrocortisone acdetate 2.4% - Paramoxine HCI 1% cream for the fissure util it healed my fissure in March this year. Upon healing, I quit taking docusate then that big-hard stool came back which re-opened the fissure.
I also had colonoscopy done in Dec 2010.
I am sure that the reason for that big-hard stool (the direct cause of fissure) was various vitamin pills that I was taking at that time. Now I take no vitamin pills, no more such big-hard stool.
But ever since the colonoscopy which was done in Dec 2010, the urge to defecate started to get weaker.
Now I only drink prune juice. With prune juice, I can feel the urge and have normal bowel movement. But without it, no urge from the rectal area. Only bloating from lower abdomen.
My bowel habit has been pretty normal through out my whole life until I get this fissure. I've been going every day in the morning. Occasional mild constipation but that was all.
I now removed the main source of fissure, so my bowel should move normal like it used be. But why am I still not feeling the urge from the rectal area???? I only feel bloating every morning still like a clock, but just no urge from down there?
What is wrong with me? I still have fissure and expected to have a surgery within 2 weeks.
Can anyone tell me why am I still constipated???
