I've had my fissure for almost two weeks now. I've seen my doctor, and she gave me anusol (that I can't use because it's too hard for me). For these past two weeks, I haven't seen one drop of blood on my stools or toilet paper. This morning's bowel movement was okay, no blood, but this afternoon's bowel movement was less painful, but noticed a very tiny amount of blood on my stool, and about less than half a tea spoon of blood on the toilet paper after i wiped. I wiped again and there was nothing. I took a bath after this bowel movement, and I must say tonight I feel the least pain since it started, but I can tell the cut is still there. I hope I'm just not getting used to the pain : /.
Is this blood a sign that my fissure is getting worse, even though it's feeling better? I've been eating salads, fruits, fibre 1 cereal, whole wheat asta, I sprinkle flax a lot of the stuff I eat, and I'm drinking over 10 bottles of water a day because I work construction in extreme heat (it's the summer here starting tomorrow). The only thing I may have done wrong in the past 24 hours was last night I had a FEW dorito's chips (my bowel movent this morning had no blood) and at lunch I smoke ONE cigarette, and last week I smoked 5 in one day and there was no blood even then.
I hope an experienced person helps me out with this, because my doctor seems too rushy to stop and talk about my symptoms more to get a better understanding.
