I am also having other problems, diarrhea, black stool, stomach hurts, lost 21 pounds in the last month. i am considering going to another doctor maybe a gastro to help me. what does everyone think? thanks

Hi Jenny,
I would definitely go see another doc and see what the black stools and diarrhea is all about. I lost almost 50 lbs w/ my fissure but 21 pounds in a month sounds like a lot. Have you been eating a lot less than normal? Are you taking a stool softener or anything that could be causing the stomach upset?
How long did you have your fissure? The reason I'm asking is skin tags can develop with chronic fissures and are often mis-diagnosed as a hem. Hopefully that's not the case. Hopefully others can add more... Image

Hi Jenny-
Black stools can be an indication of bleeding further up the GI tract. I would go to a GI very soon. Or even a GP if you have a long wait to get into a GI. But I wouldn't let what you are describing go unchecked.
Take care.

HI Jenny, Is it internal or external-H, in any case take care and get yourself diagnosed as symptoms are quite unusual and sober. Take care and eat helthy

Yes, get to a GP immediately. The hemmorrhoid doesn't sound as if it is anything to do with the other symptoms, which are the ones to worry about.
If the hemmie is very red and hurts a lot, it could be thrombosed. To get some relief, put an ice cube in a tiny, thin sandwich bag, and put it on it until it melts, that will take the pain away, and help with the swelling.
Best of luck!
