Hi All,
I had anal fissures now for 4 years and I'm feeling really fed up with it all. I'm in my mid twenties and from the UK. When i first began bleeding I went to the doctor, who referred me to have a colonscopy to check it was nothing serious. I was then referred to my local hospital to see a specialist who told me there was nothing they could do as i was too young because of the risks.
That was 3 years ago now and I've still got fissures. It's the blood i find that really upsets me. Somedays i only had a small amount and others (like today) i have so much the toilet pan is bright red. I'm not sure what to do now as the doctors don't seem to care, so i don't bother going back to see them. I feel like even after 4 years i still get very upset about this and need help accepting the problem i have. I get so upset and worried i give myself an upset tummy and this causes a vicious cycle as my fissure can't recover.
Any ides of ways I can accept my problem?
Thanks for reading this and any help given
