Hello!
I am in the process of trying to heal an AF at the moment and although it has gotten better over the past 2 months, as in the pain and burning sensation has diminished quite a bit and currently, i'm only left with some discomfort during a beginning of a BM with a slight pinch of pain and no pain at all afterwards, but I'm still having some bleeding occur during a BM. Even though the pain is not bothering me anymore, I'm worried that there is still some bleeding. The blood is still bright red and I know when I have a BM based on how it feels whether I'll be seeing blood when I wipe (sorry for TMI).
My question to anybody that can help is: Is it normal for bleeding to occur during the healing of an AF, even when the pain has diminished? And how long should the bleeding go on for and when should I become concerned? At one point the bleeding stopped for about a week and half and then just this week the bleeding started up again (lasting for about 5 days) but the pain is still barely there. I want to be optimistic with the pain diminishing and having no burning sensation or pain throughout the day that my AF is finally getting better, but I'm concerned that there is still blood after a BM.
Thanks!
