Hi All
5 weeks ago my doctor sent me to see a surgeon who did a colonoscopy and he told me that I have an anal fissure and skin tag. I was given rectogesic & stool softeners to take. I have also increased by fibre intake, fruit & veg and drink loads of water... But it still hurts every time I have a BM and it always bleeds like a cut - just a small bit on the tissue paper. Surely it cant heal if this circle continues? I work in an office which means I have to sit - which is the last thing I want to do at the moment . I am very depressed over it and end up in tears over it because I feel like it is taken over my life (I am only 25).
I dont know of anyone else with my problem so I thought I could get some support from other sufferers here, who understand what I am on about. Next week will be week 6, and from what I here if it doesnt heal after 6 weeks - I will need surgery. Has anyone been able to heal their AF after 6 weeks without surgery??
Thanks for listening x
