Hi everybody
I found this board when I was googleing for anal cancer symptoms. I am not sure if I am paranoid, but I am scared to death, can't stop crying and having all kind of signs of advanced cancer. I am also melanoma survivor, so this probably also makes me more worried than most people.
My story. Since January I have sharp pain in my anus after BM, that can last for hours. Sometimes bleeding afterwards. Sometimes the pain has been so bad that I have taken pain killers. Mid February I had proctologist appointment who examined me (used also anuscope) and said I have hemorrhoids that can be seen between staples (I had PPH surgery for hems 4 years ago) and that my bowel in general looks very sour (slightly bleeding). he prescribed some medication - supositories and a cream (Dia.. smth) nothing helped :( went to see another doctor, who could not examine me, said I was too tense, but by description she suspected anal fisure. tomorrow she will do the examination under anasthesia, but I am so scared I have cancer .. can anal fissure be not seen even if anoscope is used? can AF still cause pain for months after treatment? very scared :(
