Hey guys - How can I get a fissure to stop bleeding every time I use the restroom to defecate?

It's making me anemic. And I've had a few days without bleeding and then something, I don't know what, will tear me open.

Any advice or forum threads you can point me to?

Thanks all!

Hi there,

I hope you have found relief by now. If you are still bleeding every time - you need to see a doctor. Bleeding indicates an open wound - which means you could face infection. Sometimes it is also difficult to know how much blood you are losing.

I don't have any advice to stop the bleeding, taking stool softeners to make your fecal matter softer as you pass it might help in this department. It is important you have regular and smooth BM. Hard stool can aggravate your injury or make it worse.

I encourage you to seek medical help if it is an option.

Let us know how you are doing!
