So I've been around here long enough where I should probably know the answer to this, but here goes anyway: do any of you all have a fissure that bleeds without any pain?
My fissure has been a strong bleeder at times in the past, but the bleeding has always been correlated with pain. And the bleeding has been very miminal over the last month or two.
However yesterday and today I've noticed a decent amount of bleeding (considerably more so than in recent memory) but very little pain that comes with it. I haven't changed anything diet- or laxative-wise that could account for it. In fact I eat pretty much the same exact things (sandwiches and veggie soup) every single day.
The one thing I have done is taken a low dose of ibuprofen (200 mg a day) for a different condition. I know that ibuprofen is a blood thinner, so I suppose it could account for a bit more bleeding, but it still seems odd that my fissure would bleed noticeably more without announcing its presence through overt pain. Does anyone else's fissure behave in this way?
